SFist's dear neighbor's, Wired, came across this racially explosive internet meme on the Daily Kos, which is set to have Democrats duking it out online. According to the Daily Kos, someone in the Clinton campaign took Obama's image from this video and darkened (a la OJ Simpson gracing the covers of Time and Newsweek) for this commercial. According to the Kos: In case you needed yet another reason to despise Hillary Clinton and her......

Update: Sen. Barack Obama's campaign office in Rochester and John Edwards' offices have also been evacuated. Our sister site, Bostonist is live-blogging the situation right now. Apparently, a man wants to "speak to Hillary Clinton. He has two hostages (maybe more) and [allegedly has] a bomb strapped to his chest ... police have asked the media not to take live shots of the building." Yikes. A little bit of breaking news well outside of......

The Mahler cycle must go on. Expanded from the original scope of recording the symphonies to include, well, pretty much any orchestral work by Mahler, the cycle now welcomes the addition of das klagende Lied, released today. Technically speaking, it is not a new recording: it’s a remastering of the 1997 recording, re-issued under the SF Symphony label. The cover art has been updated, from a MTT in a black turtleneck with wavy hair to,......

Here's todays sports news...

An Alaska airlines plane has been evacuated at the Oakland Airport for suspicion of an explosive device on board. It's probably nothing as it's usually nothing but it's still kind of exciting. ...

Guests: Corporate hacker and hacking fan Bradley Horowitz (Creator of Yahoo Hack Day, VP of Product Strategy, acquirer of flickr, upcoming.org), undercover satirist......

Those of you who read this site regularly probably think you have a good sense of what this particular correspondent is interested in -- traffic, Chris Daly, heartwarming tales about animals, general schadenfreunde. But we have a shameful confession to make. No, it's not that we secretly love/hate Gavin Newsom. No, it's not that we secretly love/hate Matt Gonzalez. We are totally following the Susan Polk trial. It's embarrassing! We never got into the OJ......

Being a relatively recent gratuate to cable from rabbit ears, we're not sure how that whole In Demand thing works, but we've been tempted to figure it out ever since we heard about Friend of SFist Harmon Leon's stint on "Juiced", a hidden camera prank show starring OJ Simpson. That's right, Harmon and OJ, sharing the screen. In Harmon's words: Some (let’s call them the sane) would be apprehensive to work with OJ. But......

Man, we need some extra cash to get us through the weekend. We hate it when payday is on a Saturday! Our couch doesn't have cushions to harbor change (stupid Ikea PS), and Oprah's debt diet series has made us so afraid of check-cashing places that we cross the street to avoid them. (Tangent: Anyone else ever think that Oprah could solve all our debt problems on what she probably would have spent at Hermes?)......
