Performance artist and controversial radio host Michael Savage is screeching mad at local SF television stations. It seems, according to Rich Lieberman, some of them are refusing to air a spot he shot for his XTRA Sports 860 AM local radio affiliate, all because of his use of the term "schmuck." For the goyim out there who don't know what a "schmuck" is, it's a pejorative Yiddish term for the penis, which has trickled down in meaning to fool. Watch the tepid in in question here. more ›

Speaking of controversial radio, anti-gay, anti-happy, overall bigoted, and highly entertaining performance artist Michael Savage is back in the air in San Francisco. Ta-da. more ›

Talk 910 KNEW, according to Patriot Axiom, has tossed controversial performance artist Michael Savage off the air in San Francisco. (What?!) "With little notice, Talk 910 KNEW has replaced controversial talk show host Michael Savage in the 3-7 time slot," they report. According to the 910 AM's blog, "Here's your no-spin direct answer; we have decided to go in a different philosophical and ideological direction, featuring more contemporary content and more local information. The Savage Nation does not fit into that vision." (Snap!) The somewhat boring "John and Ken" will replace Allen Ginsberg's former BFF. (Say what you will about Savage, "uninteresting" is not one of them.) If you recall, Savage had to leave 560 KSFO after, well, being Michael Savage. more ›

Did you know that San Francisco-based Michael Savage, God-fearing KNEW performance artist who was literally banned from entering Britain for being mean, founded Rockstar energy drink? It's true. He used to be an herbalist hippie back in the day, dropping acid while fending off the advances of Alan Ginsberg. more ›

We swear, this guy is one step away from strapping road flares to his chest. Now, it's increasingly difficult for us to explain the conceptual art that is Michael Savage's work. Its genius lies in its demented complexity. But according to Bay City News (via CBS 5), Savage recently "sued the Council on American-Islamic Relations in federal court in San Francisco Monday over the group's use of his words on its Web site." Apparently,... more ›

Today, Hate Hurts America (chortle) and the Interfaith Coalition announced that WalMart and AT&T either stopped advertising or now refuse to place ads on Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" program, joining a list of advertisers that have shunned the talk show host. (AutoZone, Citrix, TrustedID, JC Penney, and OfficeMax have also pulled their advertising.) Why? Because Michael Savage is a big ol;' meanie , crusher of warm fuzzies, and wisher of AIDS upon you sodomites.... more ›

-- Laura Gibson: We'd hate to genre-ize her lovely sounds, but neo-folk songstress Gibson -- who uses such tools as trumpet, viola, and musical saw in addition to her sublime vocal cords-- sings delicate siren songs that will have you crashing at her feet. She performs along with Musee Mechanique (Portland) and Snowblink starting at 8 p.m. at Rickshaw Stop; $8. more ›

With Ed Jew out of the picture for now, the SF Board of Supes wasted little time in unanimously approving a resolution tsk-tsking The Savage Nation host Michael Savage for his "[l]et them fast until they starve to death; then that solves the problem" (it sure helps us remain in control!) comment he made about students fasting in regard to an immigration reform bill last July. more ›

Chicagoist is gearing up for this weekend's annual Air & Water Show along the lakefront. In what's becoming an annual tradition around there, staff member Todd McClamroch even got to fly with one of the participants. Chicagoist's decidedly opinionated readership was also appalled that one of their staffers found a popular local brewpub to be a great place to bring a kid. They also think that an unlikely activist for immigration rights should just take her medicine and offered their own suggestions to how the city should capitalize on the local music scene. And everyone thinks that a suggested tax on bottled water is a great idea. more ›

Springing forth from SF's thigh, a new power couple is born: Savage Jew. Wednesday, Ed Jew appeared on hyperbolic grandpa/genius performance artist Michael Savage's show, The Savage Nation. Jew discussed why left-leaning views also deserve First Amendment protection and his decision to vote against Sandoval's proposed resolution to get Savage to use his inside voice. Along with his attorney Steven Gruel, Jew also blathered on about his own legal woes. (Maybe you've heard about... more ›

After Supervisor Sandoval introduced a resolution to brand hyperbolic grandpa Michael Savage as a hate speech-spewing loon, it wasn't voted on unanimously yesterday, care of SFsit's favorite coverboy, Ed Jew. (Ah, World Net Daily, where we go to get all of our fair and balanced news, drizzled with a infusion of organic Nazism.) On July 5, after Savage predictably asked that students undergoing a weeklong fast for immigration reform (and, bonus, to slim down... more ›

Last week's winner, the East Bay Express. The man who invented the suction-cup Garfield was defrauded by a friend. A civilly-disobedient city of Walnut Creek refuses to sign a California state loyalty oath, and can't get paid. Cover article: Michael Savage. The title "Savage Hate" is pretty good. Cat show this weekend. SF Jewish Film Fest. I Like Eating satisfies as always, at the second brewpub in California, and the new food critic checks out new restaurant 900 Grayson that's gotten its evening hours permit tied up in Berkeley city politics. Dave Grohl played an unfortunately-named "a-foo-stic" set last week. And Dan, not Michael, Savage tries advising people to enter marital counseling for a change. more ›
