I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man, I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside, ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide, Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride, I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide, I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man, I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
I feel strong about right and wrong, And I don't take trouble for very long, I got something deep inside of me, and courage is the thing that keeps us free, I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man, I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride, I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide, I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man, I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life! I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man, I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
Notwithstanding my love of professional wrestling, that is not a song I often heard growing up. I mean c'mon, I'm not from Sarah Palin's real America. I was born in the Democratic Republic of Berkeley. My parents are the hippiest hippies to ever hippie (so many stories I can't even tell here). I'm 2 parts Cindy Sheehan and 3 parts Markos Moulaghoagih.
But I've always wanted to be a real American. I've always wanted to say my vitamins and eat my prayers (I've heard they taste like cotton candy mixed with unicorn). Enter: Mrs. TwistNHook. She's from South Carolina. South Cack!
That's gotta be real America. The realest America. An America SO real they don't care about educating their students or helping their unemployed. Now THATS some hot America right there.
Everytime I go there, I always try to just drink in the America. Whether its the strip clubs RIGHT NEXT to the churchs (no joke). Or the gas stations that sell fried chicken 24/7 (NO FUCKING JOKE).
"You haven't lived until you've scarfed down a 6 piece spicy chicken meal at 6 AM on January 1st, you havent FUCKING LIVED until that." via astroluxe.com
But I guess it doesnt matter how many times Ive been eating chicken sandwiches and filling up my car tank in the middle of the night on January 1st. Although, to be fair, it has been a lot.
Because I dont know if theres anything that can inject enough AMERICA into to me to overcome my roots. Well, if Dodge's Fried Chicken isn't enough, I know there is at least one moment in my life that might be enough to stop my Pelosification.
It was December 24. I was getting ready to celebrate XMas. I hadnt really practiced that particular holiday growing up. Im MOT. A Heeb. Christian holidays are all about celebrating somebodys birth or death or something. Jewish holidays are about getting a great deal on oil. "We bought 1 days worth and it lasted 8 days! Unbelievable!" (Credit: Jon Stewart) My dad would bring us out, wed light a candle, say something resembling baruch anoidoi melasomething or other and then Id return to Final Fantasy III. I think we were supposed to do that more than one night, but we were lazy. So very lazy.
As it were, I was a bit new to this foreign concept. I remember the first year I had XMas with my (at that time future) in-laws. I bought XMas cards and affixed them to all the gifts I bought. Apparently, you dont buy individual cards for each present. My father in law spent most of that day mocking me for that XMas faux paux. Toads awk.
So, I was ready the next year. I had it all good to go. But apparently my efficient focus was not shared by my brother in law. It was 12.24 and he hadnt finished his shopping. And it was about 5:45. In the PM.
Now, theres generally one main place to go in South Cack to get stuff. Wal-Mart. Need clothes? Wal-Mart. Camping supplies? Wal-Mart. Medical Care? Wal-Mart.
Im not even sure if theres a Wally World in the Yay. I hadnt encountered it until I got to South Cack. Its a magic(k)al place where you can get both diamond rings, auto parts, and "organic" produce all for less than 30 bucks total. And on XMas Eve, its about the only place thats open. But, apparently, even Wal-Mart's capitalism bows to its Christianity.
Because when we got to Wal-Mart (at about 550 or so) we were told that we had 10 minutes and it closed at 6. So, we started sprinting FLAT OUT SPRINTING through this South Carolinan Wal-Mart on XMas Eve surrounded by all these really fat people in NASCAR clothes or Pittsburg Steelers jerseys (the Steelers are popular everywhere, no idea why). I'm bouncing off of people my hands full of shit, trying not to drop anything anywhere. Those clerks might have judged me, but hey it wasn't me who screwed up their shopping. And I'm the XMas rook, my brother in law had like 2 decades of experience by that point!
Such was the moment when I was showered with Americana. When I was able to put my crazzzy hippe dirty Jew life behind me and accept the crass Christianity comercialism that is Real America. At some point when I was sprinting back and forth down the gun aisles to see if my brother in law wanted any more ammo to give to his father, I knew that I was only 1 bad platinum blonde dye job away from being a Real American.
SING IT WITH ME, PEOPLE:
I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man, I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!
When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside, ya' gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide, Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride, I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide, I am a real American, Fight for the rights of every man, I am a real American, fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Baseball beats UC Davis:
BERKELEY, CALIF. - The California baseball team rebounded from a 3-0 deficit to defeat UC Davis, 6-5, Tuesday at Evans Diamond. The Golden Bears had trailed 3-1 before scoring four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, highlighted by a lead-off home run by junior second baseman Jeff Kobernus and doubles by Blake Smith, Danny Oh and Dwight Tanaka. Cal improved to 20-26 overall, while the Aggies dropped to 7-36.
The winning pitcher for Cal was freshman right-hander Logan Scott, who picked up his first collegiate victory in relief, entering the game in the third inning and throwing 4.0 innings with four hits, two earned runs, no walks and three strikeouts. Freshman right-hander Dixon Anderson pitched the ninth inning (one hit, one strikeout) to earn his second save of the season. The losing pitcher for UC Davis was starter Tom Briner (0-5), who threw 5.1 innings with seven hits, four runs, two walks and one strikeout.
The Aggies had grabbed the early lead when first baseman Ty Kelly hit a three-run homer to left field off of Scott in the top of the third inning. The Bears were able to come back with a run in the bottom of the third off of Briner when sophomore first baseman Mark Canha hit a two-out single to score junior center fielder Brett Jackson, who hit a double to the right center field gap.

