Amid the investment losses and revenue losses from meeting cancellations (and of course, continuing dues problems) the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought yet another major hull breach in the listing hulk sometimes jocularly referred to as "the American Bar Association."
The "ABA Annual Meeting," that spectacle of insufferably sanctimonious assholes bound up in their drunken annual festival of competitive virtue signalling, will be "held online" this year. So, no writing off the usual travel or drinking or debauchery, and only stunted opportunities to establish who is the most fanatically "progressive"among the participants this year. Also, no revenues will be generated, as the "online meeting" will be free for all ABA members.
Comical. It would have made more sense, and would have been more dignified, simply to admit the annual moronity has been effectively cancelled. With no wining, dining, partying or entertainment, very few "members" (even the numerous "free" ones) are likely to waste much time on the Internet with this excrutiating, multi-day mockery. At best, the Ship of Fools. . . uh, I mean, the "House of Delegates" will have an enhanced opportunity to pass another battery of fanatical, leftist "resolutions" as the tumbleweeds blow through. And of course, they will.
Rawles will not even get to leave the office to "report" on this "meeting." There will be no pie, nor even the chance to hook a few free beers or hors d'oeuvres at a "reception." It is simply splendid. Splendidly splendid. Best of all possible worlds!
