By Benjamin Wachs San Francisco has managed to come out of the most hopeful election in US memory more divided than ever. It’s not because Prop 8 passed – everybody loses at some point in a Democracy. It’s because our search for someone to blame has now got us hating each other even more than we did two weeks ago. Instead of using this loss to reflect on ways we can build better, stronger, more vibrant movement and establish new connections, our very first reaction … right out
November 17, 2008SF Gov InAction: Peskin Settles Score with Alioto-Pier
By Benjamin Wachs There is one meeting happening this week. On Tuesday, at 10 a.m., the Rules Committee (which, at this point, is Chris Daly and Bevan Dufty) will be getting together to discuss proposed appointments to the Historical Preservation Commission and the Small Business Commission. They'll also discuss a measure to keep the current taxi fares and "gate cap" fee and scrap a scheduled increase in both. I have to admit, I didn't see this coming. It's proposed by Daly and Aaron P
December 29, 2008Political Satire, Like Prostitution, is Being Ruined By Amateurs
THIS is how you make fun of progressive supervisors! I have a message for the four new Supervisors: Hello. My name is Benjamin. And my job is to say much, much, funnier things about you than anybody did last night. Last night, of course, was the "Roasted Supes" party, which is a vaguely clever name, or "the People's Inauguration," which is not. It was supposed to be a roast, in which women close to the new Supervisors - former teachers, roommates, co-workers and wives - said funny th
January 9, 2009How Could Progressive Coalition Shatter? Let Us Count the Ways
Will it be the House of Harmony or the House of Pain? The answer is: Yes. Progressive Supervisors banded together last week to elect a compromise-candidate Board President, which raises a crucial question: "Since when have progressives compromised on anything?" In a town that views compromise as moral weakness (No Justice, No Peace), the fact that progressives were willing to make concessions to the people they hate most - each other - shows how concerned they are about their coalition fr

It's not often that self-respecting members of the Fourth Estate are drawn into lovers' tiffs with public officials in plain view. But such exchanges have apparently become the norm at the San Francisco Bay Guardian, where publisher Bruce Brugmann and executive editor Tim Redmond chose this week to accept Supervisor Chris Daly's invitation to a mudslinging match in the comments section of the alternative newsweekly's Web site. The Bay Guardian makes no secret of its activist approach to newspa

FacebookAugust Longo believes his criminal past will not influence the coming race for Democratic Party regional directorWhen Supervisor Chris Daly tossed his hat into the ring for the low-profile position of Democratic Party Regional Director earlier this week, much of the ensuing media coverage focused on Daly's history of polarizing and combative behavior. In short, was this man constitutionally capable of handling a job that, essentially, calls for him to bring together various segments of t
April 17, 2009Chris Daly: Proposed Charter Amendment to Defang Mayor's 'Non-Veto Veto' Stems From '07 Dustup
Supervisor Chris DalyYesterday, my colleague Benjamin Wachs said he wanted to give Chris Daly a hug due to the supervisor's long-overdue proposed charter amendment to confiscate one of the nastiest and most anti-democratic bullets in the mayor's bandolier. We won't go that far -- we think a hearty handshake is entirely appropriate -- but we agree with the sentiment. In San Francisco, it's entirely possible for the Board of Supervisors to pass a law calling for money to be spent on a program, hav
June 16, 2009Pride Rides: Leno, Mirkarimi Give Shout-Out to City Car Share, Daly Gives Us The Finger
There's no legal argument Dennis Herrera can make to convince us this car ain't a beaut...Yesterday we began answering the eternal question: If a tree fell in the forest and no one was there to hear it -- what kind of cars would your elected representatives ride in Sunday's Pride Parade? Our personal favorite thus far is Supervisor Eric Mar (and six other guys) riding on a seven-seat bicycle. Our second favorite, though is a tie between Senator Mark Leno and Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi. Both are s
June 25, 2009Is Chris Daly the Chief Martin Brody of San Francisco Politics?
Imagine, if you will, that Supervisor Chris Daly is Police Chief Martin Brody. We'll let you figure out who, in this analogy, the toothy fellow behind him is. Examples of Chris Daly behaving boorishly in the Board of Supervisors' chambers and embarrassing even his friends are as myriad as instances of folks in Daly's district behaving boorishly on the streets of the Tenderloin and embarrassing their friends. So when the District 6 supe publicly berated his pal and protege Supervisor John A
July 6, 2009Double (Entendre) Trouble: SFGate Headline Makes Odd Insinuation
Say what?Our most devoted readers may remember a post we did years ago regarding Chris Daly's bizarre facial hair and how the District 6 Supervisor needed to be installed atop the city's Weird Beard Committee, ASAP. We joked that the excitable Daly might storm out of a room when he found out he's not eligible for a Beard Award, which honor America's "culinary heritage and diversity." Meanwhile, the Chronicle today reported that Chef Nate Appleman -- who does have a Beard Award -- is abruptly sto
July 15, 2009San Francisco Has a Budget -- and Chris Daly Has Left the Building
Once more, for old time's sake. Lost somewhere between the news of Sacramento's impending raid upon municipal revenue streams and President Obama's comfy jeans, San Francisco's Board of Supervisors yesterday passed the city's contentious, agonizing $6.6 billion budget. This wasn't done without Supervisor Chris Daly's acknowledged "best friend" John Avalos -- whom he so designated during an awkward public browbeating/recitation of the second-most famous line from Jerry Maguire earlier this month
July 22, 2009Chris Daly Shows He's a Typical San Franciscan After All -- By Moving His Family Out of Here
The chores ...The stores ... Fresh air ...Union Square!The news that firebrand Supervisor Chris Daly has bought a house in his wife's hometown of Fairfield and his family is currently residing there comes as something of a shock. But the notion of a successful thirty-something San Francisco family up and moving with their young kids to a leafy green suburb with wide streets and basketball hoops over the two-car garages -- that's like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a rabbit hutch. Glancing
July 23, 2009Pick Your Favorite Chris Daly Anti-Suburb Quote!
Still a street fighter? The chattering classes are abuzz today with news that Supervisor Chris Daly, who has long portrayed himself as a dyed-in-the-wool urbanite for whom happiness is a treeless Tenderloin alley strewn with trash and needles,* has moved his wife and two children to a cozy cul-de-sac in suburban Fairfield. As SF Weekly Online News Editor Joe Eskenazi pointed out earlier today, there's nothing particularly unusual in this move -- well-educated do-gooders move here all the ti

