While people have little confidence in Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, at least according to recent polls, few of us want to recall him. (If you remember, the powerful California Correctional Peace Officers Association union spearheaded a recall effort in August.) According to a Field Poll, 69 percent of California voters oppose getting rid of the governor. So, there you go. (CBS 5)......

Today the "powerful and well-heeled" correctional officers' union today set their lasers on Schwarzenegger for a recall. Lance Corcoran, spokespeson of the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, says the reason for the recall is, ahem, "In the history of bad governors, this is the worst governor we've ever had." He went on to say "This is a man who is a poser. That's what he did, that's how he made his living, posing." Wow.......

Granted that most you fresh food philosophers won't even know what we're talking about right now; you can thank your delicate palates and/or lactose intolerance for that. Feel free to tune into Check, Please! Bay Area while we warn the rest of the others about the following fast-food danger. General Mills has recalled five million frozen pizzas under the Totino’s Pizza and Jeno’s Pizza brands this morning. It appears that the Totino's recall is......

Damnit. We love us some pre-washed spinach -- slightly wilted with bacon and cheese, especially. So this pains us: Fresh off the heels of e. coli infusions, bags of spinach are now being recalled for another problem. Metz Fresh of King City, CA, found salmonella in one of their bags. According to AP: The recall covers 10- and 16-ounce bags, as well as 4-pound cartons and cartons that contain four 2.5-pound bags, with the......

Yeah, pretty much the only thing everyone's talking about is Ed Jew's arrest. But here's some other news! --The SF Dept. of Elections tossed out the Recall Peskin papers for procedural defects. As we probably could have guessed after seeing the plethora of signs at their rally the other day, they listed too many different reasons why he should be recalled. Stick with one, guys! We LOVE this "Peskin doesn't care about your pets" platform.......

So many recalls afoot these days, we're starting a new column! Today's recall news: a reader passed along these pictures of today's rather-sparsely attended Recall Peskin rally on the steps of City Hall. Looks like they got about a quarter of the 40 folks who signed the Peskin recall petition in the first place -- and it looks like we're the only people who even have news of the event up anywhere online. Our......

Yes, we know, we know, we made that exact same joke about the Recall Jake McGoldrick movement underway in District 1 -- we're going to keep making this joke until people stop trying to recall elected officials. We do not need more things on the ballot. The Examiner confirms the reports we'd been hearing that someone's decided to start a recall campaign against District 3 Supervisor (and Board of Supes president) Aaron Peskin. So according......

--What is going on in this town? There was a mob-style shooting near the 5th and Harrison 80 off-ramp this afternoon. Someone shot 17 bullets into a rented blue Dodge Charger around 1 p.m. today, as both cars were getting off the highway and stopped at a light. The shooters sped off up Fifth Street in a green minivan, which hit another car in the getaway. The victim suffered life-threatening injuries but is as......

There's going to be some more clipboard-wielding petition signature gatherers near Burma Superstar, as a group of Geary Street merchants filed the official paperwork to launch a recall campaign against District 1 (The Richmond) supervisor Jake McGoldrick, for being insufficiently car-friendly. Insufficiently car-friendly? He only just biked to work for the first time in 2006! The recall campaign, which is spearheaded in part by one of the six candidates who ran against McGoldrick for the......
