1. There's a non-profit board I sit on

and my running joke is, "What? You're not going to form a task force over this issue?" The ED, who I do not think much of, forms a task force whenever something comes up he does not want to act on or do.

2. The Education Forum is Thattaway--->>>

Unless, of course, you're referring to any number of other bureaucratic clusterfucks.

Actually, my very first thought was the US Congress.

3. Only when the meeting is being run by an idiot, which of often the case.

[Demoiselle]

4. Not if you appoint a committee chair who's good with a whip.

Or blackmail. (I jest, I jest. I served for too many years in a local community association. )

5. Consultants, Advisor's, and Experts think tanking, isn't

Checks & Balances . " I was going to " is worse than " I should have " and resentfully acknowledging it's merits was a sign of the magnitude of that exposure .

6. Committee meetings are where ideas and work ethics go to die.

I estimate 10-15% of the folks where I work do virtually nothing besides committee meetings.

7. Is that why the arrest of Karl Rove never came to fruition? eom

[Fumesucker]

8. Only known form of life with multiple assholes

And no brain.

[Nuclear Unicorn]

9. Not going anywhere for a while?

[In_The_Wind]

10. What else is new.

[Nye Bevan]

11. The usefulness of a meeting is inversely proportional to the number of participants.

Didn't take me long to figure that rule out.
