We Read The Weeklies
Last week's winner, the East Bay Express: Hey, all you people who hated the anarchists we used to use to illustrate this column -- that picture is bona fide from this week's EBX! Take it up with the Bottom Feeder! (who's covering off-leash dog owners shenanigans in S. Berkeley). Dude, it's so easy to get a fake drivers' license from the DMV. Asians poisoning other Asian semiconductor workers in Fremont. Cover article: making energy from termites. Friday night, Taiwanese protest music. (he should protest for those Fremont semiconductor workers!) A Mexican place in downtown Oakland. And a guest music columnist on New Orleans.
Next up, the Bay Guardian: Yo, people are throwing feces over the MUNI fare strike! SFist Jackson, you didn't say nothin' about that! Cover article: stories ignored by the mainstream media. Why is it always the sunshine laws in these "stories you didn't hear" articles? Also, the Guardian thinks no one is paying attention to the New Times-Village Voice merger. You know what would get that issue some more attention? More articles about it in the Guardian. Annalee Newitz sez they're monitoring our color printers! More on Fecal Face (no, not the MUNI fare striker). Local music (two more). And Sarah Han's comic From The Sidelines on getting comped for shows. That totally happens all the time!
After the jump: The Weekly and the pick of the week. The Metro didn't get delivered to our usual pickup spot this week, sorry!
The Weekly: The co-founder of the Church of Satan writes in to say that Felipe Alou is wrong and Larry Krueger is not Beelzebub's messenger. Doping in bike races, retaliation against the Kampner Hebrew Academy, left-wing Catholic theology. Hey, where's our Tommy Craggs this week? Come back, Tommy! We're sorry we said you couldn't win all the picks of the week for the Weekly last week! Meredith Brody checks out the Chowhound's Guide. Cover article: P-Funk. And Savage Love on asexuality (and his new book coming out in two weeks).
Pick of the week: It's the deposit of the week over here for the Bay Guardian!! And if the candy droppings at 16th and Mish weren't enough, the frenzied conspiracy theorizing puts 'em over the top! Your adorable paranoiac ways win our heart this week, SFBG!
