The Chron has the goods on Mr. Jew's lawyers' 138-page response to City Attorney Dennis Herrera's initiation of proceedings to remove Mr. Jew from his board of supes post. In a nutshell, Tapioca Ed's team is claiming that he kept part-time residence in his Sunset house, and slept there with "increasing frequency." ...

Yay! Tapioca Ed's back! Puckish commenter KWillets passes along this picture, from yesterday's Ed Jew Open House in District 4. Originally posted on Craigslist, it's somehow gotten included on Ed Jew's own webpage. KWillets has done everything on our Oh No, Ed Jew! coverage -- coming up with the name Tapioca Ed, dreaming up the LOLJEW pictures... we're just going to let KWillets cover the Ed Jew beat from here on out! Thanks, KWillets!......

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......

We feel kind of bad posting this, because we really do love Cathay Pacific (comfy seats, good service, decent food, and they also sponsored the Asian-American and the SF Int'l Film Fests), but news is news: they had a plane stuck for seven hours at SFO Tuesday morning. The flight, with 400 passengers aboard, boarded around midnight, and was scheduled to take off for Hong Kong at 1:20 a.m., but ended up sitting on the......

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......

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......

Man, we're bummed the Chron still hasn't put back up the pictures of the Canton Flower Shop and their stymied attempts to inspect the legendary shower in the back -- but we do have a new Matier and Ross column to summarize from the Tapioca Ed perspective: we call it M&R and Everyone We Know. --First up -- Ed Jew himself: M&R repeat what faithful SFist readers recalled earlier this week: DA Kamala Harris......

Quick, what was yesterday? Besides a lovely day -- it was also the deadline for Ed Jew to respond to the City Attorney with additional documentation of his residency. Did he do it? No! Jew failed to produce any of the requested documents, and also refused to submit to an in-person interview. His attorney, Steve Gruel, says it's because any statements he gives could be used against him in the criminal proceedings. Wasn't that true......

More LOLJEW pictures!!! Ha ha ha ha!!! Keep 'em coming, folks -- keep 'em coming! More of these fine LOLJEWs at The Sweet Melissa. WUR AT ZWEET MELIZA, LAFFING AT JOO!

Prerequisites for this job include: running water, garbage pickup service, a cable bill. --There's two......

And the hits keep on coming! The Chron reports that when they stopped by Ed Jew's City Hall office yesterday, some wag had taped a "Gone Fishing" sign to the door. Fish do love tapioca, we hear. Meanwhile, Peskin really thinks Tapioca Ed needs to go: "This is a stain and it's making the operation of government very difficult. I'm worried that the residents of the Sunset are being denied an effective voice at City......

It's the Ed Jew San Francisco calendar for 2007! We want the Burlingame one too. Thanks to reader Jake for sending it along -- we may use the back cover for the Day Around The Bay post we're going to write up next. The Chron's gotten a copy of the 44 page affidavit that the DA investigator filed in support of arresting Ed Jew, and, wow, it does not look good: --Okay, to start......

Keep those LOLJEW pictures coming! We can't get enough! What's the latest? Poor Tapioca Ed! His legislative aide Barbara Meskunas spoke to the media this afternoon to let them know that her boss took the day off work and was "explaining the tragedy to his family." What's he got to explain? Don't they already know they don't live in San Francisco? How's Ed doing? "As well as can be expected," Meskunas sighed. She added, "It's......

Nothing too new to report on the Ed Jew got arrested front this morning, but the Chron did survey all the other Board of Supervisor members for their reactions. Let's go in order! --District 1 (Jake McG): "The appearance is so bad, we don't need a trial." --District 2 (Michela Alioto-Pier): Considers Jew a friend, "Let's remember he's not been found guilty of anything." --District 3 (Aaron Peskin): "If I was in his place, I......

Before we launch into today's Ed Jew news, we just want to say -- have you guys seen this awesome debate on the political chatboard the Wall about whether our use of the term "Tapioca Ed" is racist towards Asian-Americans? Here's the line we love! "Instead of leveraging a bull*** website on what's offensive, why don't you ask someone Asian American?" Let's! Okay, onto the latest! Tapioca Ed's had enough! His lawyer, Steven Gruel, has......

The City Attorney's gone through all the residency documents that beleaguered Burlingame boy and erstwhile supposed San Francisco Supervisor Ed Jew provided last week, and ---- baaaaaaaaahmp -- (that's supposed to be a buzzer sound like when you guess something that's not on the board on Family Feud): the City Attorney has concluded that the documents currently on file are insufficient to demonstrate that Ed Jew lives in San Francisco. Oh no, Ed Jew! Namely,......

