People often misspeak or say things in a manner that doesn't necessarily convey exactly what they mean. It happens. Other times they're flat-out wrong. C'est la guerre.

So before I slice and dice some things that have been uttered in the credit union movement, I'll fess up to my own folly. NCUA Director of Public and Congressional Affairs John McKechnie's taste for trivia detected that I had attributed "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" to the Big Bopper rather than Jerry Lee Lewis. My apologies.

Also under the category of "what did you just say," NAFCU President/CEO Fred Becker stated during his annual conference last week that credit unions need to look out for each other. You might think, OK, credit unions are cooperatives so that sounds fair.
