worst writing on the front page of today’s Palo Alto Daily News

Parents of Covington Elementary School students had reason to rejoice Tuesday when their prayers were answered in the form of the Los Altos City Council’s rejection of plans for a cell phone tower [inside a to-be-constructed 10ft cross] atop a church near the school.

“Their prayers were answered”? Really?

These people who are objecting to a 10ft cross and mobile phone transmitter for aesthetics and health reasons were praying that the Los Altos city council not allow it? I find that unlikely.

Lesson of the day: language is made up of words; words have meaning.

    The author may have chosen those words on purpose for exactly the reason you point out. If it was intentional, I kind of like it.
