If only results of this Kaisar study came out on Friday. Then we may have seen more interesting placards at Walk for Life on Saturday. "Coffee Kills," "Vegan, Caffeine-Free, and Pro-Life," for example. Why such a small study is making headlines in print and on television, we have no idea. The lives of pregnant women are already so limited, what with no drinking allowed, no drugging allowed, no hot-tubbing allowed, etc, etc. Despite the fact......

Well, look who's back for round three with the media! That's right, girls' girl and bumblebee Jennifer Siebel is tentatively tiptoeing back into the publicity news rounds, with a soft-focus lens interview in her daily newspaper, the Marin Independent Journal. In this interview, Jennifer Siebel rambles on and on about how she only went to business school to please her parents ("a pattern for much of my life"), cries a lot, says she only gets......

Here t'is, just in time for the four day work week, the Official Best MUNI Line poll. We have the F Market Line as the favorite because, well, who doesn't love that line? We love riding them all the time despite the fact they're always crowded. Also tapped as favorites are the Cable Cars. Would we be San Francisco without them?. Then there's the Fightin' 1 California which seems to be a favorite of a lot of people. We've always found the 1 to be one of the better lines, mainly because they seem to roll by every minute. The dark horse, however, just might be the 41 if only because it's the, well, most scenic of routes. ...

--Homicides are down about 10% (.pdf, page 4) (76 for the year as opposed to 86 at this time last year). Good! What's the SFPD solve rate on those homicides? [sorry for the .pdf links to the Examiner -- for some reason, none of today's articles are online yet.] --The chomping sea lion's disappeared. They think he might have died, or moved on. --They debate the public schools and an unflattering drawing of Chris Daly......

Independent opinion journal The Nation magazine kept us sane through a red state adolescence and early adulthood, and we ripped off opinions from editor Victor S. Navasky on a pathetically pathological basis. Times have changed -- now, we're far more likely to try to pass off the thoughts of Lisa Schwarzbaum as our own, but that doesn't mean our fondness for Navasky has decreased even a whit. That's why we're so happy to see the......

Ever since SFist was a wee little SFist, we were always told that if you were going to make money off people driving, the thing to do is to tax them for the gas they buy. This was considered a win-win: the state makes money and it encourages people to buy fuel-efficient cars. But in this crazy, mixed up state in which we live in, the Governator is thinking about taxing driving differently, by......

c12.jpgKimberly Guilfoyle formerly Newsom better make room for someone else on that carpet -- there's a new sassy San Francisco lawyer-correspondent making the rounds. The Post's Page Six reports that Apprentice runner-up Jennifer Massey is in talks with Court TV to become their newest reporter. Given that Massey is primarily a civil securities lawyer, we look forward to Court TV's fascinating wall-to-wall coverage of the Supreme Court arguments on loss causation pleading requirements under section 10 of the 1934 Securities Act. Massey is no longer listed as working at her former law firm of Clifford Chance, so we hope the final job interview with Court TV goes better than that one for Trump Central did. ...
