Praise Jesus, progressive politics and pure rage. The 's van, which some bastard stole earlier this week, was found. The vehicle was discovered by the SFPD yesterday morning on the 100 block of 25th Ave in the Richmond. According to reports, a "teacher from Corta Madera named Kevin Mahoney phoned in the van's location." It was not, in fact, the mischievous twentysomethings at Digg, whose offices are located next to SFBG HQ, taking the thing out for a joyride. more ›

We've been talking so much about the Chronicle and the SF Weekly lately that perhaps one of our best-known local pubs is feeling a bit ignored. Editor & Publisher Magazine has published a feature spotlighting "10 That Do It Right." E&P selects a new list every summer from the nation's daily and weekly newspapers. E&P says it's not a "Top 10" list, but rather "a hat tip to a variety of publications which have, through excellence or innovation, shown the way in one area or another, such as news coverage, circulation, design, diversity or online." more ›

Yesterday, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request on behalf of local students groups at Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz to see just why the Penagon was spying on them. Joining them in the law suit was our very own San Francisco Bay Guardian, going after more dragons to slay besides PG&E and Craig, as well as Quaker organizations. Yeah, Quakers. Why do Quakers hate America? Is it all that pacifism, tolerance, and yummy cereal? more ›

Pigeons - with their penchant for cooing, darting, eating garbage, and soiling cars and innocent passersby-may comprise the biggest bird population in the City, but they aren't the only avian species around. The most famous are the wild parrots, which have been extensively documented by local birder Mark Bittner on his website and in his recently published book The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. (A handy tip: The red-headed parrots are the Telegraph Hill mob; the other flock, which are mostly green with a white patch on the wing, hang out around Dolores Park.) more ›
