Counting The # Of Angels On The Head of A Pin...


Without doubt wonks and quants are like any other group of narrow-minded dogmatists; they most like - more than all else - to catch a frequent glimpse of themselves in the media or mirror. 


Exposure - much like the fluff of heated popcorn - permits them to become expansive on their "specialized" knowledge. All puffed-up and power-pointed! Vanity vying with vacuity! But always "robust"!


The risk posed by these "error heads" to CUs - who must listen in straight-faced incredulity to their Zephyrous prepostications - is that as these boys "mature in their wisdom"; they have a predictable tendency to learn more and more about less and less, until they know everything about nothing.

 But, give them their due; they are very, very good at that!




"Nothing from nothing leaves nothing".

If you happened to attend the World/CUNA combined conference you would have seen many of those described. It was humorous to sit and listen to all the experts with with all the answers and yet not one plan of action.

Mussle's speech was as lively and provoking as a grilled cheese sandwich that has been sitting on the counter for two days.

Most of the panels provided nothing you had not heard before.

The venue was so cavernous that you did not know a conference was taking place let alone that thousands were there.

And combining the conferences. Whose idea was that. It did not work and provide nothing. The Council best go back to doing their own thing.

Another egg laid by CUNA. And this one you can't spin away or pin on someone else.

The saga continues.

Another egg laid by Cuna, and what are you going to do about it?
Here is what credit unions are experiencing.
ZERO legislative relief since 1998.
MILLIONS of member dollars spent on dues.
MILLIONS given to Congress.
MILLIONS wasted on conferences as you describe...yet...all we do is WHINE.
And if that's not enough, nussle tells us it's OUR fault and our MEMBERS duty to advocate.
Nussle, news flash for you...we aren't recruiting our members and we aren't all that enthused ourselves.
What's your next idea...our members pay you dues to non-perform?

Definition of hubris= nussle, cuna, Berger, nafcu, dollar, fry(what the hell?)zel.
Results they have gotten for credit unions= ZERO.
What's that definition of insanity again?
