In what's turning into a slapfight between city attorneys over civil gang injunctions, public defender Jeff Adachi recently sent a proposal over the Board of Supes that, according to the Examiner, "would give named alleged gang members priority when it comes to receiving city services, including, 'city funded economic development, employment, vocation, educational, housing, asset building, mental health, drug treatment and social service programs.' And Dennis Herrera is none too pleased.

in fact going to Japan! According to press secretary Peter Ragone (so take it with a grain of salt), Newsom is leaving tomorrow and coming back on Tuesday -- hope he'll have a chance to catch cousin Joanna Newsom's Saturday Osaka show while he's there.

So, according to the LA Times, Barack Obama spent his early college years smoking dope, listening to new wave music, and taking classes in Marxist theory and gender issues. In other words, can we vote for him yet? Just the thought that he could be the first President to have ever squatted down at the "down...down...down..." part of "Rock Lobster" makes us want to vote for him. We still, however, await the first presidential candidate who could quote from Snoop and Dre.

Because we've started the column "Who's Attacking Newsom Now!", we figure it's only right to start the counterpoint column next: Who's Defending Newsom Now!. So who's Mayor McDreamy got on his side? (beside these young ladies in the picture above, that is!):

SFist Jon's having computer woes, so we're covering all the rest of the races here too.

More art tonight!

If you read the comments on this blog closely, you'll see that we suggested that, in light of Gavin Newsom's new Matt Gonzalez-influenced coffure, the next obvious thing would be for us to find a picture of Matt Gonzalez brushing his hair like Gavin's.

(it seemed like it took forever).

The picture to your left is a still from the documentary Presumed Guilty, and profiles SF public defender Jeff Adachi when he was still an assistant public defender. Well, Adachi must have been inspired by the experience or something, because on top of his duties in criminal court, because the Chron is reporting that Adachi will be making his directorial debut at this year's Asian American Film Festival, with "The Slanted Screen," a documentary about the portrayals of Asian-American males in American movie history. Wha? Well, we suppose if the DA's really not charging anyone with crimes these days, Adachi's gotta do something to fill his time, right? (Are you sure this isn't just someone else named Jeff Adachi, guys?) At the preliminary hearing on the Pamela Vitale murder, a roommate of suspect Scott Dyleski testified that he saw a to-do list hidden in Dyleski's dresser drawer that said "knock out/kidnap, question, keep captive to confirm PIN, dirty work, dispose of evidence (cut up and bury)." Terrible. But also, can we just ask? Why do you need to write that down? Can't you just remember that on your own? And in the South Bay police blotter -- police confirm that a briefcase left outside the Fresh Choice in San Jose was not a bomb, someone in Palo Alto's guitar tuner was stolen, and someone else heard mysterious noises inside her house, ran downstairs, and found ..... (dramatic music) .... someone else's key chain on her kitchen counter! You know the would-be thief's all like, running home, pant pant pant, and then reaches into their pocket to open the door, and is like .....doh!
