The 'Fisties: Best News Story 2005
Man, every day in 2005 had some kind of good San Francisco Bay Area news story -- whether it was the lady who planted the finger in the Wendy's chili, Bill O'Reilly, explosions downtown, anarchist yutzes in the Mission, and nude art in bars, to pick some totally random examples we pulled from a disorganized riffling through the SFist archives search engine. How can we pick just one favorite news story for the entire year? We love them all equally!
So here's a random selection of our favorites from 2005. Did we leave out yours?
Best Daly: Our favorite post this year? The provocative interview of Chris Daly's better half, of course! In terms of awesomest actual Daly news, we gotta go with the MUNI fare hollaback. (though we're psyched he's running in 2006 too!) Man, we miss angry Daly, now that he's being all statesmanly and stuff now. Bring that beat back!
Best Gavin news: Sure, the on-again off-again with Kimbo this year has been hyster., but you know, we really gotta give it to Gavin showing up in Paris Hilton's Sidekick. So best.
Other picks after the jump!
Best Governator: So many to choose from! The angry nurses? Carnival in Rio? Getting slammed by the Stones? The best Schwarzenegger news all year, though, was the defeat of the special election. Let the frantic backpedaling begin!
Longest-running Pacific Heights saga (Gavin and Kimberly excluded): The Icer Air drama. Oh no! Would Laurie Beijan have the wedding of her dreams? Would Jonny Moseley have a happy birthday? What about the monks?
Hooray, the Political Junkie!: Thanks, everyone, for voting in the SFist Hottest Supervisor contest! Congratulations again to our reigning cham-peen, Ms. Michela Alioto-Pier!
...and Our totally favorite random 2005 news item, that gives us purpose and the strength to continue on reading random news sites throughout the day to pass them onto you, our readers: That dude who accidentally set his SUV on fire on the Bay Bridge!!!!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!
