Monica Lewinsky's interest level in working for SF city government just went up a notch, as the SF Board of Supes overwhelmingly voted down Chris Daly's proposal to ban office affairs between supervisors and supervisees. (No, not affairs with supervisors like Chris Daly is a supervisor, affairs with supervisors like your boss. We could probably get a proposition on the ballot barring affairs between the San Francisco Supervisors and their constituents, though -- because, come on, ew.)

Noe Valley kids who were promised horses by Supervisor McGoldrick.) If only the proposition focused on something a little more practical for our urban youth.

In the spirit of Gavin's Question Time avoidance, and Rita's joyous/ugh mental image of Supervisor McGoldrick dancin' like a tutu-ed circus bear, we're bringing back SFist Answers. So! Do you have some answer that has eluded you for an annoying amount of time? Do you feel that you need some sort of advice? Do you need help with something? Would you like to know what not to do?

Ques-tion TIME! Ques-tion TIME!

You've gotta admire SFCityscape's Steve Boland for putting his money where his Muni-griping mouth is. While lesser sites (like SFist, we freely admit) are content just to bitch and moan about Muni, SF Cityscape wants to buy you a drink at Trad'r Sam.

The best roommate we ever had had a surefire (ha) way to summon a malingering Muni -- all he'd do was light a fresh cigarette and, like magic, the tardiest of busses would appear.

Oh, how to choose, how to choose. There are simply so many Movements in this town that it's only to be expected that some would utterly fail to have any impact whatsoever on our lives, other than giving us something to bitch about. For example, there was all that chatter a few months ago about banning pit bulls. And that citywide gun ban thingy that is probably, um, well, just a wee bit unconsitutional. And did you know, there's big-business-advocacy groups like SFSOS that want to see MORE cars downtown? Sure, that'll happen. And then there's folks like Jack Myers and Supervisor McGoldrick trying to delay the building of the Transbay terminal; their only impact on its construction will be to push it even MORE over budget. And the proposition about military recruiters not being welcome at state schools -- it's nonbinding and probably won't have any impact on recruiting, or gays in the military, or the war in Iraq. But it does provide us all with excellent new scenic overlooks of our own navels.

This shhhhh really is bananas! Just like Gwen Stefani, Supervisor Chris Daly stuck it to the student teachers (stomp stomp), getting ev'ryone riled up (stomp stomp). He ain't no hollaback supe -- he ain't no hollaback supe! So what's the hollering about? What's it always about? MUNI! So Daly, who's been on the forefront of protesting the MUNI fare hikes, made a routine motion to put off discussing the rollback in the parking fees so it could be discussed at the same time as the other MUNI budget objections he and the transit advocates wanted to make. Supervisor McGoldrick then said he wouldn't vote for the motion. "Are you kidding me?," our peroxide-blonde cheerleader ska-punk-pop princess said. Sandoval then said he wouldn't either. Response? "F*** that!" Bring it, Chris! Chanting, gavel-banging, and the cops get called, after the jump. Yeah!

It's been an action-packed week for the Bay Area movie world, hasn't it? Last Tuesday saw the triumph of all that was right in the world...HA! OK, not really. But it did see success in three battles when it came to Bay Area cinema. First was the failure of Proposition L. If you don't recall SFist Jon's deft description of this prop:

SFist has been following stories of our endangered local theaters. We've watched in despair as the last few years have seen the loss of the Alexandria, Regency, and Royal. And we've been even more dismayed by San Francisco Proposition L which, in the words of the San Francisco Chronicle,seeks to "allow a small, unknown group of theater advocates to take $10 million from the city's hotel tax revenues and allegedly use it to purchase movie theaters and to promote the local film industry." We have wondered "Why can't we just hang on to what we have?"
