The Society of Settlement Planners (SSP) concluded its annual meeting in Washington DC on Friday.
Adding delicious irony was the appearance (from what I hear) of representatives of Prosperity Partners, Inc. (a/k/a PPI Cash) at what was intended to be a professional business meeting in Tommy HIlfiger shirts adorned with black sheep.
Whether these are disciples of Pappy Boyington, the commanding officer of the famed Marine Air Corps "Black Sheep" squadron, which fought above the Northern Solomons and Rabaul, from August, 1943 through January, 1944 and memorialized in a 1970s TV series starring Robert Conrad only they really know. I guess ant** costumes were out of the question!
I've previously used the analogy of the factoring involvement in this settlement planning trade association as being much like the wolves being in with the lambs without the shepherd tending the flock
In this case the lyrics of a new nursery rhyme led by new SSP maestro Chuck Derenne, accompanied by deep discounter, patron member and creator of "Peachtree Idol", Deborah Benaim, might go something like "Baa Baa Black Sheep Are You Really Wolves? "Cash for structure?", "Yes That's Bull"!.
