SF Jenna plays Huey AND Riley tonight! Cuz a little culture never hurt anyone.... Aaron McGruder at the JCC: Ever crack open the morning paper to catch up on the latest exploits of Huey and Riley, adorable inner-city youths exiled to the suburbs in The Boondocks? Even if you haven't read the recently-ended comic or seen the show, you've probably heard of cartoonist Aaron McGruder and the controversy swirling around his oft-politically charged work. Swing......

We're being civic-minded tonight, which translates to giving you the scoop on election night parties. SFist Rita has already filled us in on the District 6 celebrations, though we don't know where Manuel Jimenez' shindig is happening. We hope he's not still mad at us. Music for America is hosting a big screen, non-partisan as far as District 6 is concerned, election results-watching party at 12 Galaxies (2565 Mission St. @ 22nd) with DJs.......

--The US Attorney's office is going to monitor the SF elections, like we're East Timor or Florida or something. --Courtney Love was 50 minutes late to her book signing in Corte Madera. --District 6 candidate Manuel Jimenez confirms neither confirms nor denies that he's Latino (see comments!), with a picture of his baptism. --The cops get back the discretion to press pot charges. --Stanford students don't really care about the election. --Does the Bayview need......

It's a mishmash of random news items about -- the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Odds And Ends. Okay, most of these items are about Chris Daly -- because none of you Rob Black, Matt Drake, Manuel Jimenez, or anyone else supporters are sending us items. Rob Black hasn't even bothered to update his blog since August 25. Help us help you, Everybody But Chris candidates! --Daly's bought a bunch of ginormous......

We're going to make our editor even more unhappy -- by posting about the District 6 election again! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Poll Numbers. Our editor's asked us to tone down the District 6 coverage.... but we just can't stop! The Chron's Matier and Ross today have released numbers purporting to show that Rob Black has a 6-point lead on Chris Daly, with the numbers at 37%-31%. This contrasts with one set of numbers......

It's photo-op time in the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Reader Submissions. This one's from a reader, who writes: Why does everyone hate Chris? Because he doesn't know how to dress appropriately. Why would he wear a baseball cap and t-shirt to a debate but a suit for a bike ride? Chris got all dressed up to celebrate his endorsement by the SF Bike Coalition, and it looks like they did......

It's our column about the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Numbers. The Chron's finally paying attention to the Board of Supes races -- choosing to kick off its "we profile the candidates" series with the "South American country" that we call District 6. (they call the district South American because of the great disparity between poor and rich, and not just because of the tasty Peruvian restaurants on Mission Street.) As......

So you live in District 6, you've been faithfully reading our interviews of the candidates, and you're trying to make up your mind who to vote for -- what to do? Fear not! SFist has thoughtfully put together a table of everyone's answers to our deeply-incisive District 6 Interviews, to make your decision-making that much easier. (Just so you know, we gave everyone the option to skip questions they didn't want to answer, so don't......

So we contacted everyone running for the District 6 seat, and run all the interviews we've received. (Thanks, Manuel Jimenez, Matt Drake, and Rob Black!) So in the spirit of fair play, it seems only right to give the last candidate some space of his own, to answer the exact same questions we asked everyone else. That's right: it's the one, the only -- they call him the Big Dog of the District, but......

Your District 6 election column is so pleased -- because we bring people together! This week's episode: Everyone Hates A Nametag.
Remember when we profiled Manuel Jimenez, who says he hated Chris because he (Manuel) didn't fall into Daly's favored constituency? Well, look how happy they are together up there!
Manuel writes to tell us:
I ran into Chris at the Harvey Milk LGBT 30th Anniversary Dinner [the other] night. I was invited by Maxine Doogan, of the Erotic Sex Providers Union, and sat at Table 11, the Citizens for Whore Rights table. Anyway, I ran into Chris...er...eh...I mean I invaded his space and asked to have a picture. He was very gracious.Look how cute the two of them look with their nametags! (though can someone tell us why Daly's wearing those green beads all the time now? It's probably something all emo, isn't it, which is why we're not making fun of it.... yet.)...

So we've moved up a notch on the news scale -- instead of just reading anti-Chris Daly position papers on the internet, we actually reached out to the candidates we could find with working email addresses and asked them if they'd be willing to sit through an arduous SFist interview. Get to know these questions, folks, we're asking them of all the candidates that expressed willingness to participate. Our first District 6 victim interviewee was......

This week in Everybody Hates Chris: Everybody Hates A Blogger.
Alas, District 6 aficionados, Jordanna Thigpen will not be running for Daly's seat either. Instead, she's running for the DCCCCCCCCCCCCC (sorry, we always forget how many Cs that has) instead. Thanks for playing, Jordanna!
So who else is up? Well, according to the Sentinel, the following people have announced their intent to run in District 6: Nadia Cabezas, Matthew Drake, Rodney Hauge, Manuel Jimenez, Bobby Jordan, Andrew Rucker, and William Stewart. Of these candidates, the Wall noted that one has a blog! He's the one whose name is a hyperlink! Guess who we're profiling next!
Welcome, Manuel Jimenez! He's a former bike messenger, a former Marine, and an attorney for the State Bar of California. Watch out, Chris, looks like he also has a cute son! Jimenez is running as the "Quality of Life Supervisor," as outlined in his policy papers. You know we've got a short attention span, so we're skimming here, but it looks like be nicer to the SFPD and move Board of Supes meetings to 5 p.m. Any position on impeaching Bush, Mr. Jimenez?
Also, Jimenez provides links to a children's book he's penned ("Timo's Tough Trek To School"), some supportive comments from his mom ("I'm thrilled you're running for office!"), his drawings, and excerpts from his novel. You can also check out his campaign blog (where he comes out against Daly's homicide task force plan) and his personal blog too. Wow, that's a lot of websites. We see a Bay Blogger Thursday profile in your future, Mr. Jimenez!
