How about Berkley.

[screwballl]

they can be an isolated portion that joins the seceding state

edit: read up more on this:

DeMint said he will draft legislation to rescind any earmarks dedicated for the City of Berkeley in the recently passed appropriations bill — which his office tallied to value about $2.1 million. He said that any money taken back would be transferred to the Marines.
DeMint's office provided a preliminary list of items that would be subject to his proposal:
— $975,000 for the University of California at Berkeley, for the Matsui Center for Politics and Public Service, which may include establishing an endowment, and for cataloguing the papers of Congressman Robert Matsui.
— $750,000 for the Berkeley/Albana ferry service.
— $243,000 for the Chez Panisse Foundation, for a school lunch initiative to integrate lessons about wellness, sustainability and nutrition into the academic curriculum.
— $94,000 for a Berkeley public safety interoperability program.
— $87,000 for the Berkeley Unified School District, nutrition education program.

Update - some libs get it, some don't.

Threaten to remove the federally funded trough at which Berkeley politicians feed and look what happens.

Still, some just don't get it. Like Xanne Joi of Code Pink, who seems to think the right of free speech means her pet charity should be given a public parking place in front of the Marines to protest.

Unbelievable.

This thread needs to be in the Politics section.

San Francisco and Berkley the land of the Fruits and Nuts.

just like typical Kerry/Clinton supporters, now they "clarify" their message saying they support the troops, just not the war. It took them a long night meeting to find the best way to not piss off as many people and they think that this is better. Actions speak louder than words.

After a marathon session that stretched into early Wednesday, the council decided not to send the letter, saying they recognize recruiters' right to be in Berkeley. The council said they still strongly oppose the war and the recruitment of young people into it, but "deeply respect and support" the men and women of the armed forces.
