-- Steroid report reported. [SFGate]

The airtight smiles. Awesome. For those of you somehow not tempted into becoming a part of Van Santian art -- or, you know, if you sport a vagina -- might we suggest catching round II of the Leno vs. Migden smackdown? Sponsored by the Harvey Milk Club, this meeting is sure to ruffle a few plumes and have local politicos affectedly scratching their chins for days to come. That's right, kids, it's on. It is...

After last week's dueling press conferences and memo-leakage, the Homeless issue is becoming the Issue du Jour, leading to a full-fledged reporter dogpile. First came CW Nevius who weighed in with yet another story on the issue, this time saying that even in liberal, tolerant, San Francisco, residents might not be feeling so liberal and tolerant when it comes to dealing with the homeless. As evidence, he points to one of those online polls SFGate ran about the issue in which 90% of the people said they wanted something to be done. We, as a rule, hate those "polls" because it's actual scientific value is nil as it's all determined by people who were motivated enough to play along and doesn’t factor in those who were too lazy to.

What a day, what a day, what a day...

An illustrated discussion of the intersection at Fell and Masonic.

Last week's winner, as picked by SFist Sarah -- the Bay Guardian! Steven T. Jones takes over the opening editorial from Tim Redmond this week. It does not mention Burning Man! Recalls go too far. Club 6 -- still open. Why can't the Chron make money? Now serving at Cafe Gratitude: "I Am....Sued." San Francisco water may be causing rashes. Thank goodness Ed Jew doesn't have to worry about that! (okay, to be fair, we're sending the water all over the area so it might be in the Burlingame system too). Cover: Marke B's Club Guide, a glossy insert. Cute picture of bears! (picture not online.) Goth band comes to town. K Records founder Calvin Johnson has a retro haircut. And Frameline! Oh yeah -- and vote for us for best blog in the Best Of!

Day II after the Critical Mass incident, we're seeing the bikers weigh in with their version of what happened and also some thoughts on the matter from Gavin. We're also seeing a lot of hate out there thrown in every direction as the war between bikers and car drivers is one of the hottest of hot button issues in this city.

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly: Gosh, the Chron seems awfully enthralled with that Zodiac movie, doesn't it? Also, more on the Leno/Migden throwdown, quoting Paul Hogarth from Beyond Chron (who now supports Leno). Cover article: An awesome piece about mentally ill dogs. Who knew bordie collies got OCD? Meredith goes to the Presidio Social Club; SFist Ced gruffly concedes maybe she's been doing a good job lately. Let's Get Killed laments the new boring indie rock. Speaking of rock, why's the Clipse so into cocaine? And another independent magazine (Arthur, an indie rock anarchist publication) bites the dust.

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. What do Carter and Bush have in common? Problems with Schwarzenegger's health insurance plan. Someone missed the sarcasm in Tim Redmond's column about wifi. Steven T. Jones is working hard this week, covering not only Fake Question Time on the blog but also the trademark fight over Burning Man. Cover article: There's only six quail in the Presidio now, and they're all male. Is the Presidio like the Castro for quail? Sonic Reducer on the careerism in pop. Hey, Pee Wee Herman's coming to Amoeba on the 21st for a DVD signing. New fancy restaurant in the Presidio. Is quail on the menu? And David Cross's horoscope: He's reached the end of a wicked stressful cycle! We hope we didn't contribute to that.

Last week's winner, the San Jose Metro. Gary Singh infiltrates a ladies' drinking circle, while Chuck Reed goes drinking with the Merc News. Do note, Gavin Newsom, that Reed only drank two bottled waters the entire night. Cover article: Making Redwood City fun again (land use edition). Italian food in Los Gatos. Lemon trees in winter. Women chanters. A review of the Justin Timberlake show. And the Straight Dope: are the magnetic poles going to flip?

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.

