SOB of the Week

ADAM EIDINGER, you overgrown emo loser with an insatiable need for the spotlight and too much time on your hands, you didn't do your side a favor yesterday. Instead of making a case against a government-sponsored stadium, you played right into the hands of the team owners by acting like a raving lunatic (although calling it "acting" would be a stretch) and losing a fight to a 76-year-old baseball announcer who hasn't had any baseball to announce since the Nixon administration.
Newsflash: Us stadium opponents are not all nutjobs who need to bum-rush a stage. We would prefer to work through the Council and the courts, where reasonable people engage in the political process. What we don't need is a failed candidate from a failed party with a failed haircut jumping around in front of the cameras to take the focus away from every study ever done on the shoddy economics of government-financed stadiums.
If you want to be a martyr and do some jail time, go right ahead -- we won't miss you. But please choose an issue that nobody cares about, like Green Party ballot access or something, and leave the important stuff to saner voices.
