Slowest News Day in San Francisco History?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

This was the front-page, above-the-fold headline in the San Francisco Chronicle today. I like to imagine the editorial decision that led to this:

“Chief, I just heard on the wire! It’s foggy! In San Francisco!”

“What?! Stop the presses! This has pulitizer written all over it!”

I think this tops my previous favorite most pointless Chronicle headline, which was “Flash! Prince Makes No News!” which was basically about how Prince Edward had never really done anything particularly interesting, except maybe be gay. It took up a full page.

Made for a pretty picture, that’s fer sure.

Anyway, we have better things to talk about now.

3

IIRC, The SF Examiner used to publish Dear Abby on its Editorial Page.

Now THAT’S what I call a newspaper!

4

I thought this thread would be about this story. Not that I find it a non-story. But I know a lot of folks would think it silly that folks would contribute towards such a large reward. Myself, I’ve seen the security film, which sickens me, and think that this guy is a likely candidate to move on to killing people. I hope he gets caught, the asshole.

5

My eighth grade school newspaper was better than the freshly re-invented Examiner. Might still be, for all I know. They misspelled “San Francisco” for Og’s sake!

6

I think this may be my favorite sentence ever. And if I ever don drag again, I’ve found my name.

I kind of like this sentence too, because it sounds so dirty:

7

I don’t think fog is necessary for this.

8

It’s the “again” that intrigues me so … :wink:

9

I’d tell the story but I wouldn’t want to hijack the thread.

10

[sick joke ahead]

Maybe if someone did that to the fog, they could call it a bastard on the front page.

11

I wouldn’t want a fog story every month, but it’s not a bad little change of pace.

12

Oh my god! It’s foggy in the Bay Area?!?!? I’d better call my parents and make sure they’re okay!

13

I don’t get it.

14

linky.

15

Well, there’s also this. I wonder if Dianne Feinstein can return that $3 million?

16

And I thought it was going to be about dead zombie pirates out for gold. Feh.

17

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Hadn’t heard about that one.

You know, I heard an Italian proverb, awhile back: “If they don’t want it, they don’t deserve it.” :mad:

18

Yes, it seems like Stockton is more than happy to relieve SF of that “burden.”

:smack:

Fuckin’ idiots. Gah!
