The Longshore-Riley-Mansion Debates: Decision Making
After four weeks of action by our football team, we continue the California Golden Bears quarterback debates of 2008.
MODERATOR: After a spirited first round, it’s time for a new topic. Mr. Longshore, for two years you were the starter under Jeff Tedford and ran his West Coast offense with great proficiency. Yet after you struggled [...]
The Longshore-Riley-Mansion Debate
MODERATOR: Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Wheeler Auditorium for tonight’s momentous Cal quarterback debate. Remember, Coach Tedford is monitoring this very closely as a testament to your strength of character. No personal attacks, let’s keep this civil and on-topic as to why each of you should be starting next season.
Mr. Nate Longshore, my first question [...]
Viva La Cascara de Rosa!
(AP) HAVANA, CUBA–Now that Fidel Castro has finally relinquished power, he has also decided to reliniquish his hex on the Cal football program and their half-a-century shutout from the Rose Bowl. He officially removed the pins from a voodoo doll of Pappy Waldorf late last night.
The California Golden Bears have not been to a Rose [...]
You Can Never Be Berkeley Enough
The annual bizarro festival celebrating the madness of Berkeley is this Sunday. This photoblog of 2004’s marching will hopefully deter you from going (Warning: NSFW, or life for that matter). [Zombietime]
It’s 9/11, A Somber Time For Reflection and …
…It was an Inside Job! INSIDE JOB DAMNIT!
Welcome to the Bay Area, where the crazy never ends.

A Word From the Messopotamians…
In case you do things like travel the world or follow the news, Iraq might not be very high on your “places to see” list. What’s going on there isn’t something we like to talk about too often, simply because the ensuing discussion would be anything but
Nevertheless, if you also happen to be one of [...]
Student Special: The Republicans, Dominating Cal As Usual
Everyone takes for granted that Berkeley is a liberal heathen town that would slaughter elephants like game poachers, but try telling that to the Berkeley College Republicans, who have impressively mobilized to dominate the oh-so-important political world of Cal. Especially since no one ever knows where those fifty-three electoral votes will go in November. [...]
The Lord Cannot Be Pleased With This
A week or so ago back in Berkeley, the progressive and spiritually enlightened Chris Hedges and the atheist “neo-con” Christopher Hitchens (yeah, you heard that right) squared off in your usual debate about the existence of God–and we’re not talking about the Flying Spaghetti Monster. We’ve seen Hitchens go head-to-head with Jon Stewart and Bill [...]
Congratulations, Your Awareness Is Useless and Painful
It’s certainly an honor to be compared to great figures in human history who have inspired us to change for their better. For instance, many people use Gandhi as their main man these days with that increasingly overused “you must be change” quote. So when Professor Mark Danner gloriously compared his graduates to a [...]
Your Vote Goes To The Highest Bidder
Like most sane people, we despise the RIAA. Despise it for its undemocratic existence. Despise it for taking power out of the hands of artists and giving it to the record labels. Despise the idiotic amount (any amount) of influence that it has in Capitol Hill. Well, it turns out the Bay Area’s own [...]
