and it stoned me

Oh, the water
Get it myself from the mountain stream


now we know that the News-Press editorial duties are doled out to Lanny Ebenstein and Andy Caldwell which is pretty funny in itself..




between the two it appears that Lanny may be slightly more mature than Andy even though both are stooges..so it was left to Lanny to congratulate the SB Water Giardians for putting an anti-giardia initiative on the ballot...Lanny effusely praised the Water Giardians but politely suggested we vote the initiative down...contrast this with Andy's editorials calling the Water Giardians names and then chickening out of a debate that Andy challenged them to!! geez Andy, are you five years old???

but while Lanny played all nicey-poo, he claimed all oil production would be stopped if the measure passes proving once again that oil and water don't mix...

the Water Giardians sole purpose as I see it is to KILL GIARDIA BY BOILING the water before you drink it....giardia are anaerobic flagellated protozoan parasites and that spells trouble

I used to run up and down the Cold Springs creeks in the summer..no shirt, a bandana wrapped around my head and a survivor knife in my belt.. I was survivorman before there was a Survivorman....I'd see naked chicks sunning themselves on the rocks and it stoned me to my soul..stoned me just like jellyroll..it stoned me

once I stopped to check a hippie chick out and drank some water from the creek, you know to be all organic and cool..but then I got sick for a week! GIARDIA!! bad news..so I support the initiative to boil water before you drink it!

back to Lanny: twice in the editorial, he says "here's hoping the proponents will be willing to debate their proposed initiative" but gives no indication of when or where




ah, Lanny, in case you missed it..Andy already challenged the Water Giardians to a debate, they accepted and then Andy chickened out...we got two editorial writers at the News-Press and the left hand doesn't know that the right hand is doing, apparently

either that or Lanny is pretending not to know what his pal Andy wrote last month.....anyway the debate shipped has sailed...




and before anymore nonsense is published by Lanny Ebenstein, why doesn't he explain, in an editorial, about his pot house issues in Eureka when his neighbors sued him for being a nuisance...Lanny settled the day before the hearing was to begin..tell us why Lanny..and tell us why your pal Wendy refused to cover the story in the News-Press....her reply to me when I asked her a few years ago was "there's no story" oh really??

while Lanny portrays himself an economic expert, and president of a shady non-profit California Center for Public Policy, here's a  refresher..a 2010 story regarding his issues Eureka:

A total of 14 neighbors living in the area surrounding the 200 block of Hillsdale Street in Eureka sued Alan Oliver Ebenstein, of Santa Barbara, each seeking $7,500 and claiming that a marijuana growing operation in one of Ebenstein's rental properties posed a nuisance that he failed to abate. According to court documents, the neighbors argued that the pungent smell of growing marijuana plants filled the residential neighborhood, that neighbors lived in constant fear of fires from faulty wiring at the property and that armed robbers might mistakenly enter their homes instead of the grow house they claimed everyone knew to be on the block. Property values in the neighborhood decreased due to an increased police presence because of the grow house, they claimed, and neighbors stopped letting their children play in their front yards due to safety concerns. Meanwhile, records at the Humboldt County Clerk's Office indicate that Ebenstein -- a visiting economics professor at University of California Santa Barbara, an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and a former member of the Santa Barbara Board of Education -- may be in some financial trouble. The records indicate that Ebenstein owns at least five properties in the county -- all purchased between 2005 and 2007 -- and that notices of default have been entered on properties he owns in Eureka, Arcata and Manila, including the Victorian on Hillsdale Street that is at the center of the civil case. One of the properties -- located in the 1300 block of Gibson Street in Eureka -- is scheduled to go up for a trustee's sale Monday