The entries are coming in fast and furious on the Photoshop Frank Chu's Sign challenge! Here's our top two so far -- send yours in too! And while we have you here, we might as well give you some news updates too. Oh No, Ed Jew!: Turns out the money that the Quicklys paid off to Tapioca Ed was marked bills from the FBI. The whole money swap was probably bugged too. MOOOOOM!: Apparently......

Remember yesterday, when Supervisor Ed Jew told the city attorney that the reason why his water bills were so low at his purported house in the Sunset because he showered at his flower shop, and we said we wanted to see the water bills for the store? Well, lookee here! The Bay Guardian's gone and done it -- and there is no running water in the flower shop. NO!!!! Well, to be precise, the flower......

Yes, we know, we know, we made that exact same joke about the Recall Jake McGoldrick movement underway in District 1 -- we're going to keep making this joke until people stop trying to recall elected officials. We do not need more things on the ballot. The Examiner confirms the reports we'd been hearing that someone's decided to start a recall campaign against District 3 Supervisor (and Board of Supes president) Aaron Peskin. So according......

Tapioca Ed Jew's made public the statement he provided to the SF City Attorney in response to their request that he submit paperwork demonstrating his residence in District 4, the district he's supposed to be representing on the Board of Supes. Ed Jew's latest excuse for the low water levels in his District 4 house? He showers at the family flower shop. Also, he works very, very late at City Hall. Weeeeeeelllllll.... and also, he......

First of all, a big sloppy THANKS! to SFist MattyMatt for yesterday evening's Oh No Ed Jew news update! We were out. So what's the latest on Tapioca Ed for today? Well, he did make it to the Board of Supes meeting yesterday, where he said he wouldn't resign and refused to take any other questions unless they were about his trip to China. At the meeting, Jew was the only person who voted against......

Ed Jew! How we've missed you. After getting back from China, the first thing Tapioca Ed did was give only Chinese-speaking members of the media a tour of the place he calls his Sunset home. Man, our relatives were right that we would regret not having gone to Chinese school as a child. Thank goodness the Chron got those pieces translated! The Chinese newspaper Sing Tao reported that the Sunset house appeared "sparsely decorated and......

The Chronicle called Ed Jew's office today, and his legislative aide Barbara Meskunas said he wasn't in because he was sleeping. Jet lag, you know. According to the Chron, Tapioca Ed, did, however, have the time to pen an essay for the Sunset Beacon (which has not yet put Jew's essay online, but you can read last month's), in which he says he wants to "clear the air" about the allegations. In the essay, he......

It's time for fun again! ABC 7 is reporting that District 4 Supervisor Ed Jew is back from his trip to China. Is he staying in Burlingame or District 4 tonight? To recap where we are: Tapioca Ed has said all along he had timed his trip so he could make this Tuesday's Board of Supes meeting. He's got until Friday June 8 to provide paperwork demonstrating to the City Attorney that he lives......

Guess where we went for dinner last night? That's right -- we went with friends to support our local public corruption whistleblowers, the fast food bubble tea and salty fried foods empire of Quickly. And of course, we had to go to one of the Quicklys in Tapioca Ed Jew's district! (there's two -- this one on Irving and 22nd, and another on Taraval. Extra bonus: check out that last picture at the link......

Yay, Tapioca Ed! We're counting down the days until he's scheduled to get back! (5 days to go.) Today's Chronicle runs a story about how Ed Jew's travails have been covered in the Chinese-language local media. Man, we are sorry we didn't study the characters harder in our Mandarin Chinese classes (which -- fame whore alert!! -- we took with a certain elected Newsom city official) because their coverage sounds awesome. The World Journal reports......

You know, maybe Tapioca Ed wouldn't have problems with fire if he had running water. Bobagate heats up -- literally! Matier and Ross report today on some issues regarding yet another house that Ed Jew owns. Ed Jew owns so many houses he didn't even report this one to the Board of Supes! (By the way, who owns this much property in San Francisco? If he were playing Monopoly, Ed could put up a little......

Even when Tapioca Ed's out of the country, the news keeps popping up! Here's today's latest Bobagate news. --So you know what that $40,000 would've bought the Quicklys? A letter from Ed Jew to the Planning Commission to get a business permit, the Examiner says. The Quicklys' rival bubble tea shop Wonderful got a letter from Tapioca Ed and a permit shortly afterwards -- and adding insult to injury, Wonderful didn't have to pony up......

The Examiner's on Bobagate! They've now found out Ed Jew, through his father, rents a building to a pot club, at 1545 Ocean. Hope those cannabis users have water. Look at all these properties the Jew family owns too! 13 in San Francisco, 1 in Burlingame, and 4 in Arizona. Arizona? Is he running for supervisor there too? In other property-related news, it turns out Tapioca Ed has also evicted an African immigrant couple's hot......
