Ever wonder where Berzerkley, CA got its name?

This photo was shot yesterday at the protest/counter-protest in Berkley, CA that was prompted by that cities leadership voting to ban Marine recruiters.  Can't we just let them secede from the union?
I don't think I'd bring my child to this event.

    In Ukrainian, it's Україна.

    Point taken Taras. Unfortunately I only know how to use the Russian phonetic keyboard on my computer (plus very few people that read this would know the difference). Everyone I know down here speaks Russian anyway so that's the language I'm trying to learn.

    Thanks for the comment and indirectly connecting me with your blog.

    Wow. And people ask why I ran away from that coast. That poor kid will be scarred for life!!

    What's with the comments above? Did I miss you trying to type something in Ukranian?

    Near the top of the right-hand column is a map of Ukraine in the colors of their flag. I can write stilted Russian by switching the keyboard settings by setting it to phonetic Russian (it still takes forever to find some of the weirder letters) but I don't have Ukrainian. Taras was pointing out that I wrote Ukraine in the Russian way, with the backwards "N", and not in Ukrainian with the "i" with the dots.

    Good thing Berkeley is located right next to pillars of conservatism and morality: Oakland and San Francisco!