Sorry, Chuck: No scoop for you! On Wednesday afternoon, Chronicle columnist C.W. Nevius e-mailed Supervisor Chris Daly asking him about the Fairfield home he had purchased in April. The email contained the exact address of Daly's new house. (In other words: Busted!) Daly didn't respond to Nevius. But later the same day he posted a statement on Fog City Journal disclosing that he and his wife had bought a house near his in-laws in the Solano County city. (As it turned out, the couple
July 24, 2009Ask a Stupid Question: San Francisco Business Times Queries Readers on Whether Chris Daly Should Resign
You say San Francisco Business Times readers would like to see Chris Daly leave? Thank you, Captain Obvious!In the most cynically skewed push poll since Pepsi unveiled the "America's Choice" cola taste test 22 years ago -- which was also, incidentally, the last time Bronson Pinchot could fill out "Celebrity Spokesman" on his tax return -- The San Francisco Business Times decided Chris Daly's suburban exodus was, in fact, its business. Let's put it this way: Daly isn't exactly going to invite
July 27, 2009In Praise of Chris Daly's Hypocrisy
Supervisor Chris DalyThose of us who don't fancy ourselves to be Che Guevara have had a lot of fun this past week attacking Chris Daly for being a hypocrite. Those of us who believe that someday we will lead the revolution have praised Daly by saying he remains ideologically pure. Both sides have got it all wrong. Chris Daly's hypocrisy is real -- yet praiseworthy. That's because, in a situation like his, the alternatives to hypocrisy are all so much worse. There's a word for som
July 27, 2009SF Gov inAction: All Chris Daly Jokes Must Now Be Translated Into Chinese, Spanish, and Tagalog Upon Request
There are only three meetings left standing this week: By contrast, four meetings were supposed to happen, but canceled. Is it just me, or are city hall meetings increasingly resembling network programming? "Well, we would LIKE to have a City Operations and Neighborhood Services Committee meeting, but we don't feel that Neighborhood Services appeal to educated males ages 17 to 34, so we'll just stick with reruns of our old City Operations instead." I guess that's what you get with a mayo

July 29, 2009One Reason NOT to Hate on the Dalys' Suburban Exodus
Chris DalySince news broke last week that Supervisor Chris Daly's wife and two children had pulled up stakes and moved to suburban Fairfield, where Daly has purchased two houses, the District 6 supe's detractors have had plenty to talk about. There's no denying that the Daly family's suburban exodus exposes a rich vein of hypocrisy. Much of Daly's political existence has been devoted to assorted anti-gentrification initiatives that have made the city safe for the poorest of the poor while spu
July 29, 2009Another Reason to Move the Kids to Fairfield: Sidewalks There Littered with Chalk Drawings, Not Porn
Chris Daly has been catching a lot of flak for moving his family out to the boring 'burbs so his kids can go to sleep to the sound of crickets instead of the homeless filling their shopping cart with bottles. Another possible reason for the move? The chances of your kid curiously picking up a postcard advertising a porn service decreases by at least a factor of three. We were just walking along the residential Mission streets, not thinking about anythi
July 31, 2009It's Official: Chris Daly Retains His San Franciscan Privileges
Chris Daly -- an official San FranciscanThe city attorney's office just announced that Supervisor Chris Daly is, in fact, still a resident of District 6 in San Francisco -- despite the fact that he and his wife are now the proud owners of two houses in Fairfield (where his wife and kids now reside). A 15-page memo explaining the decision states that the city attorney's investigation consisted of scouring Daly's 2008 tax returns, driver's license, car insurance, recent statements from his four
August 17, 2009Chris Daly Runs Afoul of Sunshine Ordinance Task Force -- Without Any Profanity Being Involved
This time, nobody's complaining about Chris Daly's language. You may love Chris Daly or hate him -- and there seem to be very few city denizens who are indifferent to the District 6 supervisor. But you can't deny that he has occasionally directed language toward the public during government meetings more akin to Raiders and Niners fans shouting it out in the parking lot. In 2004, Daly famously waded into the audience at a public hearing and told a landlord advocate to "fuck off." Fast-forward
September 15, 2009Chris Daly May Know a Lot about a Lot -- But He Doesn't Know Jack About SF Weekly
Chris DalyI want to thank Supervisor Chris Daly. I want to thank the man for forcing me to read through his turgid, 2,500-word polemic about supervisorial candidate Theresa Sparks and how "big money" has supposedly been showered upon this newspaper in return for a cover story. Now we know what it's like to be trapped in an office cubicle with Leon Trotsky on speakerphone. And if it takes this sort of inspiration to lead us to live more virtuous lives to avoid such a fate in the great beyond -
