Semper Fi needs your help
Dinah's getting a slow start out of the gate this morning because she stayed up LATE live FReeping the Berkeley City Council Meeting. If you haven't heard by now - the meeting did not go well for our side and what with the drinking game and all, she's moving kind of slow this morning.
FYI some of the drinking keywords (the ones I can remember!) included: "pothole", "nuance", "speaking truth to power", "millions dead in Iraq", "Halliburton", "Militaristic-Industrial complex", "Recruiters lies", "For the children", "Chomsky".
Council Member Max Anderson called Senator Jim DeMint a jerk - on the record! I heard it with my very own ears! Maxwell Anderson can be reached at: City of Berkeley2180 Milvia StreetBerkeley, California 94704 Phone: (510) 981-7130 Email: manderson@ci.berkeley.ca.us
One of the Pinkos read a letter from Cindy Sheehan in Egypt where she is working on "human rights causes". I suspect a camel was also involved. Not only that, her sister also got in front of the mic to pimp Casey. Again. I feel so bad for him.
Well, you can see how playing this game while listening to the uber-liberal City Council members, Code Pinkos, ANSWER skanks, and World Can't Wait wobblies spewing this kind of crap all night could leave one a wee bit hungover.
And feeling a little dirty.
Thank God for all the patriots that stood up for the Marine Recruiters, the troops and America. The Gold Star Moms spoke eloquently and poignantly about their sons. Their dignity should have shamed each and every Council Member. (Don't count on it.) The US Armed Service vets and current soldiers, sailors and Marines were awesome. The VietNam vets were still so hurt, and their words so heart felt - you couldn't help but be moved. And then there were the old-timers. Vets of Foreign Wars, Legionnaires, Korean War guys. Man, they brought a tear to my eyes. (But I've always been a big softy for old codgers.) Business leaders and small business owners lined up to talk about the negative impact the foolish actions of the City Council wack jobs were having on their bottom line.
The City Council pretty much blew them ALL off and then scurried behind the old but-we-support-the-troops-just-not-their-mission-dodge.
That's why I am asking for your help. Despite being called a jerk and the Defeatocrat Dems feeble attempt to block the vote until after the meeting, Senator Jim DeMint is still pressing forward on the Semper Fi Act of 2008. Please contact him to show your support of stripping the city of Berkeley of their federal earmarks.

Want a laugh? Go visit Redwood Mary's blog. She was one of the Pinko speakers and she was a doozy.
Got a minute? Perhaps you could gin up a little form email or give the following local area merchants an idea of what you think about the Berkeley City Council's blatant disrespect for our country and our troops. List courtesy of lowbridge.
