'90s Style Icons: the TeletubbiesAre the '90s back already? If so, is it too soon? After all, we can think of several dubious trends from that decade - grunge 'uniforms' (flannel shirts and scruffy faces), sugar-coated teenie pop (think Britney Spears, 98 Degrees, 'N Sync, Backstreet Boys), stomach tattoos ( i.e. Tupac's "Thug Life"), Thighmasters, "the G-Funk Era," Cross Colors, Kriss Kross, extra extra baggy day-glo raver pants, "mobb music," acid jazz, big floppy hats (a la Jamiroquai)
So, we weren't at all surprised to see the above headline, "San Francisco restaurants appeal to Supreme Court." After all, with so many great restaurants to choose from, why shouldn't the local fare be appealing to our highest court?

Anti-war activists ignored Saddam Hussein's horrendous crimes against ordinary Iraqis. Do they have anything -- beyond anti-Bush demonstrations -- to offer the oppressed in Iran and Syria?
Last year, SF Weekly's John Geluardi profiled the curious case of "Dr." John Getzow. It turned out that Getzow didn't have a license to practice medicine in this state -- but he did have a trail of evictions going back to the George H.W.

Court papers indidcate Getzow was sued by yet another peeved landlord in March; a settlement hearing is scheduled for Wednesday and, barring a last-
Be sure to tune into "Forum" tomorrow morning (88.5 FM) at 9 a.m. and hear our very own Joe Eskenazi talk about his provocative feature on wacky -- and sometimes temperamental -- service animals, "Service With a Snarl." We're not sure who the other guests will be. We hope they are better-trained than some of the pets described in the piece -- a bipolar man's Chihuahua even bit Joe during an interview. So while no animals were harmed in the writing of this story, a reporter was.

No one is allowed in to see the hi-jinks of the old boys club inside the Bohemian Grove, but we certainly can see the oddities going on outside of it, thanks to these photos on NorCalTruth.org.The rich and powerful of the WASPy Bohemian Club reported for aging frat boy duty last weekend to the Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County. The San Francisco-based club's annual gathering pulls in the likes of Henry Kissinger, George H.W. Bush, and Jimmy Buffett to frolic amid the redwoods each July, to get bac
We're not exactly unaccustomed to paranoid political thinking in the pages of our rival weekly here in San Francisco. But the journos at the Bay Guardian have taken their conspiracy theories to new levels -- and depicted them in bolder-than-ever graphics -- in this week's issue.Appearing alongside an article by Guardian reporters Rebecca Bowe and Sarah Phelan about the "media machine behind the assault on progressive ideas" is a spiderweb conspiracy chart that puts John Nash's scribblings in A B
