We Read The Weeklies

ebx719.jpgLast week's winner, the East Bay Express. The man who invented the suction-cup Garfield was defrauded by a friend. A civilly-disobedient city of Walnut Creek refuses to sign a California state loyalty oath, and can't get paid. Cover article: Michael Savage. The title "Savage Hate" is pretty good. Cat show this weekend. SF Jewish Film Fest. I Like Eating satisfies as always, at the second brewpub in California, and the new food critic checks out new restaurant 900 Grayson that's gotten its evening hours permit tied up in Berkeley city politics. Dave Grohl played an unfortunately-named "a-foo-stic" set last week. And Dan, not Michael, Savage tries advising people to enter marital counseling for a change.

Next, the Bay Guardian: Before we start -- we can't find links for all of these articles -- SFBG, maybe you guys could put everything in the print pub on the front page of the redesigned web page? Chris Daly's housing plans don't remove the profit incentive for homebuilders, but only reduce it from 28% to 10-15%. The SF health care also isn't as bad as everyone says it is too. The Guardian links to the same SFPartyParty picture of Gavin Newsom that we did! Disney comes to the Presidio. Annalee Newitz covers a totally fascinating intra-Harry Potter fan fiction fight. Odds on the season 3 Project Runway contestants. Our money's on the Barbie doll designer to win. Erase Errata, and whatever happened to all those all-female bands? SF Jewish Film Fest. The sex columnist had twins, congrats! And SFist Eve's horoscope: will a team of fairies descend from the sky for her? You never know!

After the jump: the SF Weekly, the Metro, and the Weekly of the Week.

The SF Weekly: Hey, their cover article is the exact same Michael Savage article they ran in the EBX! If one of you entrepeneurial readers is so inclined, if you want to read both of them and tell us in the comments what if any differences appear, we'd be totally impressed. An excitingly-angry letter upset about last week's "are protests boring" article. "Too bad your sh***y little 'reporter' is bored! Ask me if I give a good godd**m about that." Angry! Matt Smith -- did you know there might be steroids in baseball? Gasp! A knitting anti-war art installation, and Karen Zuercher doesn't like the new SFGate blog the Poop. Aw, we don't mind the Poop: Peter Hartlaub's hysteria at the lion eating the rabbit at the zoo was pretty awesome. Clerks II blows. Meredith takes some of SFist Ced's criticism to heart (Look at those excellent pictures of victory on Ced's blog too!) -- or does she??? And the Bouncer is horny.

And the Metro: Gary Singh wants to know why San Francisco Magazine hates San Jose. Cover article: if you're ever incorrectly named as the father of a child, you should show up in court within 6 months and contest it, or just look how badly things might turn out. The Fly says a Starbucks is opening in the SJ City Hall, and the downtown movie theater refused to let pro electric car people hand out information at the opening of Who Killed the Electric Car. Bloggers sometimes have bad taste in movies. Learn more about SJ's Mumlers, who won the Bleeding Edge Festival national competition. And a theater show called The PornoZombies. We don't know anything about it, but we like it!

Weekly of the Week: Well, both the SF Weekly and the EBX are out of contention, for running the same article. It's a close call, between the beleaguered not-dads who didn't realize they had to go to court or the decline of all-female bands -- and since both the Metro and the SFBG have Annalee Newitz's column, that factor cancels itself out. Well, we flipped a coin and got tails -- so the Metro wins. Yay Metro!
