Oh Noes! Not the Funding!

Always remember one of the hallmarks of a spoiled brat is the ability to dish it out but not take it:

As six Republican senators devised a plan to yank $2.3 million in federal funding for Berkeley programs, the mayor of the famously liberal city apologized Wednesday for his hard stance against a Marine recruiting center.

Too bad these aren't actually six-year-olds, and they're running a city.

Being able to think more than three turns ahead is the mark of a grand master, in politics as much as chess. I'm not sure what sort of mark is made when someone doesn't even think of the consequences of the move their making right now.

Note the stated reason for wanting the Marines to move is that they attracted "protestors". Golly, does that mean it is really the "protestors" who are objectionable?

And the letter was never sent.

Pull funding anyway, for a year.
