Special Election is Back On

San Francisco supervisors proved their penis was bigger than Gavin Newsom's, at least for now, when they overrode the mayor's veto, setting the stage for special election to take place on June 2. To no one's surprise, Supervisors Sean Elsbernd and Carmen Chu voted against the override. (God. Yet again, this entire civic thing, if you will, reeks of us vs. them -- that there is your news story -- so forgive us if we sit under the bleachers putting on another coat of black eyeliner while lighting up a clove cigarette. Ugh. Also, this election is about taxes. Which? Zzzz. Only little people pay taxes, folks.) While the election is "expected to cost the city $3 to $4 million," San Francisco faces a ginormous $576 million budget deficit.
