Actually, this is some good news: Wired News just reported about the San Francisco Department of Public Health's finding that speed use among SF gays and SF-native Stephanie Tanner has decreased over the past three years. (Is there some alternative, slimming drug out there that no one's told us about? We kid.) Although the department claims that this new baggie-free lifestyle is due "to successful public health campaigns," drug use outside of crystal meth......

We learned about sex from Judy Blume's Forever and the pr0n mags the poorly-supervised kids down the street stole out of their dad's closet. We can think of a lot -- we mean a lot -- of mistakes we would have avoided if we'd had access to a program like SexInfo, the new sex information text-messaging program launched by the San Francisco Department of Health.

Oooooh, your Junkie loves to vote. We vote for everything: national elections, state elections, local elections, CNN QuickPolls, the SFGate Question, BizRate surveys about our Priceline experiences, those "How'd We Do?" cards where you rank things on a scale of 1 to 5 -- we are all about letting your voice be heard!
So of course we're totally psyched about the mock election the San Francisco Department of Elections is throwing! Get your franchised self down to the basement of City Hall on or before August 12 and help them test out their disability access polling machines! There's two types of touch screens, with breath-voting capability ("sip-puff" machines, they're called. Heh heh. Sip puff.), foot pedals, and audio aids.
So what are you voting for? Well, keeping it nonpartisan, the Dept. of Elections has selected the categories of: best flower, best animal, and best San Francisco attraction. Aw, come on!! If you're voting in the Dept. of Elections mock election, you want to vote for something sexier than that! So.... in honor of the Dept. of Elections, SFist and your Political Junkie are rolling out our own mock election: Hottest SF Supervisor!!!!!
Vote after the jump! ...

BoingBoing's David Pescovitz recently posted a call for models by his friend Richard Hansen. And when we say "models" we mean "people with penises," since Richard is working on a book project about everyone's favorite cut of man-meat. Seeking men of all sizes, shapes and colors to model their penis for an upcoming art photography book project. This creative project seeks to show what men really look like down there--how we're so very different,......

Art critic and photographer Claudine, who has been something of a modern-day Chalfant or Ahern by cataloging photos of graffitti pieces throughout the city, left a comment in our Get Ur Geek On: Warbussing EssEff piece where we had posted a picture of his trademark frog on the mural space at Galeria de la Raza. She tipped us to a debate about the piece over at Flickr brought on by a posting at the......