Softball takes on UW and UCLA:
The No. 12/13 California Golden Bears play their final three games of the regular season this week, taking on a pair of top-five ranked teams. Cal travels to Los Angeles to take on the No. 3/2 UCLA Bruins Thursday, May 7 at 1 p.m. The Bears then head north to Seattle for a pair of games against the No. 4/5 Washington Huskies, playing Friday, May 8 at 3 p.m. and then closing out the regular season on Saturday, May 9 with a game at 12 p.m.
Cal moved up one spot in both polls this week, coming in at No. 13 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Top-25 poll and at No. 12 in the USA Today/NFCA poll. The Pac-10 continues to dominate the polls with three of the top-five teams in both polls coming out of the conference. Oregon and Oregon State are the only teams in the Pac-10 not ranked in the top-25.
The Bears won their final non-Conference game of the season, defeating UC Davis 3-1 in Davis last week, giving them their 25th win this season over a team outside of the Pac-10.
The Bears battled the elements and the Arizona schools over the weekend. The teams lost their fight with the rain on Friday night, having to cancel their showdown with Arizona. Because of the tight schedule, the game will not be rescheduled. Saturday and Sunday’s games each had their first pitches pushed back two hours because of rain, but both ended up being played in almost completely dry conditions.

I thought I might have been promoting this a bit too hard, but now I’m promoting it every moment of every fucking day just to piss off Rishi.
A person who isn’t Rishi decided to spend time not drinking and pretending to have any ability to speak to women by expressing themselves creatively. Now, you have an opportunity to share that creative expression with him:
BERKELEY – California forward Jamal Boykin will hold an art exhibition to showcase his drawings of President Obama on Saturday, May 9, at the Alphonse Berber Gallery located at 2546 Bancroft Way from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Barack Obama Collection features 44 hand-drawn portraits of President Obama, all done by Boykin, with photography by Nican Robinson. There will be a special presentation at 7 p.m. where Boykin will speak along with poetry recited by Cal guard Patrick Christopher. Donations will be encouraged to raise money for art supplies for students at Malcolm X Elementary School. This is the first of a series of shows that will also take place in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. Refreshments will be served.
Opened on Feb. 27th, 2009, the Alphonse Berber Gallery is located in a beautiful 7200 square foot Julia Morgan-designed building across from the University of California. The gallery presents the work of dynamic, aggressively innovative emerging to mid-career contemporary artists. With each exhibition, the interior space is re-imagined in order to craft the ideal vehicle for showcasing a diverse range of genres and mediums.

JO reviews RBs from spring practice.
WHERE WE STAND: There’s no deep analysis needed here. We all know Best will be the featured tailback and one of the best in the country if he is healthy. His absence this spring was good for Vereen and DeBoskie. Vereen was steady but not spectacular in the spring, but he proved last season he is a valuable backup. It will be interesting to see if DeBoskie pushed Vereen at all for some second team reps. Vereen is incredibly dependable and one of the most respected players on the team by both coaches and teammates.
MOVING FORWARD: Best said he expects to be completely healthy well before the start of training camp. He hopes to be ready in time for offseason conditioning workouts, which start around the end of June. When the fall comes around, Best will be the most overexposed offensive player on the West Coast. Even if he is completely healthy, which everyone expects, the coaches still may limit him a bit during camp. They do that even when he isn’t injured, simply to protect their star player. Again, that will help Vereen and DeBoskie. There’s no reason to believe Vereen won’t once again get his occassional chances as a backup. He won’t simply be waiting in case Best gets hurt. The Bears will use him.Schwartz and Kendricks are among Ted Miller’s 20 players to emerge this fall.
California
Offense: Mitchell Schwartz, OT, So.: The general feeling is Schwartz could play his way into a first-day pick in the NFL draft.
Defense: Mychal Kendricks, LB, So.: Talent meets opportunity — will Kendricks take advantage?

