I just read her blog. Why does she not leave that place? -—which is the same thing I tell folks who are terminally critical of Texas, the USA or wherever. I guess she would not have an entertaining blog is she did.

Yes. Very pleasantly surprised she is writing again.

We, it's her life and pulling up stakes can be difficult. I understand not wanting to chuck everything and move. IIRC, her husband is a liberal and that may factor into a move.

I wish she would enable comments again, but I understand that she was dealing with a LOT of leftist vitriol and very little of it was civil, at all. I would like to tell her "welcome back to the fight". She is a shining light.

Why am i not surprised? Robin's Congresscritter is Barbara Lee.

Berkley doesn't have a chance.

People don’t have to live in any particular place to have the right stuff in their heads. Take a look at Austin, Texas for example.

Berkeley can be a very entertaining place to live.

Here's John Yoo on living in Berkeley:

DC: You’ve been teaching at UC Berkeley’s law school for more than 20 years now. Obviously your political orientation stands a bit against the prevailing political winds here. What initially attracted you here, and what’s kept you around?

JY: It’s one of the great universities in the world, and one of the great law schools in the world. I’ve always thought myself very fortunate to have gotten a position here.

I’ve always lived in liberal environments. The only time I’ve ever worked in a conservative environment was two years in the Bush administration, and I can’t say I enjoyed it all that much. I’m used to being surrounded by liberals. Liberals make better food, they have entertaining cultural activities, they’re good at making handmade items. It’s always good to live in liberal towns, I think. Conservatives are not having any fun in conservative towns.
