Outsiders Blamed for (Alleged) SF Crime Wave

Outsiders Blamed for (Alleged) SF Crime Wave

Once again, lots of sticky, viscous blood bathed the streets of San Francisco. Let's see, we had a 19-year-old man shot while strolling along 23rd Street and Treat, two people shot inside a car at 23rd and Arkansas Streets, a murder at McAllister and Fillmore in the Western Addition, and it's only Sunday afternoon! more ›

Newsom Must Still Must Attend <del>Detention</del> Board of Supervisor Meetings

Newsom Must Still Must Attend Detention Board of Supervisor Meetings

Much to our surprise, the motion that almost allowed our fair Mayor Gavin Newsom to eschew his monthly cameos Board of Supervisor meeting was tabled. That is to say, it was killed. Dead. According to Sweet Melissa recounts today's nail-biting Board of Supes meeting thusly: more ›

Governor Gavin Newsom?

Governor Gavin Newsom?

It looks like Mayor Gavin Newsom will take a stab at running for Governor of California in 2010. In addition to the gaggle of Democratic hopefuls looking to succeed Gov. Schwarzenegger after his reign comes to an end -- which include former governor Jerry Brown, former state controller Steve Westley, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, just to name a few -- San Francisco's very own mayor wants the title as well. more ›

Layoffs Greet San Francisco School Teachers Today

Layoffs Greet San Francisco School Teachers Today

535 San Francisco Unified School District teachers will receive layoff notices this morning due to state cuts in education funding. Today's pink slip handouts stem from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget '09, which will see San Francisco schools losing around $40 million. According to CBS 5, Mayor Newsom is doing what he can, even if it's a Band-Aid solution to a longterm problem. more ›

Tour Connected Bus: Vehicle of the Future

While not all of us are fortunate enough to zip around in swank Aston Martins, or have sleek Tesla waiting for us on the horizon, the "bus of the future" is the next best thing. Well, almost. more ›

Breaking News: Newsom and Siebel Briefly Go Without Gravitational Pull

Oh, for the love of God. Really? Okay, we'll bite. Ahem: while some of us were going through a chemically-induced bender over the last few days, because that's why God invented the three-day weekend, celebrity couple Gavin Newsom and Jennifer Siebel were flying high as well. According to SF Sentinel (via Spaceref.com): more ›

Kathy Griffin vs. the GayVN Awards

Kathy Griffin vs. the GayVN Awards

According to the fine folks over at The Sword (NSFW), the GayVNs (NSFW) will be held here on Saturday -- you know, those homosexual pornography achievement awards, which led to Mayor Gavin Newsom getting all Berkeley City Council on us after he declared Feb. 23 to be Colt Studio Day last year? -- coinciding with that hairy-large-gay-appreciation festival thing happening. more ›

Ride Muni for Free All Night Long On New Year's Eve

Ride Muni for Free All Night Long On New Year's Eve

Mayor Gavin Newsom says that one of his "top priorities is to ensure that every San Franciscan has a safe and happy New Year. Riding Muni is a smart and green way to ring in the new year." (Thanks, Gavin!) And with a firm flick of his wrist, this New Year's Eve, starting at 8 p.m., Muni will be free all night, which is about what it's worth. The free rides come to a screeching halt at 6 a.m., Tuesday, January 1. more ›

Newsom Has the Unmitigated Gall to Defend Hawaiian Vacation!

Newsom Has the Unmitigated Gall to Defend Hawaiian Vacation!

Mayor Gavin Newsom had the gall -- the gall! -- to defend his Hawaiian sojourn , saying "I was gone Friday and Saturday...and one of the most remarkable things that’s happened in the last century is the ability to communicate with people in real time and engage in a dialogue and discussion and coordination and collaboration, without necessarily being physically in the same room." And you know what? Good for you, Mayor man. No,... more ›

Chicken John Debates Gavin Newsom

In a final tip of the hat that sums up this year's (disappointing) election, Gavin Watch has celebrity candidate Chicken John's surprise Saturday night debate with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Not the real mayor, mind you, but Gavin in puppet form. (Kudos to those who created the puppet, though we would've have liked to have seen Newsom sporting a signature cold-blue tie. We digress.) It's a humorous bit, one that stretches on and... more ›

Week Around the -Ists

Week Around the -Ists

The Red Sox has permeated nearly every facet of Bostonist's lives. When they're not live-blogging the games, waxing poetic about the games, thanking Curt Schilling for his splendid work, or telling Dane Cook to watch his hair, they're watching certain presidential candidates hop on the Red Sox bandwagon (sorry, Gothamist). The Sox are so branded on the local brain that people are using the Series to spice up their sex lives. Speaking of spice, Bostonist is really sick of that taco promo. And, while they're proud of John Williams, Bostonist is still trying to figure out Williams' "Very Special Arrangement" of the "Star Spangled Banner." more ›

Match Game PM? Or SF Mayoral Debate?

Match Game PM? Or SF Mayoral Debate?

Before last night's much more important Zombie Attack, there was some sort of mayoral debate at some bookish building. A debate consisting of Mayor Gavin Newsom, possible contender Quintin Mecke, and slew of other candidates who, more or less, sold their remaining integrity and ethics for a shot at "local personality" status. Well, congrats: you're all winners, then. more ›

Have You Seen This Fugitive Fundraiser?

Have You Seen This Fugitive Fundraiser?

Fundraiser, five-head sufferer, and possible one-time kidnapping victim Norman Hsu skipped his San Mateo County Superior Court appearance this morning and is now the lam! He is wanted for a 15-year-old felony warrant for grand theft. Some fear that since he was supposed to return his passport this morning, but failed to do so, he might be en route to Antarctica, or somewhere, by now. more ›
