Your Junkie tries a hand at some slash fiction, SF politics style! We're no KWillets, but we'll do our best. An excerpt from our torrid San Francisco romance novel, "One Carlton B. Goodlett Hall, Room 200." Chapter LXVIII: That's The Way I Roll: Spent, Chris turned to Gavin and ran his fingers through his hair. I need a napkin now, Chris thought. He pushed that thought away. He and Gavin looked so good together, spooned together on that plush Oriental rug. Why were they fighting again? He couldn't remember. How could he remember the nice details of a budget spat, when Gavin smelled so good? "Chris," Gavin rasped. "Chris. I can't believe it's been two years since we've talked. I miss you. I miss your big strong arms holding me." Inwardly, Chris sighed. Was it always going to be like this between them? Hate turning to love, which then so rapidly turned back into hate? Well, at least the love would taste that much better as a result. "You didn't tell me. I didn't know you needed that money for the police academy. You never tell me anything." Chris felt Gavin's body tense. "You're the one that never talks to me! Come by anytime! I told you, I have an open door policy with the supervisors. Open the door!" Chris smiled. "Oh, I'll use your open door policy." He pulled Gavin back down to the floor. How were relations between Chris and Gavin that day? "Cordial, yes. Productive? It remains to be seen."

Everybody may or may not hate Chris Daly, but we all agree -- everybody looooooves little Jack! Your Junkie's Best Celebrity of 2005, resplendent in his orange Che Guevara onesie, graciously received guests and some indulgent knee-bouncing as his hard-working daddy mixed drinks on a bar that might just very well be the very same desk at which he pens his blistering e-missives to Mayor (and constituent?) Gavin Newsom. Last Friday, Chris Daly's office hosted an opening party for their ongoing art exhibition of Mark Ellinger's photographs of Tenderloin and SoMA SROs. (The picture at the right is "Forgotten," from the exhibition.) Of course we stopped by -- dragging SFist Eve along with us! As we arrived, those in the know informed us that we had just missed Daly throwing Luke Thomas from the Sentinel out of the party -- but the bouncer/bartender/host seemed in a remarkably good mood when we saw him, greeting constituents and mixing up martinis and bourbon-based drinks like a pro. And extra style points for the keg in the corner -- when we saw it, we noticed ourselves reflexively crouching down into our trademark pre-headstand stance. Man, it's been how long since college? A framed copy of the SF Weekly's "Worst Local Politician" award, a list of the books on Daly's shelf, and action photos of District 6's finest mixing a drink to order, after the jump! Picture by Mark Ellinger. The show is ongoing in Daly's office through this month in City Hall Room 273.

We're so excited! We've never actually known someone we've written about in the Political Junkie column before! Usual Suspects is reporting that 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goolett Place is abuzzzzzzzz with the word that GavNew's going to appoint Phil Ting to Mabel Teng's former assessor/recorder position. Phil's the current executive director of the Asian Law Caucus, but we actually know Phil because he and your Junkie were in a Mandarin Chinese class together at a jointly-shared institute of higher education! Your Junkie was hung over through a large number of those classes but nonetheless remembers that Phil was always very attentive and had good pronunciation. (Who knew he had all that real estate experience?) Could Newsom be appointing Phil (who we've always thought of as progressive) to try and forestall Sandoval in the November 2006 assessor's election? Is Newsom trying to get Phil out of the way for the District 4 run that Phil was going to make? Is Newsom trying to get Building Inspection Commission Phil out of trouble with the land use crowd? Or is Newsom trying to make sure that Chris Daly doesn't appoint public-power Phil to the PUC board when Newsom goes on vacation? So many things to think about! Especially since everyone else in our Chinese class just went to medical school or something. If the rumors are true -- congratulations, Phil! We can't think of a nicer person to sign San Franciscans' marriage licenses.
