Ka-ching! The cash register rings again for Cindy Sheehan. Black Oak Bookstore is a small affair, located at the very edge of Berkeley's commercial district. On Wednesday, June 28th, Cindy was there lecturing to a gaggle of tree-hugging dirt-worshipers and signing (and selling) copies of a book in which she wrote the foreword. The title of the book? "Ten Excellent Reasons Not to Join the Military". It's a pretentious little tome, packed with half-truths and sedition.

Having raked in the cash, Cindy then traveled about ten blocks away to City Hall. Why? Because the Berkeley City Council was going to vote on a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush and there were rumors that it (gasp) wouldn't be unanimous. Betty Olds, who has been on the Council since 1992, had expressed her concerns about the cost of putting the measure on the ballot. At a time when retail revenues from merchants in the city's-once lucrative Telegraph Avenue district are plummeting and three of the city's five car dealers (huge tax revenue generators) have either closed their doors or are planning to move out of town, there is precious little fat in Berkeley's budget. Throngs of homeless people clog Berkeley's filthy, unkempt streets and and police resources are strained to the breaking point, trying to fight rising violent crime rates while operating on shoestring budgets. Berkeley is is dire financial straits and Olds is keenly aware of it. Although she had planned to be the lone "No" vote, she made the results a unanimous moonbat victory after hearing Sheehan address the Council. The Council then proclaimed "Cindy Sheehan Day in the City of Berkeley" in honor of Sheehan, who moved there last spring. Olds, who sponsored the resolution, said "Berkeley is a better place to live now that Cindy Sheehan lives here."
