Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. What do Carter and Bush have in common? Problems with Schwarzenegger's health insurance plan. Someone missed the sarcasm in Tim Redmond's column about wifi. Steven T. Jones is working hard this week, covering not only Fake Question Time on the blog but also the trademark fight over Burning Man. Cover article: There's only six quail in the Presidio now, and they're all male. Is the Presidio like the Castro for quail? Sonic Reducer on the careerism in pop. Hey, Pee Wee Herman's coming to Amoeba on the 21st for a DVD signing. New fancy restaurant in the Presidio. Is quail on the menu? And David Cross's horoscope: He's reached the end of a wicked stressful cycle! We hope we didn't contribute to that.
Next up, the East Bay Express. Dellums supporters lash out in the letters. Litter police in Oakland. Cover article: Life after your gastric bypass surgery -- people have mixed feelings. Living up to your New Year's resolutions. Near disaster at the Fire Ballet when the sprinkler system goes off on an aerialist. Noe Valley's Miss Millie reopens in another guise in Oakland. A record label in Orinda, online trading for CDs. And Savage Love: Is my boyfriend straight or gay?
After the jump: The Metro and the SF Weekly, plus the Weekly of the Week and your Weeklies count for the year!
Next up, the Metro: Chuck Reed's inauguration ceremony was hard on disgraced outgoing mayor Ron Gonzales. Poor Ron Gon! A developmentally disabled man was forced out of his institutional home into private care and subsequently died. Cover article: How can we revitalize Silicon Valley public TV? Killer Chinese food in a Milpitas Asian mall. A $10,000 Valentine's Day dinner package from Alexander's Steakhouse in Cupertino. They'll bake jewelry into your dessert! (We are not even making that up.) Former Kronos Quartet cellist is performing improv/jazz in Santa Cruz. And Straight Dope: was there a nuclear meltdown in Simi Valley? Yes there was!
And finally, the SF Weekly: Exposed breasts on the table of contents page! The Apologist on the Giants. We feel like SFist Jon could do a better job than us in getting these jokes (but they do seem funny). The Independent Press Association closes, taking down a bunch of indie magazines in its wake. Also, stop pouring bacon fat down your drain, and that squealing noise the MUNI makes when the doors are obstructed has got to go. Matt Smith writes the cover article about gambling and we're sorry, but we just do not get it. We swear we're trying to read it, it's not just that we're lazy! Barbecue in the city. Churches in town, dance classes, and snazz up your MySpace page (and become SFist's friend!). Saddo indie rocker Emily Haines. And the Bouncer on Sammy Hagar.
Weekly of the Week: Upon some deliberation, we're going with the EBX, because we liked the women's magazine feel of the three ladies dealing with life after gastric bypass surgery article. But we are totally scheming to get ourselves a $10,000 Valentine's Day dinner in Cupertino too! We've always wanted to eat diamonds dipped in creme brulee!
YTD: Guardian: 1. EBX: 1. Metro 1. Gotta step it up, SF Weekly!
