SFist Nick forwarded along an unintentionally-hilarious article by professional provocateur Christopher Hitchens from earlier this week in Slate. In this article, Hitchens mostly complains about Conrad Black, the Canadian press tycoon recently convicted of corporate fraud, but check out this kicker at the end!

--They reopened the Macarthur Maze! And of course, now the bridge is backed up.

So how entertaining for us to find out we were in fact part of a huge juggernaut of people supporting people who support Mark Leno in a proxy fight between him and Carole Migden! (If huge can be defined as "about 200 people," that is.)

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.

There's lots to be said about this election (we won the House!), and lots to be learned about local politics (YouTube -- the wave of the future), and that's for political scientists that are sharper than us to figure out -- but the one totally obvious point that this election's highlighted is that Gavin Newsom can't get his friends elected.

Awww, cute! Here's a collection of pictures of the candidates posing with children -- from the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Kissing Babies.

Last week's winner, the East Bay Express. DAMN Choreography objects to an article about them with the title "Tits and Assets." It's their special East Bay politics issue! Political bloggers wreaking havoc in Alameda, that Democrat running against Pombo might actually win, hipsters are voting for Aimee Allison. The EBX recommendations, plus a genius move -- polling people about fake propositions. We liked the school vending machine tax to go to anti-bullying programs, and the requirement that the voter info guide be written at a 6th grade reading level the best. Jonestown the documentary is opening. Sichuan food in Fremont. A Rock The Voter blows off learning about the propositions to tool around town. And the Sunday morning rap radio show on KALX has been cancelled.

Everybody hates Chris -- but everyone loves a charticle! This week's episode: Everybody Hates The Negatives.

Again -- Rob Black/Matt Drake fans, if you guys send us your YouTube clips, we'll gladly post 'em -- for the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Heartwarming.

--Did you fall back?

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.

It's a mishmash of random news items about -- the District 6 election! This week's episode: Everybody Hates Odds And Ends.

SFist Jackson passed this along to us -- the Stanford Center for Internet and Society, in conjunction with the Center for Citizen Media, is sponsoring an Election Day Bloggers' Legal Guide for November 7.

, but you know we never let the facts get in the way of poking some fun at our mayor's expense.

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Save Chris Daly! Rob Black's dirty Swift-Boat campaign tactics. PG&E (sigh). Cover articles: What's happening with Halloween this year? TELL US! Also, where'd our fun gay Halloween go?, and (non-SF) themed costumes. What, no Alix Rosenthal costume? Maybe Steven T. Jones edits the costume section. Sonic Reducer's days behind the counter at Tower. Lit section: books about seedy SF, and Michelle Tea's interview with the editor and publisher of Bitch Magazine. The new post-Emmy's spaghetti shack, and New York's Delfina. Tossing the Rasputin Music pullout. A review of that movie with the fake assassination of Bush. And Brittanie Mountz's horoscope: 1) Trust, 2) Hold tight, and 3) Communicate.

As your source for District 6 obsession, we'd be remiss not to inform you of the unofficial bar crawl with Chris Daly planned tonight for bars in the 16th and Mission nexus, as well as Zeitgeist. This is clearly the opportunity to ask Chris all of those questions you've been saving up, such as whether he beat up nerdy kids on the gradeschool blacktop, whether Rob Black's campaign is the work of a demonic hand, or if he's a Smiths fan.

We here in the Bay Area may not agree on many things, but the one thing we do agree on is that MUNI sucks. Hell, even the Mayor realized this as he went all Grampa Simpson on us and whined about it. Whether it's litter or bad drivers or super-crowded busses, the week was nothing but one big huge MUNI kvetch.

Remember that guy who totally hated on Tristan Bettencourt and posted a web site with all sorts of nasty rumors about him? Well, that's nothing compared to what's been put out on Rob Black, one of the candidates running against Chris Daly in District 6. You may think that Rob comes off as one of those aging hipster types who looks like Ted from "Queer Eye", a nice enough guy with an impressive resume of political involvement, but you would be wrong. See, according to the site, Meet Rob Black, Rob Black is actually some deep-undercover ops guy who single-handedly brought oppression, war, and dictatorships to several third world countries.
