We Read The Weeklies
For some reason, last week's winner, the East Bay Express, was not delivered to our usual pickup spot this week, so we gotta write the summary based on the website. Cover article about Eddy Zheng, just like the Bay Guardian. Someone sues in small claims court for $7.55 (over a hair in the plaintiff's soup.) Rock meltdowns -- and speaking of which, the Dinosaur Jr. reunion tour!
Oh, SF Weekly -- your Karen Carpenter Superstar cover article reenacting the Gaverly romance with Barbie-esque dolls is too good to be true!!!!! Open up Adobe for these pics, folks, the .pdfs are worth the wait!! Tommy Craggs, you're a genius! A GENIUS!!! Additional bonus: are you an Apologist for douchebag Bob Novak? This is bullsh**! And Savage is back, about the outing of the guy who worked for Santorum (capital S, not the other kind) and the guy who had sex with a horse in Washington state. (and while we're on the political, check Savage out in his guest blogging for Andrew Sullivan!)
The horse-sex-less Guardian and the pick of the week, after the jump.
The Guardian: Tim Redmond's car was impounded when he was on vacation. The Young Democrats sell out. Cover article: infighting among the unions. The Guardian also goes to Dragonfly. SFist Jackson's article about starting your own indie business! (Who knew SFist logged our first million-page view month in June?? We gotta stop hitting refresh so often on our browser at work!) And the Lovemakers.
Pick of the week: Sorry, Jackson -- that was a nice article you wrote and all, but -- is there any question here? We've gotta give it to T. Craggs and the Weekly crew. Where did you get all those plasticine dolls, guys??? (note to Mattel: please do take into consideration that we did not use your trademarked term BARBIE in this post before sending us a mean cease and desist letter, thanks!)
