Berkeley Liberals Do Berkeley Liberal Thing
The ubiquitous yellow Livestrong bracelets have a little blue-haired stepchild, thanks to the efforts of some Berkeley residents. The San Mateo Times has details:

University of California, Berkeley, law student Chris Busselle, his wife and his longtime friend didn't realize they were catching a tiger by the tail when they brainstormed ways to keep Democratic morale and activism high after President Bush was re-elected and Republican Congressional majorities widened.

They decided to start a Web site, www.thinkblue2008.com, on which they would sell blue rubber bracelets — like the popular yellow "Livestrong" bands hawked by cycling champion Lance Armstrong's foundation for cancer patients — bearing the next presidential election's date and an admonition to "Think Blue."

CalDems grabbed 500 of them, so expect to start seeing them around campus. (Save one for me, please. Thanks.)

*Update* The conservatives are red-banding it up now, also. You can get red bracelets at www.thinkred2008.com. (I'd like one of those too, if BCR ends up distributing them like the CalDems.)
