Gastronomique: Scooping Inside Scoop.
If you wanted to know the latest gossip in the SF restaurant scene, you wouldn't come here. Not yet: we are convinced we will start receiving FAT JUICY TIPS --just any second now-- about which new place is about to open, and which chefs are about to switch kitchens. No, you would go check out the Inside Scoop. So we were disappointed to see that GraceAnn Walden, who penned the column for fourteen years, had moved on to other endeavours. GraceAnn always had her ear to the ground, scooping hot tips after hot tips, and dishing them fresh from the oven to you.
New Book Links Computers With Counterculture

Sophie Maxwell Pisses Off The Blogosphere
Well, when we suggested that Sophie start a blog to help counter some of the diatribes by critics in her constituency, we were only partly joking. Sure, we were jealous that our friends in District Six have a blogging supe, and we don't. But really, we tend to like Supervisor Maxwell, being the child of activists ourselves.

Let's Play BALCO!
For a trial that's supposed to be leak proof, this whole BALCO mess is leaking all over the place. In response to charges of misconduct brought on by details of the investigation leaking, , the court leaked documents on Friday detailing an interview Federal Agents had with Barry Bonds' personal trainer Greg Anderson ("Barry Bonds' Personal Trainer Gary Anderson", of course, pretty much being his new name). In the report, Anderson named several Giants' players as users of steroids. Those Giants included Bobby Estalella, Armando "Brian Sabean Suckered the Pirates Into Trading Me For Jason Schmidt" Rios, and 2002 playoff hero Benito Santiago. Anderson denied giving Bonds' anything, but when presented with evidence showing that he had, Anderson stopped the interview saying that "he didn't think he should be talking anymore because he didn't want to go to jail." This follows the story from several weeks ago in which the Chronicle said they had secretly recorded tapes of Anderson in which he talked about giving the undetectable steriod known as "the clear" to Bonds. Anderson's lawyer denied the charges. As did BALCO head Victor Conte
Proposition It II - Election Boogaloo
Previously on Proposition It, we learned how Proposition 65 begat Proposition 1A, how Prop 60 begat Prop 60A and Prop. 62. We also learned that there’s a really cranky lawyer in Mountain View. In today’s installment, we take on frivolous lawsuits, unique tax schemes, and hi-tech gadgetry. Not to mention those crazy Indian Gambling bills.
