The San Francisco Citizen

Mayor Gavin Newsom could be found listing heavily to port today due to having a little back trouble. How did it happen this time? He thinks it all began a couple weeks ago when he helped his fiance, Women’s Independent Cinema founder Jennifer Siebel move some stuff around.

He gradually managed to right himself over the period of a news conference and he remained chipper throughout. Perhaps he knows that 90% of all back problems take care of themselves over a few weeks or months.

Old ideas about needing bed rest have gone by the wayside - anti-inflammatories (plus lots of water to make things easier on your liver and kidneys) are usually all you need. Drs. Jimmy Connors and Jim Kelly wouldn’t steer you wrong.

Jim Dolan will be one of the scores of people to carry the Olympic torch on the streets of San Francisco.

Check out his Coca Cola red shirt complete with trademark Spencerian script. (His Samsung pennant and IBM/Lenovo baseball cap must have gotten lost in the mail.)

Do you think some people will try to “disrupt” his run by holding up signs and placards that mention Darfur, Tibet, and Burma? Maybe, but he looks like he’ll be able to handle it.
