SF Jenna plays Huey AND Riley tonight! Cuz a little culture never hurt anyone.... Aaron McGruder at the JCC: Ever crack open the morning paper to catch up on the latest exploits of Huey and Riley, adorable inner-city youths exiled to the suburbs in The Boondocks? Even if you haven't read the recently-ended comic or seen the show, you've probably heard of cartoonist Aaron McGruder and the controversy swirling around his oft-politically charged work. Swing......

The Gavin Newsom Mea Culpa tour continues on as he put on his hair shirt on (with matching blue tie) and sat down with CBS 5's Hank Plante to talk about his rather crappy past couple of weeks. ...

So earlier today, we heard that Alex Tourk resigned as Gavin's campaign manager. It was a bit curious, a bit odd, but these things happen, although whenever somebody mentions that they are leaving for "personal reasons" the mind does tend to go to certain places. But no matter where your mind wandered, we have a feeling it didn't wander as far as what really happened because the Chron is reporting that Tourk quit mainly because Gavin had an affair with Tourk's wife, Ruby Rippey-Tourk. Rippey-Tourk (and woah, what a name) was Gavin's appointments secretary at the time....

Downtown is looking a little shut down today as those wacky Trotskyites broadly-arrayed leftists at A.N.S.W.E.R. are giving their answer to the Bush Surge (hey, that sounds like a video you can find at Good Vibrations) by protesting. All this is going down at Powell & Market where alarmed tourists are sure to thrill at some good old fashioned San Francisco Values. SFist Christopher is caught in the middle of it and sends photos......

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. Tim Redmond wants.... Ques-tion TIME! Ques-tion TIME! Also -- impeach! And be nicer to pigeons. Chris Daly likes putting city propositions on the ballot. Ed Jew -- get to know him now, since he didn't get any coverage during the election. A tattoo artist shot in the head in East Oakland. Buy a San Francisco Values t-shirt from the Guardian. Cover articles: The Year In Music (why the Bay......

-Bay Area officials race to spend Homeland Security funds before they lose it. Memo to officials: make check out to SFist.com. -Hit and run in Oakland kills one. -Effort to keep San Francisco schools ad free ain't as easy as it sounds. -Neither is keeping principals around. -Smelly things are not the only kinds of ads our transit systems won't run. -Nancy Pelosi to introduce some actual "San Francisco Values," wants to shut down smoking......

A "political cabaret" group called the Auditorials has written their own Capitol Steps-like tribute song to "San Francisco Values." We can't decide if this is frightening or hilarious! (Also -- special cameo appearance by Gavin Newsom's blue-and-white striped tie.)......

This week Newsweek hops on the "San Francisco Values" bandwagon with a story on Pelosi and what they refer to as San Francisco's "Loony Left." The story makes it seem like we're Nancy's redheaded stepchild. Oh wait, we're probably going to get a comment about saying something bad against redheads and stepchildren so we'll say crazy aunt instead. Oh now we'll get comments about discriminating against aunts and crazy people and, well, forget we even mentioned it. ...

We're going to post this now before the evil lawers at NBC demand it to be pulled down so they can keep it up on their crappy site. What we're posting is the opening skit of last night's "Saturday Night Live" (which was actually kind of funny-- loved the Britney skit). Basically, it's their take on "San Francisco Values" with attendant jokes about alternate life styles and political correctness. It's pretty funny and kind of cutting (a friend thought it was a little too cutting) but well, we liked it. ...

As we wrote before, you're staring to hear the phrase "San Francisco values" thrown around and around and not in a good way, more in a trying to scare the bejeesus out of Mr. and Mrs. Red State kind of way. But what exactly do people mean by "San Francisco values." ...

We won't say the Democrats are confident right now, but we hear Nancy Pelosi is already asking her staff to refer to her only as Madame Speaker, Ms. Speaker if you're nasty. Democrats are so confident these days that Kos himself weighed in yesterday to say that everyone is getting too confident. Hell, Democrats are so confident these days that they're starting to wonder if Nancy being in charge is really such a great idea. ...
