Heeee's Back!!!

Gavin Newsom's Valentine's Day stalker, Han Shin appeared in court to answer the charges that he tried to run over the roommate of a friend shortly after Newsom got that stay-away order from him too.

You may recall, Shin showed up at his friend's house unannouced one morning. Learning that his friend wasn't home from the roommate and cousin. Shin kicked in the door and chased the roommate around the house. He then grabbed the roommate's framed picture of Gavin Newsom!

Finally, the roommate was almost run over when attempting to get Shin’s license plate number. Shin accelerated towards the roommate and on to the lawn (3 times), and then jumped out of the car to give chase to the cousin. The cops found Shin in a closet with a bunch of Newsom paraphernalia, and when they tried to take him in, Shin punched the cop in the face.

Good stuff.

Gavin Newsom Drops Jennifer for Daphne Zuniga

SFist reports Mayor Gavin Newsom clipped actress Jennifer Siebel, to the editing room floor; and rumor has it that Jennifer's gal pal, Daphne Zuniga, of Melrose Place fame has been auditioning for the new role of Gavin Newsom’s love interest.

However, Luke Thomas at Fog City Journal says not so fast ladies. Jennifer texts:

"Of course we haven't split. What's wrong with SFist? I have been in Los Angeles working on a TV show. I am with him [Newsom] right now."

Here's a photo of the couple attending the 2007 green cross millennium awards at the Ritz Carlton on June 9, 2007 in Marina Del Ray, California. We’ll keep combing the society columns to post the very latest scoop on the mayor's newest love triangle. Stay tuned.

Ruby Tourk: Hits Rock Bottom & Best Seller

Of course, you remember Ruby Tourk - the women Gavin Newsom can’t forget. Rather she resurfaces with occasional flare-ups like a bad case of herpes to remind the "Love ‘em & Leave ‘em" Mayor of his February 1st, News Conference in which he admitted to having an affair with his Appointments Secretary Ruby Rippey-Tourk who was married to Alex Tourk, Newsom’s close friend and campaign manager.

While both, Alex (resigned) and Ruby (rehab) fled the scene, Newsom stuck around, apologizing for his indescretions and announcing he was also getting counseling for alcohol problems. However, Newsom’s counseling amounted to no more than few uncomfortable conversations with family friend, Mimi Silbert, head of San Francisco's famous Delancey Street Foundation. Meantime, Ruby actually did complete an on-site alcohol treatment program. and she's writing about it.

"I don't know if I would use the word 'counseling,' but I will be helping the
mayor."

The I-Team has learned Ruby Tourk has written at least two chapters of a self-help book, and is shopping the project to local publishers. Sources say Tourk writes about “hitting rock bottom with Newsom after 20 years of alcoholism and coke use”, and that she hopes to use the mayor’s name recognition to sell books.

National Guard Deployed To San Francisco

At the request of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, California Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger activated the National Guard in an effort curb a city-wide homeless epidemic and stymie a potential outbreak of AIDS, TB and Malaria in areas surrounding Golden Gate Park, the Tenderloin and Civic Center neighborhoods, as well as BART Malls along Market Street (Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell and Civic Center). Schwarzenegger said in a statement:

"I have ordered the deployment of troops to high-risk locations to respond to this threat and protect the public. Federal law enforcement will be working in concert with local agencies to house, feed, clean and administer medical care to the homeless within quarntine camps throughout the city."

Some 300 Guard troops were outfitted with Bio-Hazzard protective gear and Madvac 101 All Wheel Drive Outdoor Vacuums designed to hold up to 120 Gallons of litter. Hundreds of tons of essential medicines and medical supplies as well as tents and camping equipment have been arriving through out the day awaiting transport by convoy to their assigned destinations this evening. Homeless camp construction is already underway in Cow Hollow, Russian Hill, Presidio Heights, Sea Cliff, Nob Hill, Ingleside Terrace, The Marina District and Pacific Heights.

Everyone Hates Chris

In the Far, Far, Far Left (the building) corner, clad in Green tights and representing the beautiful Tenderloin is District 6 Bleeding-Panty, Pretender - Boy Robin in the Hood aka Everyone Hates Chris Daly challenging the slightly more moderate Bevan Dufty of District 8.

Apparently, Humpty Dumpy Daly is still Grumpy about his big fall as well as not getting seconded for his budget motion. He was going back and forth with Dufty, until Dufty finally said:

"For someone who sees himself as the strongest opponent to the mayor, you've done more to re-elect him than everyone in this room combined."

Daly sought to retaliate towards the end of the meeting, approached Dufty in a menacing way. Dufty responded by calling Daly "a third-grade bully."

"Why don't you just do what you want to do? Why don't you just punch me in the face?" - Bevan Dufty

Board President, Aaron Peskin, then had to restrain Daly.

Daly's calling it a "nonissue," and Peskin described it as a "sidebar spat," saying, "I'm not proud of it, but it's not the end of the world" -- even though Tom Ammiano said it seemed threatening, and Jake McGoldrick was sufficiently worried that he mentioned something to the sheriff.

SFPD: Drug-Related Homicides Up 20%

The SFPD reports that drug-related homicides are up 20% (15 for the year so far, compared to only 13 all year in 2006), spontaneous violence is up, and fatal stabbings are up (10 for the year so far, as opposed to 8 all last year).

Instead of a having CSI Detectives like Gav Girl Sofia Milos dust for clues to solve another who dunnit? - who cares? caper, let's put a cop on every block to prevent homicides before they start - more cops, less riff-raff. As of yesterday for 2007, we're at 54 murders (45 at this point last year).

Gavin Newsom played it conservative when he appeased liberals appointing Heather Fong to Police Chief. Yet, he can ill afford to flow with status quo. Should the San Francisco Mayor hope to hold a bigger office, he'll have to start cleaning up The City and stop Aiding and Abetting future rivals with sound bites such as these dissapointing SFPD statistics. Headlines can and will be used against him!

The report didn't say anything about non-fatal violence, though the CBS 5 and ABC 7 Bay City News, briefs are not good.
