-The high rate of African American being arrested in San Francisco make some call for an inquiry.
-Matier and Ross say Gavin's Chief of Staff, Steve Kawa, left due to burnout. SFist a bit suprised in that "leaving to spend more time with the family" usually means "intern problem."
-And speaking of Gavin, Gavin has hired somebody for the job of "greening director." Position is to help go out and make the streets beautiful and green and for birds to sing and rainbows to fly and for shiny unicorns to jump around 16th street.
-Think it's cold now? Wait til Monday.
-State to look into new Italian company that runs the lottery.
-Jerry McNerney, the man who took down Pombo, ready to rumble.
-Everybody's got hug fever.
-San Francisco was voted #1 most cultural city, ahead of even New York. Suck on it, New York.
-There was a power outage on the Bay Bridge early Saturday morning.
-A fire fighters who hit another firefighter is suspended. Fire chief wanted them ixnayed.
-Cops in Santa Cruz looking for somebody who impersonted cops in Santa Cruz.
-Surf's still up. Way up.

I'm surprised that you guys didn't mention the part of today's Matier & Ross column that mentioned the recent mayoral poll conducted by you guys.
You know the old expression in football they say whenever somebody scores a touchdown to "pretend like you've been there before?" That's us. Getting mentioned in the Chronicle, feh no big deal. We're too cool to go all crazy about being mentioned in Matier & Ross...
No, actually, that's FRACKING AWESOME and we totally missed it because we pretty much read everything but. Picutre us doing the happy dance of joy as we read it.
Thanks for letting us know too.
Two things I've learned about people in this city people love to talk about,MUNI and politics.
A "greening director"? I see great things in store for Newsom's future: governor or senatorship. He's a perfect Democrat: implementing policies that don't actually solve anything/make anyone actually sacrifice anything for the betterment of society. It's all easy-peasy all the time, for you. Kind of the green equivalent of Bush's response to 9-11: support our country: go to the mall and shop.
We don't need more frickin' trees. We need better public transit and a congestion tax. THAT is how you "green" a city. Not planting a bunch of damn ficus.
