SFWeekly Digging the Dirt on Paul Addis

You know, it's sometimes really nice to take a stand about something, and then be vindicated. In my case, it was coming out and saying that I thought Paul Addis was a narcissistic jerk playing out his Hunter S. Thompson fantasies when everybody else I knew seemed to think that he was a provocative performance artist. When he was busted for his alledged attempt to "blow up" Grace Cathedral I felt a little pang of satisfaction, and now Sucka Free City in the SFWeekly has dug up some really interesting information about this local "hero;" first the restraining order placed against him for allegedly threatening students at Grace Prepatory School, and then charges of harassment and unlawful use of a weapon when he got pissed off with a hotel clerk in Seattle after his American Express card was refused. The paper wanted to talk with Addis about these past events, but his jailers have - quelle surprise - judged him "mentally unfit" to sign the waivers necessary to talk with the media. So, Chicken John, what do you think of your hero now?

RIGHT ON. Now watch all his too-cool-for-school supporters deny that they were cheering him on.

By the way, my captcha text (to post this comment) was "jdong". Ha!
