Thank goodness. Let the blessed distraction begin. For just a little while, there there be kickoffs and touchdowns and the illusion of a level playing field. Tonight, it's time for the National Football League's 2007 regular season to begin. Wonderful. more ›

With all that went down this week, we thought we thought we'd cheer everyone up by giving everyone a double dose of dogs. more ›

We've never been happier that our dead cat's cremains reside in a little box, than when we heard about how Pet's Rest Cemetery must exhume about 1000 of its residents. The lease is up on the property the animals were laid to rest in, and the landlords want it back. The cemetery's owner claimed he thought he'd be able to buy the land, the land's owners say he should have known better, and the late pets guardians are pissed. Of course, all we can think about is a very cute version of . ""You son of a bitch, you moved the headstones but you didn't move the bodies!" more ›

Could it happen here? Could it happen here? On the theory of forewarned is forearmed, the news media from potential FEMA disaster spot number 3 (that's us!) are now frantically investigating the qualifications of SF's own Homeland Security liaison and City Dept. of Emergency Services head Annemarie Conroy -- who, like Michael Brown, is an attorney with no real experience in emergency management who, people charge, only got the job based on her political connections. Conroy seems better than ol' man Brownie in that she probably wouldn't refuse to talk to a woman governor and only talk to her husband instead (WTF?) -- but when your only qualification for emergency management is that, um, your father was in emergency management, perhaps KGO 7 is right to be a little concerned. Then again, given that she replaced Alex Fagan as the previous emergency guy, maybe we're actually better off. (At least we don't live in NJ -- where Gay-American governor Jim McGreevy appointed his clandestine boyfriend to Jersey's equivalent post). Part 2 of the KGO special airs tonight at 6:30, right after the president's speech. more ›
