Lucas (1986), Say Anything (1989), My Bloody Valentine (1981): The first film has socially-retarded Corey Haim falling head over heels in love with a sensitive football player, Charlie Sheen, or something like that; Cameron Crowe's tale of teenage love and angst has John Cusack causing egregious noise pollution when he holds up a ghettoblaster pumping out a Peter Gabriel ballad; and the final film has a murderer in a small coal mining town killing......

Happening on Castro and State streets over the weekend, where Gus Van Sant's Milk is currently shooting, it started out with the words "Harvey + George" (with a hearts!), "The Penn is lying" (Leigh Wolf, say it ain't so!), and the oddly and for no reason URL-y "Dan White.com, faggotkiller." Then, it turned into the bathroom wall at the Lexington, but not nearly as amusing, collapsing in on itself with to much text and......

Can you read that? SFist Jim got some pictures of Ed Jew's statement at the Herrera press conference earlier today. We've taken the liberty of uploading it (page 1, page 2) to our Flickr account if you want to see the whole thing. We were going to type out the whole statement for you, but then we figured we'd just wait for someone in the MSM to do it and we'll give you the......

Here's what we got from a quick email from SFist Jim, at the Herrera press conference (thanks, Jim! Mmmm-whhhahhh!): --Resignation is irrevocable --Ed cannot hold office in SF for 5 years. (Is Burlingame city council still up for grabs, though?) --No admission of guilt by Ed (so will this come in for the city criminal trial?) --In exchange, the city drops the civil suit and Gavin Newsom's investigation. --Ed was not present at the press......

SFist Jim reports that he went to the reopening of the San Francisco Zoo today, where he snapped the picture, above, of the tributes being placed at the zoo's tiger statue, and which he described as "a big bust." When we first read SFist Jim's email, we thought he was talking about the tiger statue (we were like, "they made a bust of Tatiana? So fast!"), but no, he meant the crowds, which were......

Bon voyag-ee, Cosco Busan! And don't come back! The leaky Cosco Busan ship that contaminated our beautiful bay with oil is expected to get clearance to get the heck outta Frisco, setting sail at noon today to head back to South Korea. We kind of have this vision of the ship disconsolately listing off into the sunset, leaving a trail of oil behind it, like when Wile E. Coyote hits something and walks off screen......

We could also use a Dunkin' Donuts. Failing that, the makers of Raweos could always set up shop next door. Did you see or hear about Gavin Newson's State of the City address? We did. For a few minutes. It seems the Gavin went on for over 100 minutes, as SFist Jim already pointed out. (Pretty people have a habit of droning on. We waste more time feigning interest in what attractive people have to......

Dun Dun (.wav file. You know, that Law and Order sound!) Ed Jew Preliminary Hearing, Day 1 San Francisco Criminal Court (sorry, we can't find out what courtroom he's in) Picture by SFist Jim, who was at the plastic bag event taking pictures and noticed a teeny-tiny Ed Jew in the background of one of his shots, which he forwarded to us and we've gleefully cropped out for you to see!......

Tomorrow, ESPN will take a break determining whether Tom Brady is more Now than LeBron is and feature a town hall type thingy in San Francisco on the issue of Barry Bonds and the Hallowed Record. Despite ESPN's increasing descent into annoying shtick and hype, this should be pretty interesting as it's being hosted by "Outside the Lines" host Bob Ley, one of the few ESPN "personalities" with any integrity left. It's supposed to be a discussion on all things Barry, including race, Bud Selig's complicitness in the mess, how tainted the record is, and a whole bunch of other things. The panel will feature a bunch of writers including ESPN's excellent Buster Olney and "Game of Shadows" Lance Williams as well as Barry's ex teammates Kirk Rueter and Ellis Burks as well as Dusty. Jeff Kent will not be participating. ...

But a few chips of yellow paint remain of Gmzeeo (OK, fine -- "Amaze.") Alas. Hooray for many; sob for a very few. Image by SFist Jim.......

We were so relieved when we ran into SFist Jim yesterday at the SF Symphony Dolores Park concert, because we knew his pictures would be so much better than ours! (His gorgeous shot is above; all we had on our camera were some blurry pictures of dog butts.) It was a gorgeous day and the section of Dolores Park in the nook by 20th Street was comfortably filled with sweet toddlers, well-behaved dogs, and......

Today's news in refuse: Over in the East Bay, the city of Oakland's filed suit against Waste Management, the garbage company that's locked out the local workers for 11 days now, and is letting trash pile up all over Alameda County. The city wants a 90-day cooldown period where the union workers can work and they can talk about the contract; the company says they've already hired new people and everything is fine. Meanwhile, the......

What with all the Ed Jew Borderline and guy taking off his nose business at our city's seat of government, we almost missed some interesting news about the Market/Octavia onramp of bicyclist injury! The Board of Supes has authorized local transit people to put in a raised median strip at the rightmost lane at the intersection, to discourage people from illegally turning onto the highway. We're not absolutely positive that's going to solve the problem......

