For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for January 20, 2018

back to square one all over again

The first step is for Elly to admit she is powerless over forming committees — that her life had become so unmanageable she couldn’t even read a book without forming a committee to read the book.

Recognizing the addiction is the first step. As yet, she hasn’t even advanced a toe in that direction

Can Elly be cured?only Lynn knows.

She is who she is. Deal with it.

First rule of government: If you want to bury a piece of legislation, form a committee to study it !

If you want to give the appearance of doing something, while actually, doing nothing, form a committee to investigate it.

And if you want to reward the dumbest member of your Party for political loyalty, make them committee chairperson !

I do admire her energy. I could use some. If anyone has some to spare, send it along, will you?

Elly is her own worst enemy.

Cardwell’s Law of Voluntary Associations: They who will work get overworked.

Committee: A group of the uninterested appointed by the uninformed to do the impossible.

Ellie can’t help being involved with committees. It’s in her jeans.

I can’t believe how I was doing the same thing when I was younger, How in the world did I manage the house, kids and all the “work” i did, Now i can barely manage to get 2 things a day done!

I’m sure the doctor will be happy to hear that…

Which is higher, the national debt or Elly’s blood pressure?
