Break for freedom! An ostrich escaped from a truck crossing the Golden Gate Bridge during yesterday's commute, much to the entertainment of everyone except its owner. There is certainly no denying that the picture is hilarious. That strip club Centerfolds was held up in an attempted armed robbery yesterday. Even though they didn't make off with any money, about five zillion cops showed up, including a SWAT team and a bomb squad -- just in case! "Ma'am, we'll need to do a verrrry thorough search." Hee! (Okay, to be fair, they thought the robbers might still be in the building, but come on -- hysterically funny to see a huge swarm of interested-looking cops congregating outside Centerfolds!) And there was a bomb scare in the Haight yesterday too, on a no. 7 bus.

The folks over at sfwall.net are abuzz (though not as abuzz as they've been about Supervisor Ackerman). Was it a failed joke by Daly? An uncalled-for attack? A relapse? Meanwhile, please pass the A1 steak sauce, please!

It seems that after contributing to Pat Murphy's San Francisco Sentinel for nearly five years, Jim Meko, of the SOMA Leadership Council, is taking his point of view elsewhere, much to the dismay of Mr. Murphy. What happened? SFist Jon found Mr. Meko's column on the Beyond Chron website, calling it "a rosetta stone of local politics," as it definitely had a lot of great anecdotes about the whys and wherefores of who hates whom around town. But we noted the following at the top:
