--Spot (at least) four problems with this picture! [zippy_monster on Flickr, from the SFist Flickr stream.]

You guys are THE BEST. Thanks for all the great pictures of today's Ed Jew rally outside City Hall!

In the taunting words of non-progressive Pat Murphy: do it, Lumpy! We stopped by the Progressive Convention where basically, on a schedule running about 90 minutes behind, everyone who's anyone in local politics stopped by and, after some exciting build-up in the form of a campaign speech by Ross Mirkarimi..... -- no one ended up deciding to run against Gavin Newsom. As Calitics puts it: Exasperating.

--Civic Center's SFMike reports on a Hayes Valley-themed mini-golf public art installation. That's the eponymous Mr. Hayes (not Rutherford B., but another guy named Thomas) to your right.

Peace in our times! Bikers and car drivers, with the help of none other than the Honorable Gavin Newsom, have worked out a permanent solution to the Golden Gate Park Healthy Saturdays impasse. We know, we're totally amazed too -- next, the mayor's office will say they've worked it all out between the Shias and the Sunnis; Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff; and Pat Murphy and Chris Daly. We're nominating Gavin for a Nobel peace prize!

Univision: "You okay, Gavin?" Gavin: "Imo get to that question when I get through this door!" KGO: "Did your hair get bigger, or is the doorway getting smaller?" Gavin: "Why's everybody gotta hate? I killed that town hall meeting. I'm the best mayor in the world!" Pat Murphy: "Is it true you got rid of your entire blue tie collection to quell the wrath of SFist Rita?" Gavin: "SFist Rita wasn't even here. What's up with that? They sent that creampuff, SFist Elaine, instead." SFist Elaine: "Whatev, Gavin. You are so DTM!*"

As the political season starts to heat up, there's so many bloggers monitoring politicians' activities that we're thinking we need to start a new column, the _____Watch. There's so many people needing to be assessed these days!

Looking for news on Gavin's stalker? We've now rearranged this morning's blotter into our usual Breaking News format, latest updates on top. Read our original post after the jump too, we're quite proud of all the links we put in!

While reading the San Francisco Sentinel, we couldn't help but notice that Pat Murphy has made himself an extremely awesome personalized SFist t-shirt! (we don't have the rights to run the picture here, but it's the last picture on the page). LOVE! The San Francisco Sentinel IS First-Ist! Thanks for the support, Pat!

Careful readers of our daily news summary Day Around The Bay may have noticed that the Golden Gate Restaurant Association has filed a lawsuit against Gavin Newsom and Tom Ammiano's proposed citywide health insurance plan. How can people who support the health care plan show their outrage?

Happy Thanksgiving!

When does the RCV count begin -- in the District 6 election! And as promised earlier, this week's episode is indeed titled: Everybody Hates The Wait.

Only one more day until... the District 6 election! (And thank God for that.) This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Last Day!

We figure if we get called anti-Daly by the pro-Dalys, and pro-Daly by the antis, we're probably doing something right -- in the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Question Time -- and not just Proposition I either.

Ha ha ha ha -- they threw Chris Daly into a swimming pool! Commenter El Greco and photographer Drew Altizer earn a sweet spot in our heart for passing along their pictures of the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Center Pool Toss event on Tuesday. As promised, Daly wore a suit.

Yesterday was the big 39 for the head executive officer of the city and county of San Francisco -- so what better way to celebrate than with a surprise party in City Hall, featuring singer Thelma Houston from Theater Zinzanni? Answer: with a red boa (pictures of red boa after the jump). Beats last year's birthday, which ended with a catfight.

Thank you, gentlemen, your time is up! This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Debate.

Only five more weeks to go until the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates An Endorsement.

Wanna see more pictures like this? Well, starting next week, you'll get your chance!

You know, we never got that string of silver anti-Daly beads from Pat Murphy....

--Why's Lawrence Wong getting in so much trouble for accidentally crossing a picket line when the Bay Area Reporter did too?

--You'll never turn your TIC into a condo now.

As promised, we completely slept through the 5:14 a.m. bells and sirens commemorating the 100th anniversary of the big quake -- but some of you more diligent San Franciscans didn't, to our collective benefit. As promised, commenter Ed sent along his thoughts and pictures -- pass along your story, or a link to your blog, in the comments if you're so inclined. The perspicacious Pat Murphy and Luke Thomas went, shot, and uploaded, as did Flickr user honan, whose picture appears above. Local news stations have downloadable clips of the event today too. And as always, the Chron's got the crack reporters and photogs on scene too -- and it was pretty cool to wake up this morning and read the version (.jpg) of the April 18, 1906 front page that no one actually saw. That quake series has been fun to read. Here's to you, indominable spirit of San Francisco! Picture off flickr by honan.
