Do you have any information? A Fremont family is trying to get some answers about the circumstances of their father's mysterious death. The father suffered a heart attack at Van Ness and Market on June 5, and died five days later without ever regaining consciousness. The mystery is that they cannot find the car their father drove into the city that day. They have a garage parking ticket they found in his pocket, but it......

Sharks 2 Blues 0- the Sharks good early run continues on as they shut out the St. Louis Blues. It's their second shutout in a row and their third straight win. It's also their third win in five of its past six games and nine of its past eleven games. Not too shabby. ...

Boom! The San Jose federal building was evacuated for three hours yesterday afternoon after a federal employee found a suspicious-looking backpack-like object outside the building near South First Street with a note on it that said "boom." The bomb squad detonated the bag, which contained a metal box that made a loud crack (audio of the crack! Go Merc News!) heard through downtown. After an almost two-day search, firefighters finally found the body of a......

The San Jose Mercury News is reporting that local hip-hop station Wild 94.9's hired a new radio producer for their morning show, Rick Delgado. Who's Delgado? Well, he's the guy who produced and aired the song mocking the tsunami victims for NYC's Hot 97. (The link has the lyrics -- they're not very pleasant.) Why's a genius like that looking for a job out here in the Yay Area? Well, he got the Hot 97 morning show suspended, and then he got fired. So naturally, Wild 94.9 snapped him up. They call him "a major talent" in morning radio, and Delgado explains away the tsunami song as "a matter of bad taste, like a blonde joke." Oh, okay. Delgado's other claim to fame is that he produced the WNEW 102.7 Opie and Anthony morning segment of that couple having sex in New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral -- where the male partner then mysteriously died about six months later. (Don't mess with God!) WILD 94.9 says they'll be "closely monitoring" Delgado's shows. Better hope so. ...

"Takin' it to the streets, takin' it to the streets" by the Doobie Brothers played in the background as the governor confidently strode into a residential San Jose neighborhood to pave a pothole and attempt to get some positive press for his plans to use the new money he found in the budget for transportation. Well, it doesn't seem to have worked. The San Jose Mercury News's coverage appears to be limited to commentary that the governor shouldn't wear white pants if he's going to be working with hot asphalt and tar. And the Chron did some digging of its own and found out: 1) DPT specifically dug a pothole earlier in an otherwise-well-graded street that morning so the governor could have something to fix (though "there was a crack" there before); 2) as one resident put it, "For paving the street, that's a lot of lighting," as the gov's crews set up klieg lights on the block; 3) the governor is billing the city of San Jose for the trouble he caused; and 4) despite the governor's best efforts to avoid protestors, they found him anyways, and started taunting the special election. Poll numbers for the special election are at 62% against, and over 10,000 people showed up yesterday in Sacramento to protest the governor's policies. Here's the rest of the Doobie Brothers' lyrics: Take this message to my brother You will find him everywhere Wherever people live together Tied in poverty’s despair You, telling me the things you’re gonna do for me I ain’t blind and I don’t like what I think I see.

Breaking news! Breaking news! OMFG, breaking news!! They figured out whose finger was in the chili! The San Jose cops announced that they've positively identified the finger that Anna Ayala found in her Wendy's chili as the finger of a person who knows her husband. That person lost the finger in an industrial accident last December. As the cops said, "The jig is up." Ayala and her husband, Jaime Plascencia -- so busted. In other news, Wendy's is giving out free frosties across the country all weekend, in order to cash in on their non-culpability in the whole debacle. We do love a Frosty. ...

SFist is covering Cinequest. Go see movies! Real ones!...

The Weekly of the Week winner for two weeks in a row, the SF Weekly! (Okay, that sentence had too many occurrences of the word "week" in it, and we apologize for that.) Matt Smith reveals that Jake McGoldrick and Chris Daly engaged in some sizzling-hott male-male hugging action and made up over that whole tsunami fight thing. Awww. (Also, complicated workings about the Mission Housing Development -- we have absolutely no idea what he's talking about but it sounds serious!) ... and hey! Matt stole our "Daly Show" title for his article!! Cover article: Harmon Leon infiltrates with white supremacists. We sincerely hope they're paying Harmon lots of money to do this column because well, not only would it not be fun to have to listen to that kind of talk, Harmon also had to hang out with the white supremacists at Applebee's. (On the bright side, we do love those Applebee's chicken fingers.) We're now too freaked out to enjoy the rest of this issue -- even Nate's excellent Noise Pop 2005 otherwise excellent board game. And Savage Love: what to do about barebackers? The San Jose Metro. Activists monitoring police brutality in San Jose (it sure does seem like a lot of people get shot by the cops down there). Cover article: an online anti-porn group. Friend of SFist and Bitch Magazine editor Andi Zeisler is interviewed! The San Jose Cinequest Film Festival. Sausage (at a deli, you sickos) in Santa Clara. And a poetry slam in San Jose. The East Bay Express's part 2 on earthquakes (BART will liquefy!), the Guardian on Noise Pop, and our gold-plated Weekly of the Week award, after the jump....
