-- Bonds' final, fatal backlash continues. (I wonder how he spent his day today? Ugh.) [SFGate, SF Examiner, FCJ , SFBG, The Snitch]...

We're already getting tired of this story. Can we please get back to the Ed Jew investigations? The only coverage we're enjoying is Bad Reporter's! (We're enjoying Bad Reporter's coverage very, very much, though. "No oxygen: He could die.") Here's the latest in Daly Fight 2007: --Supervisor Michela Alioto-Pier is going to reintroduce a code of conduct for behavior before the Board of Supes. You may remember she introduced a motion to censure Daly for......

SO EXCITED!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!!! SFist got in Bad Reporter today!!!!! This is totally our dream come true. When we started SFist, we would muse idealistically to SFists Eve and Jackson, "hey, wouldn't it be great if this site really does go somewhere, and we ended up in, oh, Bad Reporter one day?" And now this day is here! Honestly, we don't even know what to do with ourselves now. A tear trickles down our face!......

Update as of 10 a.m. 3/2/07: new link found in our quest to collect all the entertaining Kenneth Eng links on the Internet after the jump! This one quotes Maya Angelou! Also: why did the Chronicle's editorial page call him "Richard" Eng in the hard copy of the paper (corrected online)? At least Bad Reporter got Eng's name right. --- Okay, okay, we know we just put up a post about the Asianweek situation, but......

One day after Gavin's big My Bad moment, the big question is what does this all mean for him, the city, and his reelection bid. After all, as bad as this all sounds, politicians getting caught with their hands in the proverbial cookie jar falls into the realm of been there, done that.. Willie did it and nobody batted an eye. Guiliani did it and he's considered one of the big contenders for the Republican nomination. Gavin is still popular, the election isn't until November, and this is San Francisco and it's not like he's the only San Francisco politico who did something really stupid. But the one thing that seems to be sticking in everyone's craw, the one thing that could hurt more than anything else, is that he did this to one of his closest aides and friends. As somebody put it (we searched but couldn't find the link), this whole thing could be summed up by this eternal axiom: bros before hos. In other words, Gavin broke one of the cardinal rules of guydom....

You know we love love love love love Don Asmussen's Bad Reporter -- last week's "Crazed Republicans believe 72 virginal male pages await them in Heaven" made us spit up a little coffee on the Sudoku puzzle in the morning. So of course we immediately snapped up his very first book when we saw it on the shelf at Stacey's the other day: Dog v. Cat, an expose of the 2004 pet election that tore......

As our former co-editor Eve moves on in at the Chronicle as their Blogging and Interactive editor today, we do a little imagining about how her first day might be going! --9:30 a.m. Wander on into work. Remember to wear real clothes and not blogger pajamas. --10:00 a.m. Tour of the office Komodo dragon cage with Phil Bronstein. --10:47 a.m. Help Matier and Ross launch their new sort-of blog. "Now, how do I turn the......

Creativity Explored is an organization that fosters the artistic talents of developmentally-disabled adults, not only to provide independence and self-sufficiency to the artists but also to give the general public access to their work. They've been around for over 20 years. Creativity Explored is holding its annual benefit next Thursday, March 30, which features a silent auction of portraits of over 40 local celebrities made by their artists. That's Gavin Newsom up to your right,......

As you can probably tell, we have kind of a love/hate thing going on with the Chron over here at SFist HQ. But since it's Raves Thursday, we're highlighting the love! And you know who we love the most? No, not Jon Carroll. No, not Ken Garcia. We love Bad Reporter!!! God, we love Bad Reporter! Marry us, Don Asmussen!! Who else can monitor the state of San Francisco hair gel politics so trenchantly? Who else could draw Dick Cheney's pottymouth with such an adorable snarl of the lip? Maria Shriver's cheekbones! Gavin and Kimberly on the rug!! FROM WHAT SICK WELLSPRING DO YOUR GENIUS IDEAS ORIGINATE????? We can only stare, awed and envious, at the heights of brilliance to which Mr. Asmussen reaches on his always-changing publication schedule, and then, silently, move down the back page of Datebook to read the new Dear Abby's advice. ("Have you considered seeing a therapist?" It's always "have you considered seeing a therapist.")...

Oh, what the heck, one more time! Tongues are a-waggin' in town (and not just like that, you sick pervs) over the Gavin-x-Kim news and we're here to give you the latest gossip roundup. P.J. Corkery of the Ex reports that at "one grandee's party" (to which we were not invited?), he noticed that Gav Diddy and Kims were never seen in the same room at the same time, and someone had said, "well, they're not throwing daggers at each other." And apparently if Big G. had lost the mayor's race, he was going to move to New York and start a restaurant there. So really, it's Matt Gonzalez's fault for not running a better campaign! The KRON ran some man-on-the-Chestnut-Street interviews in the Marina the other day, where people concluded that they would be seeing more of Gavin at MatrixFillmore, "a known singles bar." (This does not appear to be online, more's the pity). We here at SFist are converging on the opinion that Gavin left Kim for Matt. But the best gossip so far is today's Bad Reporter -- who was so excited that he submitted a strip while on vacation -- hypothesizing that Gavin will be offering a "Care Not Cash" alimony package to Guilfoyle, and musing that "Gavin has a large rug to fill." He's also sponsoring a contest to have your face drawn in place of Kimberly's in a contest. We are so submitting a pic of SFist Jackson. Any gossip we're missing? Pass it along!...

You know how there's some comic strips you love (Boondocks, For Better Or For Worse), some comics you hate (we've never liked Rex Morgan, M.D.), and some comics you hate but accidentally get sucked into reading (the shining example of this is Luann)? Well, the Chron announced today they're cancelling one of the strips in that last category for us, Clear Blue Water by Karen Montague-Reyes. We personally never really warmed up to Montague-Reyes's drawing style, or the weird plotlines involving what looked like a gay superhero African-American Republican (that can't be right, can it?), but our eye did inexorably get drawn to the strip every single day (and we do kind of wonder what's going to happen to little autistic Seth). We're also a little sad that one of the rare strips drawn by a woman, and one of the rare strips drawn by a person of color about a multiracial family, is getting the axe. ...

Sort of touching on the previous post, our boy Gavin's not having the best week this week either. His tax increases lost (so MUNI fares may go up to $1.50, 300 city employees will be fired, and a homeless shelter will be closed -- you gotta kinda admire Newsom, he went on record and was like, "if you don't vote for tax increases, I'll shoot this dog," and now he's going to shoot the dog), his Board of Supervisors will continue to be divided, Bad Reporter continues to envelop him in a spoon-hug on the carpet, and now this? ...
