Last week's winner, the Guardian. The SF People's Organization is having a meeting this Saturday. Letters about guns in the Castro. Everything is better with strippers -- union woes, men against women, and a no-fatties proposal at the Lusty Lady. Hating on fixie bikes -- and big ups to SFist Sarah L for pointing out to us how awesomely combative the comments in response have gotten (typical comment: "My god man, do you have an editor? Just say: You can't coast on this kind of bike. Done."). We must get SFist Chris to write an anti-fixie column so we can get this kind of entertainment on our very own website! Books section: Joan Didion, still not in the best shape after her family died. Meg Tilly wrote a book? Cover article: TV mashups with Dick Cheney. Also: Pixies documentary opening at the Roxie this week. And SFist Eve's horoscope: "Your life is on fire -- grab your three most precious things and get out."

Last week's runner-up, the SF Weekly: Matt Smith about the weird lawyer for Rob Anderson, the guy trying to shut down SF bike lanes. Hey, the new post-Blink 182 band with Travis in it is coming to town next month. Are you an apologist for Chronicle sports reporters? We love the question about C.W. Nevius's blog! Ask A Track Bike is back -- unfortunately, without the same kind of vitriol seen in the Bay Guardian. Cover article: the SFPD is spying on reporters covering Fajitagate. We want Chron crime reporter Jaxon Van Derbeken's home phone number too! Book section: they actually understood the new Greil Marcus book. The not-Meredith critic goes to Bodega Bistro. And Rogue Wave drummer Pat Spurgeon needs a new kidney.

East and South Bay weeklies after the jump, along with the Weekly of the Week!

The East Bay Express: The epistolary arts are not dead -- they've just all been directed to the EBX. Truckfuls of mail about the supposed hipster invasion of Oakland, hot on the heels of the monthslong handwringing that was the Cody's Books closing! Har! Check out this excellent "email from the Raiders' inbox." (scroll all the way down). Cover article: By the Bottom Feeder, a very entertaining article about Oakland's gadfly journalist. Oakland's own Kimo Crossman! MC Mariah Mimi Carey is coming to town! Book section: books about forgiveness. Trendy food on Grand Avenue. Someone put out a fake Kool Keith CD! You kind of have to draw a diagram to understand this article but it's kind of nuts.

And the Metro: Someone compares the important work of the Metro to the Bay Guardian in the letters. Gary Singh about Herb Caen and jaywalking. Annalee railing about a cyber-PR campaign. HP is like Nixon. Cover article: Burning Man review. Japanese BBQ in W. San Jose. Green leafies other than spinach. And Straight Dope: can you get lead poisoning from South African chocolate, and why is there nonoxynol-9 in shaving cream?

Weekly of the Week: The Guardian takes it for the second week in a row, mostly because 1) articles about the Lusty Lady are always interesting and 2) they have the world's best pro-fixie-bike commenters. SFist Chris, we have got to get ourselves some of that action!
