(Believe us, you do not want to fuck with her when it comes to this, for lack of a better word, crap.) But let's throw this out for shits and giggles, shall we? </p>

<p>We receive a lot of whimsical emails here at SFist HQ. Take, for example, this one from an anonymous reader:</p>

<p><strong>"Gavin's New Girlfriend ... do you know who she is yet?"</strong></p>

<p>We're most certain that Newson is spooning her as we type this sentence. But if we had to guess who that new kind of girl was? <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/sfgate/detail?blogid=3&amp;entry_id=22290">Beth Spotswood</a>, of course. Any suggestions?<br>

According to <a href="http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com/rea/news/story?id=50693&amp;src=rss">Renewable Energy Access</a>, yesterday our dear Mayor implemented a new program that will collect fats, oil, and grease from the city restaurants free of charge.Why? So that they can be to turn into biofuel to power city-owned vehicles. The program is called <a href="http://www.sfgreasecycle.org/">SFGreasecycle</a>. Ew. But: awesome.</p>

<p>Said fat and oil, when poured down the drain, "solidifies into thick layers inside drainpipes and sewer pipes, constricting water flow the way cholesterol affects blood flow in arteries." Although we recommend finer establishments holding onto their duck and bacon fats, this is a brilliant idea. Period. And local restaurants can sign-up for free service right <a href="http://www.sfgreasecycle.org/fse_comm_signup.shtml">here</a>. So...do it now. We said now!<br>

And you know what? Good for you, Mayor man.</p>

<p>No, really, this whole <em>Gavin Goes to Hawaii</em> mêlée...isn't. So what? He went to Hawaii after a big ol' election. What difference would have ideally occurred if he was physically present within the 7-by-7 mile confine of San Francisco last Friday and Saturday? Sure, even we <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/11/13/newsom.php">freaked out about his absence</a>, but looking back it was a knee-jerk reaction. Sort of in the way that you want your daddy after having a scary, scary nightmare, only to realize he's on a business trip--that's all it was.</p>

<p>And he's right: technology is available for him to be in two places at the same time. (Ah, the genius that is the telephone.) Whatever. Oil-spill devastation aside, no harm done on your part, Gav. <br>

<p>Seeing as how it's re-election time, we wish that there were more creative(ish) posters like this plastered around the city.

<p>Since its launch in April, <a href="http://www.sfgov.org/sf311">311</a> helps SF residents bypass "over 2,300 telephone numbers that existed previously to access city services...[and] reduces calls to the City’s 911 center, where over 50% of calls received are for non-emergency services." (Really? Like, "Hi, I just called to chat, is all" or "I just saw Loni Anderson over on Chestnut!" kind of non-emergency calls? Because there should be an eleven-number just for those. That would be awesome.)</p>

<p>And what was the one millionth call concerning? A report of <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/10/24/BAG4FSVA9Q.DTL&amp;feed=rss.bayarea">upturned newspaper racks</a> at Geary and Kearny.

<p>Why? We're not sure. Do we still believe in true love? Not at all. Do we secretly want Newsom to collaborate with Siebel's pal, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001879/">Daphne Zuniga</a>, thus the far-off chance of having a <em>Melrose Place</em> alum as SF's first lady? Oh God, yes.</p>

<p>Jennifer, we suggest a few <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_shot">body shots</a> followed by an Ambien chaser to help get over the pain. Turn that frown upside down, kiddo.</p>

Almost all of the usual and self-consciously zany suspects are in there: Kenny the Clown (Kenneth Kahn), Chicken John (who, for some reason, I will always confuse with <em>Big Brother</em>'s <a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother7/guests/george/">Chicken George</a> [which, by the way, is so good this season!]), and almost the rest of the wacy gaggle. Interestingly enough, there’s no mention of <a href="http://www.thepassionofthechrist.com/">journalistic martyr</a> Josh Wolf, which we found bizarre.</p>

<p>Basically, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/us/12mayor.html?_r=1&amp;ref=us&amp;oref=slogin">McKinley</a> points out that no "major contender" is going for Newsom's jugular this time around (a la Matt Gonzalez) -- even spot-on Chris Daly admits this as a “very difficult campaign” -- and that, of course, Newsom will be our mayor for four more years. Probably. </p>

<p>But you knew that already.</p>

Granted the image is old and last-year, but here's Gavin's tongue (which is fresh and tasty, we're sure), in case you’ve been kept up at nights wondering about its shape, size, and color. Lord knows we’ve often pondered this man’s appendages, and may She forgive us for doing so.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[SFist Helps Gavin Get a Date]]></title><description><![CDATA[We were driving to work the other day and heard an oh-so-familiar voice on Live 105's Morning Show.

After all, if a rich, good looking, Mayor often referred to as the Future of the Democratic Party can't get a date, what hope do we have?  We're just bloggers. We've never gone against the Federal Government and let Gay people marry.  So in spirit of Gavin's new Project Connect, we decided to volunteer the best way bloggers can, by blogging something.  Or at least we've decided to help Gavin and write up his very own profile.  This way, all he has to do is cut and paste et viola, he too can be blown off on internet dating sites just like the rest of us.  And most importantly, we need our Mayor to be happy-- a happy Mayor is a good Mayor.</p>
