BERKELEY
Council vote tonight on impeaching Bush

The famously liberal city of Berkeley is expected to become the first in the nation to put forth a ballot measure calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney.

The City Council will decide tonight whether to put the measure on the Nov. 7 ballot, at a cost of about $10,000. The measure, if approved, would create a task force to monitor the president and vice president, who backers of the initiative say should be impeached because of the Iraq war, federal wiretapping and other issues.

Dozens of cities, including San Francisco and Oakland, have approved resolutions advocating impeachment, but Berkeley could be the first to let voters decide.

The initiative by the city's Peace and Justice Commission and backed by Mayor Tom Bates, first arose in 2004 but never made it past the City Council because some thought it distracted from the presidential election.

Funny.

I feel like I should say something because that city is where I spend most of my life these days (school), but it's just ridiculous.

It's funny how only one of our three Berkeley students on the Atlass is liberal.

The school is just a bunch of non-political or slightly-liberal overachievers these days.  It's not the same school as it was in the 60's.  A lot of the most political people I know are libetarians, actually.  The Berkeley College Republicans is the biggest student organization on campus, interestingly enough.

Hey I go to Columbia, which is known for its liberalism, yet I hardly fit the mold of a jfern-style liberal.

I was at Columbia from Saturday-this morning.  The campus was awesome

But, tell me this: how on earth can residents of John Jay survive with one bathroom for approximately 40 rooms per floor

I mean, we had to commandeer the girls' bathroom on our floor just to survive!

I lived in John Jay last year.  Next to Furnald, which is gorgeous, it's the best living on campus for a first-year.  There is one guys' bathroom and one girls' bathroom for the entire floor.  It's really not that bad; since everyone has different class times, people use the bathroom at different times and thus the showers are not crowded.