It's been awhile since we had some Ed Jew news! Lying low, huh? So we stopped by edjew.net today to check out the reports about the District 4 supervisor's legal defense fund. Sure enough, there it is! You'll be pleased to hear that even if you maxed out your contributions to Ed during the District 4 race, you can still donate up to $100 more for "post-election legal proceedings," and if you've never given......

SFist Jim stopped by today's rally to support Gavin Newsom's crusade against bottled water, and reported turnout was a little low. They handed out some promotional material about why tap water is better for everyone, which you can read here.......

In flipping through today's Examiner, SFist Jim snapped a picture of this picture, underneath the article about the Newsom-Daly drug use fight. We recognize Gavin Newsom, sure, but who's that other guy? That doesn't look like Chris Daly at all!......

Mayor Gavvy-Gav's finally gotten through the City Attorney's report about Ed Jew, and he's none too happy about it! This is cutting into Jennifer Siebel cuddle time! Newsom told the Chron that Tapioca Ed better cowboy up on these residency questions if he wants to stay in office, challenging Ed to "prove it," characterizing the City Attorney papers as "very damning" and "quite condemning," and calling the evidence that Jew doesn't live in San......

What's Ed Jew doing today, now that he's been excused from jury duty? This has got to be the first time anyone's been trying to get San Francisco jury duty, ever. --The Chron's got the news on the City Attorney's quo warranto petition. Among the tidbits revealed: Ed Jew's wife has been taking a deduction on the Burlingame house as her primary residency for San Mateo County tax purposes -- and, hey, remember how......

Hey, did you hear? City Attorney Dennis Herrera referred Ed Jew's case to the State Attorney General (Jerry Brown) for disciplinary action (.pdf). One of Jew's three lawyers is hoppin' mad. The picture's from SFMike and the two sound clips (30 seconds apiece) are from SFist Jim. Thanks, guys! powered by ODEO powered by ODEO What we're even more excited about, though, is the following Tapioca Ed sighting we received word of, from a reader......

Here's a weird tale of yet another car-on-bike hit-and-run at perennial danger spot Octavia and Market, off ABC 7. (More details at CBS 5 too, plus a video clip.) Last night, around 11 p.m., a car coming off the freeway making the now-standard illegal right turn onto the Octavia Street freeway ramp hit a biker. [edit per CBS 5 story.] Alas, that's not the weird part. So the driver was about halfway up the onramp......

Good thing we've got so many awesome Ed Jew rally pictures from last week -- so we can keep you up to date on the latest on Tapioca Ed! --Matier and Ross report that it looks like everyone's going to punt to Jerry Brown to make the final decision about whether to throw Ed Jew out of office or not over the residency issue. Update!: City Attorney Dennis Herrera has punted. Hike! --Meanwhile, Leah Garchik......

You guys are THE BEST. Thanks for all the great pictures of today's Ed Jew rally outside City Hall! We can't find any coverage of it online yet, but your reports to us say that it was a media circus, and moderately-well-attended by pro Ed Jew folks. Joe O'Donoghue seems to have gotten over his whole "pregnancy brain" thing with Amy Lee enough to give a stemwinder of a speech, accusing various other elected......

--Michael Moore loves Gavin Newsom. --SFMike reports back on yesterday's Newsom rally. So does Beyond Chron and the Examiner. --Grizzly bears get a new home at the zoo. --Meet the new SF school board superintendant. --A provocative name for a gay party on June 1 draws complaints. --BART doesn't have the money to increase service times after all. (Update! They're going to do it anyways!) Meanwhile, lower gas prices can't last. Picture by SFist......

Check out how awesome SFist Jim's pictures of today's Frog Prog Con are, without all of our tedious snark getting in the way of your enjoyment! After the jump: More of SFist Jim's keen eye, plus Josh Wolf and the DPT.......

In the taunting words of non-progressive Pat Murphy: do it, Lumpy! We stopped by the Progressive Convention where basically, on a schedule running about 90 minutes behind, everyone who's anyone in local politics stopped by and, after some exciting build-up in the form of a campaign speech by Ross Mirkarimi..... -- no one ended up deciding to run against Gavin Newsom. As Calitics puts it: Exasperating. Afterwards, a fellow blogger irritatedly reported that he had......

Esther Hwang picked a bad day for a press conference -- normally, the media would be all over the former Willie Brown secretary turned cheesecake model turned San Francisco Law School student discussing the $1 million lawsuit she's filed against the SFPD for alleged brutality against her outside a North Beach bar -- but with everyone distracted by Ed Jew's flight from the law, Carole Migden's cancer-related bad driving, and in a city that now......

SFist Jim is going to kill us, since he sent us these pictures on the promise that we'd write something up about the panel that Sen. Leland Yee (above) and Assessor Phil Ting appeared on the other day about the dangers of foreclosure and predatory loans -- but we just think this picture is awesome. Whatever happened to that website "Are You Kidding Mee," that was devoted solely to the various scrapes that Leland......

Because nothing brightens the day like dogs in bunny ears. Photo by SFist Jim......
