-- The Shining (1980): "Honey, I'm home," "Here's Johnny!" etcetera, etcetera, Kubrick, and so forth. (No one wields a baseball bat like Shelley Duvall. So awkward. Also, what ever happened to her?)

Most people can't comprehend our near OCD level obsession with Chris Daly, Ed Jew, Gavin, and the Board of Supes. So, we're cool when people ask us questions like, "How do you know this?" or "Why do you care?" or "How do you stay awake during all those board meetings?" We've gotten over it and understand most people's position, which is why we just want to say that our mental health is okay and......

Since this rumor is getting a lot of play these days, it's time to do the Official SFist post on it and that is the Danny Glover for Mayor rumors. The rumors supposedly started on SFJunto and have been picked up by progressives as something doable and even kind of exciting. Hell, somebody has to run against Gavin. The thinking is he'd make perfect candidate because he's a noted lefty (he was so virulently anti-apartheid that he killed a bunch of South Africans diplomats), lives in San Francisco, and is a star, baby, a star. Hell, if Arnie could be governor and Fred Thompson the sudden leading Republican Presidential candidate based on his appearing on "Law and Order" why not Danny? The Examiner has him at 450-1 odds that he's running. ...

And it's the (drum roll please)....BART. BART? ...

Here's the good news: there really isn't any news. Then again, who would know in the midst of the wall-to-wall Anna Nicole coverage? Oh, there was a staff shakeup and Gavin made a joke, but there really is nothing out there. No earth-shaking revelation, no new story of Gavin's lonely life living a Frank Sinatra tune, no clash with reporters. We guess that'll happen tomorrow for Fake Question Time II. That should be fun. ...

Friday night may have kicked off the 14th Annual Kung Pao Kosher Comedy soiree, but it was our first. Though we're clearly members of the target audience for a December night of comedy by, for and about Jews, we somehow managed never to attend. We were Kung Pao virgins. But no longer. ...

If hoops is a game of streaks, right now the Warriors are Frank the Tank. They're flying so high, they're looking down on the Democrats. They're looking so good, Gavin Newsom is jealous. They're buzzing so hard, they're getting calls from Courtney Love (and Mel Gibson?).

Breaking the law, breaking the law We -ist folks love us some crime, and no misdemeanor is too petty for a post on any of our sites. This week, join us for a rogues' gallery of miscreants major, minor, and alleged. Gothamist gets us started with "Law & Order", muppet style. Oh, you know what isn't a crime? Taking pictures on the MTA. So, why are cops stopping photographers? In other Gotham crime, a......

This may seem hard to believe, but after all that fund raising and all that ass-kissing, and all those Stones concerts, as the new year dawns and his re-election mounts, Herr Governator's campaign is almost completely broke. As in having no money-- nada. As in having only slightly over $140,000 in hand, something which wouldn't even cover a political consultant's expensed lunch. Throw in all the outstanding fees he has and he's actually over $400,000 in debt. Expect his next big fund-raiser to be a potluck in his living room with one of his children DJing with their iPod. ...

If the Governator's State of the State speech was one of his movies, it would be Terminator III. Why? Because, if you remember back to those halcyon days when the Governor was an actor and not a politician, Terminator III was his comeback movie. After years and years of crappy movies and Jingle All the Way, Arnie just basically said "screw it, you guys want the big, dumb action movie with me playing a cyborg, I'll give you the big, dumb action movie with me playing a cyborg." So he gave the people what they wanted. And his big State of the State speech was nothing but one big huge attempt at giving the people what they want. ...

Last week, the Governator put an abortion loving lesbian in charge of his Adminstration. The Right was not amused (neither was the Left, but that's neither here nor there in terms of this posting). How not amused? John Fund in the Wall Street Journal not only compares the nomination of Susan Kennedy to Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers, but wonders if Arnie Jumped the Shark. That shark was jumped months ago. But wait, there's more. In response, a conservative group is starting a drive to draft Mel Gibson to run against the Governator. They've even set up a Web site with an online petition to encourage him to run. We think is an awesome idea. After all, Arnie and Mel never actually squared off in a movie which means it'll be like one of those Kirk vs. Picard type situations. Just think of it, the Terminator versus Braveheart, Predator vs. Lethal Weapon. We can already picture the debate: as Arnie recites one-liners from his movies for the hundredth time, Mel goes into his "Three Stooges" routine while his aides torture him in slow motion. ...