On Friday, the Warriors announced their biggest signing of the year so far, agreeing to a 10-year, $30 million naming rights agreement with free agent multinational software corporation Oracle. The new name of the erstwhile Oakland Arena? Oracle. No, not The Oracle, just Oracle. (The Oracle would actually be pretty cool, although given the team's draft history, brutally ironic.)

to the success of their Oracle OpenWorld convention that they entirely shut down Howard Street between Third and Fourth to traffic, because they need the space for their caterers. You're going to make caterers make canapes on the street, Larry Ellison?

Congratulations to Supervisor Bevan Dufty and his opposite-sex gay partner Rebecca Goldfader, on the birth of their daughter Sidney Maely Goldfader-Dufty on Monday! (You may remember that Dufty and Goldfader are both gay and continue to see same-sex partners, but have decided to co-parent Sydney together.) Just two days before Kimberly Guilfoyle! Sidney's 6 pounds 9 ounces, the family is doing well, and Bay Guardian political editor Steven T. Jones had no involvement in the editing of the story.

Guess who got endorsed on the cover by last week's winner, the Bay Guardian? Where's the green beads, Chris? Letters about fixie bikes, and Tim Redmond notes that Renee Saucedo shouldn't have endorsed Prop 90 (the overbroad eminent domain one). Dan Noyes, gadfly. Also endorsed by the Guardian: Phil Angelides, Jerry Brown, Leland Yee, Barbara Lee, and Krissy Keefer. And Steven T. Jones had nothing at all to do with their endorsement of Alix Rosenthal. Did he have anything to do with the Alix flyer inserted in the paper? Sonic Reducer brings sexy back. Marke B had a nice time at the Love Parade. L.E. Leone's friend Carrie is moving to New York. And Gavin Newsom's horoscope: He is classically associated with the arts.

Last week's winner, the Bay Guardian. The theme of the Local News section is "Editor's note: Alix Rosenthal [District 8 candidate] is the domestic partner of Guardian city editor Steven T. Jones. Jones did not participate in the assigning, writing, or editing of this story," as the Guardian weighs in on both the Castro Halloween fight and an update on the Pendulum. Also, Chris Daly can't get any documents under the sunshine laws either. Why didn't they interview Alix Rosenthal on that issue too? Steven Jones could have just taken the week off! A loaded term (starts with a p, is a synonym for cat) is used to describe the local music scene in an article about loud all-female band 16 Bitch Pile-Up. Cover article: horror movie The Descent. And SFist Eve's horoscope: don't end up like those Girls Gone Wild.

While doing our standard election-night browsing, we dropped by the Guardian to see if any late reports were filed online -- but the site was down! Details at this point are still very, very sketchy, but the initial report from Steven T. Jones suggests foul play:

Maybe there is something to this 6/6/06 numerological weirdness after all. The mood seems dark and sinister for an election day. And it was certainly some devilish characters who have shut our Web site down all day with a denial of service attack. We don't know which ones, but the likely suspect list should start with those affiliated with candidates that we didn't endorse in close races: Fiona Ma, Mike Nevin, Lillian Sing, Steve Westly, and the downtown players gunning for Chris Daly's propositions. I'm not accusing anyone of anything. I'm just saying it was someone, and probably someone who knows how influential Guardian endorsements have been in the past.

This week's comics, courtesy of Isotope, involve a boy motivated by his love for God, a man motivated by a threat to his wife, and a group of kids motivated by sex. Yep, God, violence, and sex -- honestly, what other reasons are there for doing anything? Let's start with Steven T. Seagle and Becky Cloonan's "American Virgin," because that was our favorite. Adam's a charismatic college kid on a mission from God: to convince America to stop slutting around so much. He's got an earnest doe-eyed emo sort of vibe that totally suckers in the young hipsters -- he's even able to halt a rape just by making some sensitive noises about commitment and specialness. So, he's like a superhero whose power is stopping you from getting laid -- just what the world was waiting for, right?

Trent Reznor's favorite scents? Tell us!) And the Gossip, on week two of their takeover of Bay Area alternative media.
