--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] --An ABC 7 blog doesn't think all this Chris Daly and Ed Jew stuff is funny! Of course it's funny! [ABC 7's The Kitchen Think.] --Thought today in the SFist comments were bad?

We feel kind of bad posting this, because we really do love Cathay Pacific (comfy seats, good service, decent food, and they also sponsored the Asian-American and the SF Int'l Film Fests), but news is news: they had a plane stuck for seven hours 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......

Oh no, Ed Jew! Namely,......

First of all, a big sloppy THANKS! to SFist MattyMatt for yesterday evening's Oh No Ed Jew news update! We were out. So what's the latest on Tapioca Ed for today?

At the meeting, Jew was the only person who voted against......

--A feuding local family's trip to the Dr. Phil show doesn't go so well for the ex-wife. --We've been trying, and failing, to muster up the energy to write up a full post about the fake San Francisco DA intern all day -- and all you're getting in the end is a Day/Bay link. --The SF Opera abruptly fired a talented, well-liked, local African-American soprano from tomorrow's season opening Don Giovanni, and replaced her......

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! Gothamist headed into the Memorial Day weekend with a number of tasks accomplished. They worried about Long Islanders giving New Yorkers a bad name. They tried......
