Prop 98? Defeated. The eminent domain reform proposition, which would have seen rent control eliminated in San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, failed to win last night. It seems that about 61 percent of voters rejected Prop. 98. Prop 99, Prop 98's counterattack? It passed. Also, redevelopment is facing a serious hangover this morning after it celebrated a victory last night. Proposition G, which will see the Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point undergo some......

While we were out perusing second home possibilities in Rincon Hill all weekend long (exhausting!), a smattering of predominately white liberal arts majors had a kick-ass party on Valencia Street this past weekend. Fun! Check it: There was ice cream, jump roping, rave couture, masks, finger paints, the destruction of a perfectly good couch, exoticizing of the Spanish language, blocking traffic, and something or other to do with Proposition 98. You know, the one about......

Before entering a voguing competition (we can only assume) to the sounds of Seal at Saturday night's Black & White Ball, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced her endorsement for Assemblyman Mark Leno. Much to no one's surprise. Poor incumbent Migden. Won't someone please show her some love?! Anyway, it looks like Leno, for better or for worse, might be voted "most popular" after tomorrow's votes are finally counted. If you recall, this......

Mark Leno and Carole Migden, please step forward....

Before you get plastered tonight, saunter over to Cafe Flore beforehand to help the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco collect signatures. In order to get the ordinance initiative on the November ballot--you remember, the initiative to have the local sewage treatment facility's name changed to the George W. Bush Sewage Plant?--the good folks at the helm of this project need a certain amount of signatures. Help them, won't you? The details are as......

SF city supervisor Chris Daly penned an open letter to the folks over at SFBG today, asking them to endorse la Migden for reelection. ...

Unless you're a major wonk, there's no need to watch the above footage in its entirety. (It's Obama prattling on endlessly about losing to Clinton in Pennsylvania, how he'll win, how some of his best friends are white trash, "yes we can," health care, change, lobbyists, unicorns, apple pony princesses, etc.) Just check out the three pieces of tail standing in the background. They're all sporting noticeable Abercrombie & Fitch designs. Barf. But as......

The backlash has started. A few are livid over Barack Obama's surreptitious statements about the poor, armed, and God-fearing that he made over at the Getty manse; others are going into hysterics over ABC's treatment of Barack Obama during the this week's debate. (Actually, some of it was inanely amusing, which, most important of all, made for fantastic television. Check out Ms. Nash McCabe of Pennsylvania [at 1:46] asking Obama if he "believes in......

During this week's Tibet rally and Olympic flame frustration, the possible future leader of the free world, Barack Obama, sneaked into San Francisco on Sunday, hitting Billionaires Row for a pricey, Getty-hosted fundraiser. Neither you nor we were invited. Alas. According to Leah Garchik: In the Haight, stencils of Barack Obama's smiling face are decorating the sidewalk. But in real life, he is turning up in more lucrative venues: The candidate will be around here......

Ever since SFist first reported on the Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco's plan to re-name the Oceanside Wastewater Treatment Facility in honor of our current POTUS, George W. Bush, it has spread--in the words of T. Wayne Pickering, chairman of the unofficial "Presidential Memorial Commission of San Francisco--like an "intestinal bug on a Carnival cruise ship." ...

SFist's dear neighbor's, Wired, came across this racially explosive internet meme on the Daily Kos, which is set to have Democrats duking it out online. According to the Daily Kos, someone in the Clinton campaign took Obama's image from this video and darkened (a la OJ Simpson gracing the covers of Time and Newsweek) for this commercial. According to the Kos: In case you needed yet another reason to despise Hillary Clinton and her......

Ralph Nader announced yesterday that he will take yet another tireless stab at the Oval Office, this time running as an Independent in the 2008 presidential election. Oh joy. Prattling on endlessly about how the Democratic and Republican candidates aren't addressing the issues, and blah blah, who cares, this will be his fifth attempt at snatching the title President of the United States of American. What with a black man, Barack Obama, in the......
