An event will be held today in yet another effort to Free Josh Wolf. Wolf, of course, is the video blogger/journalist being held in jail for contempt of court for not releasing the hottest video out there that doesn't involve a celebrity having sex with somebody else. And thank God for that but we'd love to see the alleged video of Britney and K-Fed playing chess. ...

The -ists this week had politics on the brain. And what goes better with politics? Partying-- that's two great tastes in one. Oh, and Kevin Federline...can't forget about Kevin Federline. That's three great tastes in one. -Bostonist discussed two big state issues-- what sort of math constitutes a marriage and what kind of alcohol can be sold in most grocery stores. And the politically minded Curt Schilling went on "Jeopardy!". ...

Yesterday's statement from our 49ers that they were cutting out of negotiations with the city of San Francisco and focussing on a stadium site in Santa Clara smashed the joy out of a day of wonderful election results like a chunk of blue ice taking out my windshield. Hell, we'd even voted K-Fed out of our lives! And then this?! Our capable and attractive SFist Editor Jon has been all over this story like Sara......

Got unending war? Sorry to start the round up on such a downer, especially as so many in San Francisco did a lot this weekend to try and stop it. As always, Civic Center does an amazing job as a citizen journalist, something Oona Robertson can definitely appreciate. We're thinking of signing her up as SFist's youngest correspondent. Special thanks to Comedy Notebook for defusing our snark so that now we at the roundup......

Our fevered dreams of watching Barry Bonds hitting the game-winning home run against the Dominicans in the World Baseball Classic as fireworks explode below soaring eagles, all to the strains of "God Bless the U.S.A" will sadly go unrealized as Barry has announced that he has dropped out of playing in the WBC. On his Web site, the Barry claims that with his knees being what they are, it would be in the best interests of his "family, the Giants, and our fans that I sit the WBC out." And yes, apparently he let the world know not the customary way of calling everyone up-- like Bud Selig or the people running Team USA-- but instead by letting them know by posting on his blog. Hey, how else is he going to get people to go to his Web site? It's either this way or saying he's got the Britney/K-Fed sex tape. ...

Who knew beer and keyboards don't mix? Making her case for membership, Beth Spotswood tells the world that Chandler Bing was sh*tfaced at Otis. With scoops like that, we'll see what we can do to get you in. Speaking of scoops, the Gavster was totally right -- Tucker, Chan and Ratner to make Rush Hour III. And thanks to all the hard work covering the Federline-Spears romance from K-Fed's hometown in the 'No, Jarah......

In light of that big hullabaloo that's going down in D.C. tomorrow, something SFist is trying as hard as possible not to think about (we prefer the hand over the ears and shouting "la-la-la" as loud as possible method), we have something that just might take your minds off of it -- according to news reports in England, Britney has been shopping at maternity stores and telling all the people there that she's nine months......