I’ve had dealings with Natu Tatulaouga (sp…) before for work. He’s a huge guy. I asked him if he played in the NFL because he was holding a NFL Players Association Lather Doc holder… and then as soon as I looked him up, I realized he was a Cal Bear.
Awesome pics, thanks!

Hey Twist, I don’t recall seeing in your Cal sports updates any mention of our 1-miler track star who just had the fastest 1-mile time in the country and 3rd fastest time in the world this year. Here’s a link I found:
Running for Cal Berkeley, Michael Coe won the Invitational Mile at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in Berkeley on Saturday, April 25. The Cabrillo High grad ran the race with a time of 3:56.18 which was the fastest time of 2009 and shattered the school record of 3:58.52. It is also the third fastest time in the world to date this year. The previous school record was set by Cal grad David Torrence at the same meet two years ago. Torrence finished second to Coe on Saturday in 3:57.07.

Red Cross confirms US bombs kill 120 innocent Afghans including women & children:
The international Red Cross confirmed Wednesday that civilians were found in graves and rubble where Afghan officials alleged U.S. bombs had killed dozens. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Washington “deeply, deeply” regretted the loss of innocent life.
Women and children were among dozens of bodies in two villages targeted by airstrikes, the International Committee of the Red Cross reported Wednesday, after sending a team to the district. The U.S. military sent a brigadier general to the region to investigate.
A former Afghan government official said up to 120 people died in the bombing Monday evening.
Opening a meeting with the presidents of Afghanistan and Pakistan at the U.S. State Department in Washington, Clinton said Wednesday that any loss of innocent life was “particularly painful.”

Miller on Cal’s breakout players to be:

Offense: Mitchell Schwartz, OT, So.: The general feeling is Schwartz could play his way into a first-day pick in the NFL draft.
Defense: Mychal Kendricks, LB, So.: Talent meets opportunity — will Kendricks take advantage?
KenCraw on TV scheduling:
Cal doesn’t come out bad with 3 games total (Maryland, USC and Oregon) which is 3rd behind USC’s 6 and Oregon’s 4. Washington and Oregon State are the only other teams with more than 1, with 2 each, and Washington State and UCLA were the 2 teams left out in the cold (boy, I wouldn’t want to be on the Bruin Nation website this week if I was an ABC exec).
Speaking of which, I’m somewhat suprised the Cal versus UCLA game didn’t get picked up. It has a history of being a close game in the Rose Bowl and you’d think they’d throw UCLA one bone. Here’s betting that the game gets picked up as ABC’s 12 day selection that they reserved for 10/17 at 12:30 PM. You’ll notice that minus USC games, ABC was very reluctant to pick up games midway through the season and the back end of the schedule is very "reservation" heavy. That says to me that ABC doesn’t have a lot of confidence about which teams will rise to the top and wants to hold out on their picks.
Other games that I wouldn’t be surprised being picked up by ABC for a reserved game are the Arizona State game (reservation is for 10/31 @ 12:30 PM) and perhaps the Big Game (reservation is for 11/21 @ 12:30 PM) although it tends not to attract the big networks because it’s mostly unrecognized outside of the Bay Area. I’d add

EA does such a half ass job with the college football franchise
I wish a competitor would give them some competition.
They used to do the same thing with their FIFA franchise until Winning Eleven started kicking their ass. Now they’ve made some improvements. Sometimes capitalism is good b/c when EA faces competition they step up. As it is NCAA 2007 is pretty much the same as 2009 (it’s not like the roster names are real anyway).

thanks for the me-specific link.
the ranch house is very much the idealic california house, but it stems from the greater ideal of the american dream (a topic I spent my summer after graduation working on). The problem is that sooner or later American’s are going to have to face the reality that not everyone can have a house with space and land. We will eventually run out of water, land, and the infrastructure of roads, electricity, etc. will be far too inefficient. Plus we lose the natural beauty of California if everyone in California has the ranch house designed to enjoy that natural beauty. If you need evidence, look at LA, Riverside, San Bernadino, OC…. Bottom line, we need to adjust the collective dream, in order to preserve the things about California that make it great. I would make the claim that in many ways the Ranch house is the anti-green building.
All that said…. I still want one somewhere between the Berkeley hills and Walnut Creek. Damned internal hypocracy!

well, allow me to clarify I’d accept the WC, like most Americans I love cars, and where ever I live I want their to be ample parking. The downtown WC, though filled with lurking cougars, is nice (I Love Va Da Vie – flights of wine yo!), however as soon as they finish pricing out the current nearby commercial tenants they are intent on expanding the downtown without additional parking. This is going to cause major parking headaches, I’m hoping to avoid once I move back. Hence, I’m hesitant to live there.
Also, my dream vision is living somewhere on the border of the regional parks, so my home opens up to a northfacing deck with great views of the local hills and trees. My financial plan is to win the lottery, or marry a sugar momma.

what i heard from my older brother (semi-reliable source), was that a lot of new development tracts had a tough time selling the new homes they built. Places like Yucaipa (I can’t remember the specific development, I think it was something like The Oaks), had built a 500 new homes, complete with a golf course, community park, etc. The only problem is the subprime mortgage crisis undermined the economy and stalled the real estate market. Thus, a large portion of these new 500 homes were never bought, and remain uninhabited.

as to Riverside County I guess, but it seems that the city proper doesn’t have that issue.

