Hookers and blow watch.

I blogged earlier this week about the latest developments in the SF Weekly/SF Bay Guardian newspaper war.

Eli Sanders in The Stranger has a good overview of the story for people who haven’t been following it from the start.

Lacey has noted that Brugmann, for all his independent talk, once had among the investors in his paper Donald Werby, a billionaire real-estate mogul who bankrolled the Church of Satan (“No, really,” Lacey wrote) and was indicted for paying off underage prostitutes with cocaine before dying in 2002. (“I missed the Bay Guardian’s coverage of their investor’s indictment on child prostitution charges,” Lacey added.)
