Week in SFist

SFist Mary-Lynn gives us all the lowdown on Blogher, and SFist Rain gets the 'get' with Paula Kamen.

There are places you can go for unverified rumors, anonymous vitriol and mysteriously funded local political news -- but only SFist offers you the vain popularity contests that you crave! Speaking of cravings, SFist Derrick shows us that money can't buy you good taste.

The Office of the Ombudsman is closed until fall, but he leaves us with plenty to think about. We're sure he would have gotten on our case if we'd callously called bulls**t on this bomb threat too early, but hey, we went with our gut instinct and we weren't wrong.

Hey, that whole Israel-Palestine thing is pretty complicated -- somebody tell the screamers on either side of the zionism question at the next protest. And remember, California Cuisine's French traditions came carrying flavors from both directions -- east and west.

Steve Jones has it out for "writing that tries to dazzle with wit and attitude rather than convey information" -- thankfully, he hadn't read SFist before he agreed to an interview. Umm, how 'bout them A's!