The last one may or may not have a “sport package.”
Heaps and Hinder...come on down!
that seems to be the general consensus
IF we play like we can with known quantities, and IF we get some consistancy from QB….we are right in it.

Cal’s biggest problem has been the same issue for every other team in the Pac-10: USC.
I disagree with this premise. It’s not like we’re cleaning up on everything else and then falling short solely because of $C. As he mentions himself a couple of paragraphs earlier, we also lost to teams like UCLA, Arizona and OSU.
The main problem is generally depth. Cal starts off strong but wilts later in the year because of injuries.
Im all about the Syd Pro Quo
The main problem has generally been the QB
The QB starts off weak in Ayoob and continues on through Longshore and Riley.

When was the last time Cal had a QB that was really solid for more than one year? Even Aaron Rodgers and Kyle Boller really only had one solid year, didn’t they?

True, though he didn’t start until the 5th game of 2003, his stats are still good for both years:
Year Team Comp Att Pct Yds YPA Td Int Rate
2003 Cal 215 349 61.6 2903 8.3 19 5 146.58
2004 Cal 209 316 66.1 2566 8.1 24 8 154.35

Exactly!
Which is odd considering who we have as a head coach.

From Aaron Rodgers’ wikipedia page:
Many believe his slip to #24 was due to the fact that he is considered short for a quarterback at 6’2" tall, as well as the so-far unsuccessful NFL careers of most of his college coach Jeff Tedford’s previous quarterbacks.
OMG……how many coaches consistently even have QBs being drafted in the first round? Can’t blame their failures in the NFL on Tedford….what it does suggest is the same theme we’re saying here, that there doesn’t seem to be prolonged success at the college level before they leave school.

Am I mistaken, or wasn’t his slip to #24 almost entirely due to the fact that other than the 49ers, no other team wanted or needed to draft a first round quarterback that year? He was still the 2nd QB taken, after all.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
The wikipedia page then goes on to say, alternatively that another reason for his slip was that teams who drafted 1-23 had needs at other positions.
Still, I think its a little bit of a negative spin to suggest it is Tedford’s fault.

Time to change the Wiki article methinks.

That’s kinda true, but then again, if he were really that coveted, there would have been teams trading back up into the middle of the first round to take him even if the teams originally in those positions didn’t need him. That sort of thing has happened for J.P. Losman and Kyle Boller, among others. Not to say that they were worth it, of course.
Still holding out hope that Ryan Anderson will capitulate and grant him that interview he's been asking for for months now.
I removed that statement from his article
and reformed the paragraph so it doesn’t look missing.

A job well done, sir.
Your first time editing a Wikipedia article?
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
oh heavens no
I’ve got about 4K edits.
Go Bears Go
damn
how do you get to that many? do you hunt around for articles to edit?
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
a few here, a few there
over several years.
if you want to look for stuff to do….check out the noticeboards. Fringe Theories Noticeboard is one I troll a lot

When I was in HS I used to troll Ron Paul's page
my friends would always put up a picture of Bart instead of him and got our school’s IP range banned lol. I didn’t do anything that bad.
In other words, Go Bears!
That’s great, well done! Can you also put something in there about Nyan Boateng being Rodger’s preferred target?
Doctors recommend a daily dose of the Nyaninmeum to keep you operating at peak performance
as that would be vandalism....
no.
but! find some articles that discuss nyan and we can make an aricle (if there isn’t one already)

You just blew my mind
Doctors recommend a daily dose of the Nyaninmeum to keep you operating at peak performance
did it hurt?
there are articles on many current players….
if we can find articles by regular newspapers/magaizine’s (not blogs) we can use them to create an article about anyone you like.
Go Bears Go
although…this blog has both a) been included in Google News, and b) been cited by Wikipedia previously.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
yes, but!
for details on a biography of a living person, the rules are tighter.
the link to our discussion of some prank or whatever it was is different.

Should we set up a CGB Wiki page? Do we need a CGB Supreme Court ruling on this? Do we need a CGB Supreme Court?

Whats your view on Riley v. Longshore? Its the most controversial case the Court has ever heard!

Currently I find a summary judgment for Riley, Longshore does not have remaining eligibility.
the Maharg is above catch phrases
Its an old case that was decided many moons ago, but people still fight over it. Clearly, you havent done your reading. You are NOT on the Court.
