Today, Hate Hurts America (chortle) and the Interfaith Coalition announced that WalMart and AT&T either stopped advertising or now refuse to place ads on Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" program, joining a list of advertisers that have shunned the talk show host. (AutoZone, Citrix, TrustedID, JC Penney, and OfficeMax have also pulled their advertising.) Why? Because Michael Savage is a big ol;' meanie , crusher of warm fuzzies, and wisher of AIDS upon you sodomites.......

This holiday weekend we've put aside the the more common charitable activities in favor of FreeRice.com, a web-based word game that purports to feed the world's hungry. The game is simple enough: it presents a word (supposedly an English word, but we have had our doubts on occasion) and a list of four potential synonyms. Choose correctly, and ten grains of rice appear in a wooden bowl in the developing world. Three correct answers in......

Got a second? Good! Because we want to thank the advertisers on SFist this week: CNN.com, who has a surprising amount of video on their site (including one of a couple with sextuplets).

We're startled to report that Muni has, in a surprising and awesome display of openness, decided to make public a ton of information regarding their ongoing Choose-Your-Own-Shelter-Adventure. Check out the reams of dataz they've just posted online -- it's all there: facts! Figures! Feedback! And we do mean feedback. They've just posted every single public comment they received, and boy howdy did they get a lot of comments. (Profanity, you'll be relieved to hear,......

SFist! You've just come back from a three-day trip to Disneyland, what are you going to do now? We're going to watch the Superbowl! Or at least, the Superbowl commercials. Now, that bit about Disneyland isn't a joke; we did spend three days there, so maybe the post-Disneyland comedown, paired with an eight hour drive and a little sleep deprivation, has something to do with the utter disappointment we had with the commercials this year.......

KRON is in a little bit of trouble these days. Due to the fact an entire schedule of local news and Dr. Phil does not attract the biggest audience, they've been having trouble paying the bills. So instead of laying off more and more people or figuring out something that would attract a bigger audience (hint-- 24 hours of "Buffy") they went and dangled their integrity in front of the highest bidder. So that weeklong special on traveling to Australia? Sponsored by the Australian tourism board. Same with an in-depth, investigative, eleven part special on spas. ...

Hey, didja hear about SF360's upcoming website? The SF Film Society and Indiewire.com promise that the site (to be launched in March) will offer a slew of new tools for local filmmakers and audiences -- "blogs, video blogs, photo blogs, event planning, announcements, virtual production offices, project-based LANs," the SFFS's Exec Direc Graham Leggat told us, but what he said next is what really grabbed our attention: "We don't have a revenue model for this."......

--> Poor Arnie. His polls are dropping, over 10,000 people protested against him on Wednesday, and now he's in trouble for product placement in one of his ads. In a new ad, Arnie is seen talking to a bunch of people in a lunchroom and both the Pepsi and Arrowhead Water logos are prominently displayed on the drinks people are drinking. And for a few brief seconds in the ad, one can also make......

a01californa.jpg Ladies and gentlemen, the returning champ, the East Bay Express! Make your Best of the East Bay nominations now! People in Contra Costa don't appreciate public access TV. Can collectors aren't making as much money now that Oakland's giving everyone big recycling bins. Cover article: Baby boomers are making it unpleasant for other senior citizens in nursing homes. Addis Ethiopian in Oakland has new management that cooks better. Food cartoonist: Is Legendary Palace really legendary? And Savage Love: teenage boys looking for dates, meeting online buddies in real life, and someone bragging about sexual exploits. mn_protest-newsbox_bw.jpg The SF Weekly: Cover article: Music special! Though, and we hate to quibble, but we think we've seen this cover art, with the tape-embossed lettering, on the Weekly a lot recently. Maybe mix it up a little? Harmon Leon reports on the white supremacist hate mail he's gotten post-Applebees, Nate Cavalieri follows a documentary film maker making movies for advertisers. So yeah! The music special! An article about Quannum Records and SFist's very own favorite hip-hop mogul! Yay SFist Isaac! Fun blurbs about musicians' day jobs, a very detailed article on how to get signed to a record label, SuperDiamond made almost $1 million last year, what it's like to work at GuitarWorld, and a whole lot of info on Bay Area music today.

The technology sector here in the Bay Area has taken a big hit over the last few years. We all know it, even if we don't work in Silicon Valley. Restaurants struggled, retailers and advertisers lost revenue, young workers have found it harder to get entry level jobs because they've been displaced by laid-off techies, companies have been slower to upgrade their systems and hire new staff and those left have been asked to work longer hours. The ripple effect from our main regional industry have been devastating. One activist, Natasha Humphries, addressed the House Small Business Committee, telling them her story of being flown to Bangalore to train her own replacements. Unions have long salivated over the prospect of organizing tech workers - in part because of their pay, expertise and leadership potential. Also because unions in general have been on the wane since the Reagan administration, and they need a foot in the door of the information economy. But cultural differences between east and west coast, old and new industry and management and labor has hampered their efforts. Many in the industry believe that union organization and entrepeneurial spirit are in some way mutually exclusive - others, in the face of mounting layoffs, are simply scared of being pegged as a "troublemaker." Organizing strategies have included an 'open-source' approach, which would eschew collective bargaining power for a more lobbying-oriented approach to representing techies. Now, with offshoring of labor a major concern and with more and more tech companies asking longer hours and offering fewer benefits to already overworked and overqualified employees, it looks like a prime opportunity to begin organizing this sector of the economy. Efforts have been led by the Communication Workers of America, who represented the 8,000 Bay Area employees of SBC who recently went on strike. Still, labor has a long way to go before people at Apple, Palm, Google, Hewlett-Packard and Cisco have the opportunity to vote for union membership. In the meantime, state Democrats are pushing for a bill to restrict employers on state contracts from offshoring work, which Governor Schwarzenegger is likely to veto. Resolution is not expected until the state Assembly and Senate reconvene in the Fall....
