Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Tim Redmond says the progressives need something to do (so why not run a mayoral candidate?). Too many skyscrapers. Wi-fi and sunshine laws, Ruby Rippey-Tourk, cars in Golden Gate Park, and SF is totally unprepared for global warming. The gay porn Oscars! Cover articles: Noise Pop! SFist Elaine says to check out Scissors for Lefty. Dude, there's like a review for every band playing! Yay Noise Pop! L.E. Leone goes to lunch with Lisa Jervis, co-founder of Bitch Magazine. Lucky L.E.! We're friends with Lisa and she's totally fun to go out to eat with. And Gavin Newsom's horoscope: Stop drinking so much, "lay off the chemical distractions and take a break from relationships." Michelle Tea and Jessica Lanyadoo, are you specifically writing the Libra horoscope FOR Gavin now? Next week: Libras -- Give Matt Gonzalez a big hug the next time you see him! more ›

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. And ... whoa! Pictures of Margaret Cho's burlesque performance online (probably NSFW, but not really hardcore or anything). Make Gavin Newsom tell us what he does all day. Aaron Peskin on some kind of shenanigans with a City College building in North Beach. And -- this is weird -- so the Guardian is sort of mad at (or at least puzzled by) Chris Daly on Sophie Maxwell's housing plan, but Matt Smith over at the Weekly is begrudgingly okay with him about that Hastings protest where he got arrested. This is totally blowing our mind! Is it opposite day? Open the library on Sundays! Skipping a long and difficult-to-read two page comic-strip advertisement. Annalee Newitz on the debates over the feminist science fiction entry on Wikipedia. Cover: have a nice winter holiday. More music and club lists. The Guardian congratulates itself on opposing the war in Iraq in a full-page ad.

"Everyone who comes to a Margaret Cho show is either gay or Asian," one of our companions said as we fought our way into Symphony Hall on Friday night among the oceans of Banana Republic pants, leather jackets, and nicely-pressed colorful tops, for the first of Ms. Cho's SF shows on her new Assassin tour. "Or both!", responded our gay Asian-American companion. Margaret Cho is, of course, San Francisco's no-holds-barred Korean-American comedienne, and a proud dropout of Lowell High who then went on to star in the first-ever Asian-American TV comedy, All American Girl -- which then became the first-cancelled Asian-American TV comedy. And then the subject of Margaret's real breakout one-woman show and book, I'm the One That I Want. She brought her latest stand-up show back home, to an ecstatic, cat-calling crowd. Hit the expand-o-tron below for more Bush jokes than you can shake a stick at, and an update on Margaret's mom's health. more ›

Long-time readers of this site may remember a certain, um, "fixation" we had on a certain picture of our mayor and his then-wife, in happier times. Well, it looks like Niners PR man Kirk Reynolds was similarly inclined! No one's laughing about the mea culpa hat-in-hand tours that the Niners' owners are making around the various offended groups in town. Last week, John York and Reynolds met with members of the gay community in the LGBTQ headquarters in the Castro to apologize for mocking gay marriage in the infamous training video, and yesterday, they went to Chinatown to apologize to Asian-Americans for depicting a buck-toothed accented Asian character in the video too. One 18-year-old Asian-American Niners fan told York, "You guys are like our heroes. So when I saw that video, I don't know how to describe it -- it was heartbreaking." And sitting sternly in attendance too -- the Asian-American who paid for the renaming of Monster Park, Noel Lee. Lee told the Examiner that the video reminded him of "ridicule" he faced growing up in the Richmond and that "I thought that was behind me until I saw this video." Quite a lot of damage to do for a lame joke about l's and r's, huh? Hey, here's an idea: Lee and the gay community should get together and rename Candlestick B.D. Wong and Margaret Cho Field! Lee paid all that money, didn't he? more ›

SFist is proud to presnt you YET another San Francisco native. We could have asked Rain probing questions about going to high school with Margaret Cho, Sam Rockwell, and Aisha Tyler--YES!! THAT Aisha Tyler, but we chose instead to ask more meaningful questions about the best burrito and best deal in San Francisco. more ›
