Created by yours truly at ACME ChuMaker.It's all the terrible truthIt just ain't a San Francisco event until Frank Chu lopes up, toting his sign. It doesn't matter if it's an SEIU picket, a Holocaust remembrance ceremony, or a sale at Ross -- all that's important to Chu is that he can wave his bizarre message in front of the masses and spread the truth: While he was the prince of China, several former U.S. presidents in
cahoots with the CIA and 12 galaxies used mind-controlling drugs to

The great thing about San Francisco is that on any given day, you can go for a leisurely stroll in say, Union Square. And, right after the people in tin foil hats leave, the crowd of cyclists dressed as dapper dandies shows up. I say, old chap.People carrying protest signs (Who Are These Goons?) and wearing hats of all varieties crafted from the crazy persons' preferred material to accompany their strange outfits (one guy was sporting a cape made from what appeared to be a little girl's plastic
Like a Vaudeville act of old getting ready to take it to New York City, today's protester has got to ask himself if he's ready for the big time when he comes to San Francisco. We've got no shortage of expert, home-grown demonstrators, and budget season has distilled the best of the best. So, were a few hundred Central Valley agricultural advocates steamed over a lack of available water up to the task? Our snap judgment is -- not exactly. Ostensibly here to buzz Sen. Dianne Feinstein's office y
Say what?Remember, in England, Benedict Arnold is a hero. That helps put one in mind for the just-unveiled exhibition at the Burbank Central Library -- enemy territory, sports-wise -- "Love to Hate: The Dodgers-Giants Rivalry."Library-goers can be treated to memorabilia like the signs illustrating this story: One reads "The stinkin' Giants -- Give Em The Big Blue Finger -- Put Em in the Fog" (no clue) and the other says "Baghdad By the Bay ... In the Past They Stole Our Signs -- Back to Alcat

Francisco for a month. A lady in a wool cap comes out to the patio, pushing a wheeled cooler, hawking tamales. How sweet is this, you think -- not just because you're drunk, but also because you're from Ohio, and you've never seen anything like it before. You enjoy a tamale. The next time you see her, you're at another watering hole, and you're equally stoked. How
Shuffling dejectedly out of AT&T Park last night, Giants fans were left to ponder many pressing questions -- perhaps none more mysterious than what, exactly, prompted someone to commission a message on the stadium board reading "I'm Sorry, Kim. I Love You!" Baseball-wise, the situation was just as grim. You don't like to hear the terms "back spasms" and " 25-year-old" in the same breath, especially when that 25-year-old is Tim Lincecum. Without a healthy staff ace, this team and its anemi
Warren Hellman may have fancied himself opening up America's hearts to music with his bigger-than-ever, three-day Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival. He also helped famed San Francisco eccentric Frank Chu open city visitors' minds to opaque theories about an alleged intergalactic political conspiracy.

Joe EskenaziIt's big, uh-uh, Muni's not ashamed. Big like a pickle, and Muni's still gettin' paid.San Francisco is a city in which a significant portion of leadership probably can't watch Robocop without thinking "That ED-209 had promise; we could use one of those." So it probably didn't sit well with everyone that the hot new method of keeping motorists from mowing down pedestrians disembarking from Light Rail Vehicles announced by Muni on Friday was ... wait for it ... a bumper sticker!
On Wednesday, the latest in a batch of Republican political neophytes expressed his desire for high-ranking political office in California. Damon Dunn, the former Stanford and NFL receiver and current Orange County real-estate mogul, said he plans to run for Secretary of State.But as the San Francisco Chronicle reported, there's already one obvious problem with Dunn's candidacy, and it's a big one: Despite aspiring to an elected position in which his duties would include administering state elec
