Did you know that the "North of Market Holiday Celebration" is coming up? Neither did we! And neither did the rest of the internet, because there's no mention of the (possibly-fictitious) event anywhere else online. What could it possibly be? We simply couldn't find any information or imagery related to the damn thing; and that's why we decided to run this totally-unrelated picture from a few weeks ago. Anyway, Muni claims that they'll be closing......

The airtight smiles. Awesome. For those of you somehow not tempted into becoming a part of Van Santian art -- or, you know, if you sport a vagina -- might we suggest catching round II of the Leno vs. Migden smackdown? Sponsored by the Harvey Milk Club, this meeting is sure to ruffle a few plumes and have local politicos affectedly scratching their chins for days to come. That's right, kids, it's on. It is......

If we weren't inclined to agree we could always post our own review on Burritophile--that's the point. Burritophile offers a good, expanding mix of reviews from site staff as well as anyone else who cares to give an opinion....

From the genius who popularized the Hummer came two separate gubernatorial bitch slaps yesterday: first, he vetoed AB 866, which would have added "sexual orientation" to attributes (such as age or race) in a voluntary pledge that allows politicians the option of stating that they won't permit appeals based on negative stereotypes in their political campaigns. Despite having successfully existed for some time, the pledge was declared by Arnold to be "unenforceable" (um, yes,......
