Buried as it will be in the Christmas weekend news cycle, Vice President Joe Biden showed up on Good Morning America and said that legalizing gay marriage was "inevitable," and that the same thing was happening with national attitudes toward the issue as has happened with gays in the military. Biden's statements come after President Obama hinted that his views on gay marriage are "evolving." Is this just pandering to the gay voter base who have, up until now, been getting pretty soured by being ignored by the Administration? Time will tell. more ›

Prefacing Obama's arrival on Thursday, Vice President Joe Biden will be in town tonight to support Barbara Boxer. BCN (via SF Appeal) reports, "Tonight's event is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Boxer's campaign declined to disclose the location." (Pac Heights mansion, we presume?) Boxer has a small lead against disgraced former HP-CEO Carly Fiorina. (Also, you might want to rethink taking Third Street home tonight, commuters. With the Giants game and the VP arrival, the street is sure to be a mess.) [SF Appeal] more ›

Wondering what all of that security in SF was for on Saturday? Well, Vice President Joe Biden was in town, showing face at a private party. (Matt Baume has footage of his royal arrival right here.) See, Biden "swung by Pacific Heights Saturday, speaking at a $5,000-a-plate fund-raiser for U.S. Sen Barbara Boer's re-election campaign," reports SFGate. The Democrat from the Bay Area is hoping to win her third term, running against former HP CEO, breast cancer survivor, and retail-vendor-to-Iran Carly Fiorina. In related vice presidential news, Vanity Fair journalist and future Playgirl model Levi Johnston claims that crazy Alaskan Sarah Palin referred to her son Trig as "my little Down's baby" and "the retarded baby." Oh Sarah, how we've missed you. more ›

Yesterday, presidential hopeful Joe Biden released details of his plan for the health care system, and coincidentally, we spotted this sign in an area of San Francisco that our 2001 Muni map calls "Apparel City." more ›

Bank of America customers, you can flash your ATM card or credit card and you and a guest get into a bunch of local museums for free, free, free!

Offer applies to the SFMOMA, the Asian Art Museum, the California Academy of Sciences, the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Dede's DeYoung, and the Legion of Honor. We've been meaning to check out the Picasso show at the SFMOMA and now we've got no excuse! more ›
