It seems Jamie Pendleton has been his own worst enemy. The former bar owner drew intense criticism when he named a drink "Date Grape Koolaide" at his downtown bar, the Spokane Daiquiri Factory. He also used a local university's logo to promote the place, and got sued. He also used his estranged daughter's name (which is the same as his) on a business license without her knowledge. He's also reportedly opened bank accounts and credit cards in her name without her knowledge.

But that's not the end of the story for the Daiquiri Factory guy. He has now, from his jail cell in the Spokane County Jail, filed a lawsuit against the city of Spokane, naming Mayor David Condon all the way down to employees who write parking tickets. (Spokesman-Review)
