We know, we know, it's small potatoes after Illinois reminded us all how political corruption is , but poor former SF supervisor Ed Jew, whose only "f***in' golden" bargaining chip was not a Senate seat formerly occupied by the new president, but instead just a bubble tea shop, is still fighting on -- today's Matier and Ross reports that Ed made a special trip up from Burlingame to appear in the glamorous halls of the San Francisco small claims court in a fight with his former lawyer. Has it really come to this?

What better way to celebrate the new BART fare hikes than a 30 minute train delay on the first official day of work in 2008? It kind of threw the new train schedule a little out of whack too.

Oh No, Chris Kavanaugh! Berkeley's own Ed Jew, a Green Party member of the Berkeley rent board who was actually living (and litigating with his landlord) in Oakland, pled not guilty to three charges of voter fraud, one charge of perjury, and one of grand theft (for taking a stipend from the Berkeley rent board) yesterday. Kavanaugh spent Friday night living in the Santa Rita jail before being released on $30,000 bond, and will report back to court on Oct. 26. Kavanaugh has reportedly told other board members that he lives in Berkeley but his girlfriend lives in Oakland.

Oh No, Chris Daly! We don't even know what to say right now. We'd been hearing rumors all day (thanks to those hard-working folks over at the SFist Tips line) about a fight between District 6's rebearded progressive bad boy and the more moderate and clean-shaven Bevan Dufty of District 8, but didn't get confirmation of it until the Chron went live with their story.

Yay! Tapioca Ed's back!

--The SF Weekly writes us (us the site and you the readers!) a totally nice note about the mix-up over our dueling Day Around The Bay columns! Hugs! [The Snitch]

at SFO Tuesday morning. The flight, with 400 passengers aboard, boarded around midnight, and was scheduled to take off for Hong Kong at 1:20 a.m., but ended up sitting on the tarmac until 7:30 a.m., when it was finally scrapped for mechanical problems.

You know we'd say Chris Daly backed down from a fight, especially not in the title of a post!

The City Attorney's gone through all the residency documents that beleaguered Burlingame boy and erstwhile supposed San Francisco Supervisor Ed Jew provided last week, and ---- baaaaaaaaahmp -- (that's supposed to be a buzzer sound like when you guess something that's not on the board on Family Feud): the City Attorney has concluded that the documents currently on file are insufficient to demonstrate that Ed Jew lives in San Francisco. Oh no, Ed Jew!

The entries are coming in fast and furious on the Photoshop Frank Chu's Sign challenge! Here's our top two so far -- send yours in too!

First of all, a big sloppy THANKS! to SFist MattyMatt for yesterday evening's Oh No Ed Jew news update! We were out.

--As you may have heard in the comments to the latest Oh No, Ed Jew! column, MUNI is thinking about having the N go out to the Caltrain station again. Yay! We may cover this again on SFist later too.

All across the Ist-A-Verse (or at least the American parts thereof), writers and editors are in the midst of enjoying their three-day weekend. But after the week we've all had, we feel like the break is not only needed, but deserved. Just look at everything we've been doing!

We cannot get away from the transportation theme around here at Team SFist this week! The latest travel-related news relates to bubble-tea connoisseur Supervisor Ed Jew: despite the pending FBI investigation into his finances, he's left the country for a pre-planned trip to China. (Thanks to the Usual Suspects for the tip!)

Remember that mini-scandal concerning Ruby Tourk's timesheets and her disability leave? Well, ABC 7's spunky I Team has more on the story as they got their hands on Ruby's timesheets and discovered that a a lot of her sheets were either signed by her, by random people or by nobody. That would be 42 out of 65 timesheets. Some of them were even signed off by hubby Alex and a few by Epstein's mother.

Okay, don't say we didn't warn you, but.... Radar Online just posted pictures of the Governor from some sort of affair in the early 80's. It's pretty NSFW not in a naked Arnie kind of way but in a what Arnie is doing kind of way. We'll also give you the link of a discussion of it on Oh No They Didn't because it includes other NSFW-related pictures of our Governor. Let's just say you'll see more of any politician than you'd ever possibly want to see. And yes, better Arnie than Dennis Hastert.

SFist interviews Caila Thompson-Hannant from Shapes and Sizes off of the Asthmatic Kitty Label

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly. Do you want to be a fill-in copy editor for the Weekly? First question: does fill-in need a hyphen? Also, you must know Quark. We skipped Matt Smith this week, we just weren't up for the hate. The Apologist on traffic. Can we also confess that we don't really get the Ephraim the Track Bike column, though we do love it. Advice on effective protesting. Cover article: a con artist in jail made some prank phone calls and punked the police into letting a bunch of people out of prison. Dang! Hawaiian hardcore at El Rio on Saturday. Meredith takes her mom to the seafood place on 14th and Church that SFist Ced went to a month or so ago. A listing of your latest indie rock darlings -- the name Oh No! Oh My! is pretty good. And SFist Eve's horoscope: Rob Breszny suggests listening to Emmylou Harris.

What is there to say about the Barry in Drag photos that hasn't already been said? Like everyone else, our first reaction was "what the..?" followed quickly by "that's pretty funny" with a little bit of "hmmm...that does look like steroid bloat" thrown in at the end for good measure. You have to hand it to the dude, in one fell photo-op swoop, he managed to get himself some really good publicity. Who doesn't love it when big, burly athletic dudes show up in drag?
