    Guardian Defends the Status Quo -- Again

    ​Whenever SF Weekly pens a cover story critiquing the inefficient, unaccountable nature of San Francisco's government, the Guardian can be counted on to spring forth with a spirited defense of the status quo.

    Dear Guardian: Since You Aren't Much Good At Making Fun of SF Weekly, We'll Do It For You

    Sorry, lady. We can't find the joke, either. Yeah, so, in the Guardian's April Fools issue this week, the SFBG attempts to be lighthearted and make fun of Gavin Newsom (fish in a barrel) and us -- and once again proves that progressives just aren't funny.
