More Cal Related Shenanigans

In my time in Berkeley, all we ever got by way of controversy were your regularly scheduled protests (boring), the town wide attempt to impeach the President (slightly amusing), and the disappointingly dull antics of the Berkeley Tree People.

Now, all of a sudden, things are really heating up in that other city by the bay.

First you've got the made up recruit, a kid in Nevada or Utah who staged a fake press conference to announce that he was signing with Cal for football. Turns out noone at Cal had ever even heard of the kid. I dunno about football, but someone should hire the kid for his fake-event planning skills. Waitta be, buddy.

And second, you've got the "Marine Recruiting Station" controversy. This one really speaks for itself so I'll abstain from further comment. Stories like this are what make Berkeley the self-importantly hilarious (but wonderful) place that it is. Oh, Berkeley--sigh--how I miss you...
