Fisties all around, as we subjectively select the Bay Area's best: fancy restaurants, coffee, burrito, geekery, and music. Did we name your favorite? Other things we're thinking about this week: is gadfly on the fringes H Brown anti-semitic? What happens when you blog drunk? What's up with the SF cops these days? And RIP, Tookie Williams. And we started a new column! Send us your MUNI stories of the week and we'll publish the best/worst one on Saturdays! ...

Well, they executed Tookie Williams. He declined a last meal and ate the standard prison fare instead (mac and cheese and green beans), and it took him 36 minutes to die after the lethal injection. Stealing bikes from disabled kids! You're going to hell for that one! And speaking of going to hell, a woman in San Bruno was convicted of dragging a hapless Jehovah's Witness into her house last Christmas day and beating her with a butcher knife. The Jehovah's Witness rang the wrong doorbell (we'll say). At the sentencing, the defendant conceded that maybe she'd "overreacted," and that she's getting psychiatric help now. The NRA suffered a setback in their anti-Prop H litigation, as the appeals court tossed out their lawsuit and said to sue in the trial court instead. Didn't we say that too? ...

We know you're probably just dying to know what's been happening on all those fascinating news items we've been telling you about. Well, fret no more! Your prayers have been answered! Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval argued on behalf of himself yesterday that he shouldn't have to pay Don Fisher's political committee any more money. The judge seemed sympathetic to District 11's finest, calling Fisher's request "odd." Man, the New York Liquor Store in Oakland's having a bad week. Not only does it get targeted for vandalism by Your Black Muslim bakery, then set on fire, and then its owner gets kidnapped and left in a car truck, but now folks in the neighborhood are looting the charred, broken remains of the store. After agreeing to host a ping-pong tournament with Shanghai, Gavin Newsom travels to Beijing and checks out the Great Wall. Also -- dude, check him out playing basketball at Yao Ming's elementary school. What are those shoes? And Gavin, have you gotten us a panda yet? And Tookie Williams's request for a stay on his execution order was denied. Only Arnold Schwarzenegger can save him now. ...
