"It is in the nature of our work that we see many virtuoso performances in the theatres of bureaucracy, but we confess a sort of perverse admiration for the Commission's role in this case. It has soared beyond both the ridiculous and the sublime and presented a scenario sufficiently extraordinary to relieve us of any obligation to explain why we are reversing the judgment . . . . To state the Coastal Commission's position is to demonstrate its absurdity."
(Healing v. California Coastal Commission (1994) 22 Cal.App.4th 1158, 1168.)
(What can I say? I'm a land use attorney. The California Coastal Commission is evilness agencified. ;))
