Ah, what's in a word?

Interesting story in Saturday's Tribune by David Sneed, about the Coastal Commission latest hearing of an appeal to revoke the sewer project's permit on account of claims that the commission's original approval "was based on false information from the county and state water officials."

The Tribune reported that Dan Carl, the commission's Central Coast regional director, said "he could find no evidence that the commission was intentionally misled."

Commissioner Jana Zimmer of Santa Barbara is further quoted as saying, of the revocation request, "I think it's really inappropriate to infer that the staff was bamboozled in any way." 

Does anybody but me find it deliciously funny that "unintentionally misled" is O.K. with the Commission while "intentionally misled" is a no-no?  I always thought misled was misled.

And as for Ms. Zimmer, I will have to presume she is unfamiliar with the infamous Coastal Commissioner who famously talked about "bait and switchy" at an earlier hearing.  When did "bait and switchy" separate out from "bamboozled?" I always thought if you had been bait and switched, you had been bamboozled.

Well, who knew?

Tuesday night, June 19th,  at the Los Osos Middle School from 7 - 9 pm. the county will be holding a public outreach meeting to begin to get information out on the construction schedule.

Chugga, chugga.  Bait and Switchy Train's now out of the station.  Unintentionally.  Woooo, Wooo.

Lynette,

What I wrote last night was far from an "attack," as you call it. You put yourself out there. You will be criticized for your words and actions. If you don't like it, don't blog. Don't say anything at all.

Because you don't take the anonymous seriously -- and for good reason -- I'm not going to engage in any dialogue that's meaningless. I'll take my ideas to the court of public opinion, a place where you're not allowed to do what you do on here.

Yes, I HAVE noticed that I am criticized for my words over these past six years that I have been blogging! Oh, not liking it means that I can't blog anymore? Really?

Meaningless dialogue? That is what this has been about all along - you are just now getting that?

Well, cool. By all means, head out to that court of public opinion, but this blog is public in case you forgot about that. Really, there have been a LOT of opinions flying around in here don't you think? What do I type in here that I wouldn't or already have said out there?

BTW, when you head out to that court - do you plan on using your real name or still go by anonymous?
