Who Reads Yesterday's Papers?

-And on a Friday when the Examiner ran stories about problems with Gavin's homeless policies and the difficulties of staying afloat in the city, the Chronicle ran an in-depth, investigate report about how the city wastes thousands, nay millions! of dollars by allowing their thirsty employees drink out of a water cooler instead of the faucet. Water coolers just don’t go on trees, people! And somewhere Phil Bronstein is busy clearing out a space on his mantle for the inevitable Pulitzer Prize this story is sure to win. The story does have a happy ending as Brita has offered to hand out filters to city employers, thus saving the city from this boondoggle of boondoggles. But still, this question has to be asked-- if employees no longer have a water cooler, where will they gather to discuss the latest episode of "Lost," "24," or "Freddie?"

-About that little homeless problem we mentioned before. It turns out that one of the places we've been apparently sending some of our homeless people to under Operation One Way Ticket Home, Humboldt, is getting a little peeved at us for it. Because the homeless people show up, go all-homeless there, and becomes their problem. So now Humboldt is all "we don't want 'em, you take 'em" and San Francisco is all "no, we don't want them, you take 'em." The problem seems to be that Humboldt is saying SF just randomly sends homeless people there without letting anyone know so there's nobody there to take care of them when they get there. SF, however, says that it only sends people back after notifying someone that they're coming home. Problem is that before the city was saying that it would only send them home if it contacted a family member, but now it's sounding like it'll send them home if it contacts pretty much anyone who answers the pay phone. In response, and after the Examiner's investigation, SF has decided to change its policy about sending homeless people to other places.
