Mission Mission

A tipster fills us in:

There’s a teabagger type guy, with a hitler-moustached obama poster outside the south van ness post office @ 23rd.

This is not the first time that the Obama haters have come into the Mission, but it is the first time they have not been hiding under the cover of darkness.  Clearly they are becoming more emboldened by the health-care profiteers’ propaganda and Glenn Beck’s consistent opposition to the healthcare bill.

Did anyone get a picture?

Handjobbin’ over the weekend took its favorite Mission print publication on a camping trip.

Burn!

Busted!

Romenesko, everyone’s favorite media nerd blog, today points us to a tale of woe. Local hero Phil Bronstein was apparently this close to convincing Hunter to cover the O.J. trial. But, alas, it was not to be.

Makes sense. SFist has the scoop here.

Violet Blue at the SF Appeal today outlines how a recent piece by Matt Smith at SF Weekly is unbalanced and irresponsible, and responsible for a loss of funding at neighborhood business Kink.com.

Blue, in addition to asserting that the Weekly might should be lumped in with mainstream media, offers testimony from parties in the kink community offended by Smith’s slant:

Lorelei Lee responded to Smith’s accusations saying, “Mr. Smith’s repeated use of the terms ‘torture’ and ‘impalement’ to describe BDSM and dildo play demonstrates a total lack of understanding for the respectful, consensual, pre-negotiated, intimate, and often-joyful interaction that is BDSM.”
