Why won't they just privatise the Post Office already?Let me see if I can get this straight. The Post Office just broke even for the first time since the 1970s. Therefore they will raise the price of a stamp in 2006 and then again in 2007. And just because they are going to issue a stamp for Mickey Mantle, Aquaman and Curious George next year, doesn't mean that I'm not pissed off! posted by Tanker at 03:41 PM
CommentsPO is a bunch of dimwitted liberals. I was in the PO a few weeks back... I looked over at the stamp selection and saw Reagan and others. Was commenting to my wife about how everyone up there was dead already (answering her question as to where Lauren Bacall was) when it struck me to ask the postal guy there: "Do you have to be dead to get a stamp?" Postal Idiot: "Yes. We can hope to add a George Bush stamp really soon." I don't like Bush myself, but wishing him dead? The dhimmicrats are just sick.

They're getting scorched by competitors and electronic communications, but an alternate suggestion would be let's pay the actual cost of delivering our first class letter instead of .37 cents gets it anywhere in the country. Rural Free Delivery was a bad idea. Posted by: Dave in Texas on December 6, 2005 03:51 PM
Aquaman, Aquaman, does anything an Aqua can. Or, something like that. Cheers, Posted by: Dave at Garfield Ridge on December 6, 2005 04:04 PM
Random trivia: Q. Who was the first (and so far, only) American to appear on an American stamp while he was still alive? A. Jefferson Davis. Posted by: Pompous on December 6, 2005 04:11 PM
If it was privatized then it wouldn't provide it's service in places where their isn't any demand for it. Seriously, that's the reason I heard why it couldn't be privatized from an instructor guy during postal training. I was a rural carrier for a couple of weeks, still have the backwards jeep.

You have to be dead at least 10 years. Unless you are a President, in which case you automatically get one right after you die. Posted by: Tanker on December 6, 2005 04:48 PM
Aquaman gets a stamp...you surface dwellers know what that means. Black Manta has finally triumphed! I am no longer the biggest joke in the Legion of Doom. Suck it, Toyman! Now to start on the Wonder Twins and that damned Space Monkey! Posted by: Black Manta on December 6, 2005 04:58 PM
Big cities subsidize rural dwellers the way the USPS works now. The price of a stamp goes up because, like other union-shops, we need to provide top-notch health benefits and defined benefit pension plans to the retirees. The same reason pretty much every municipality in the US will begin going belly up in the next dozen years. Posted by: Sean on December 6, 2005 05:41 PM
I don't use the PO for much other than mailing letters, bills, small stuff. I think 39 cents a pop is a bargain and a far site better than hooking up the oxen and driving to town. They provide a fantastic service at what I consider to be a resonable rate. Now if we can just get hot, female letter carriers to deliver topless, we'll be set.

"they are going to issue a stamp for Mickey Mantle, Aquaman and Curious George next year..." Alltogether? That would be the coolest stamp ever. Aqua Monkey Justice Team! Posted by: dorkafork on December 6, 2005 05:45 PM
they are going to issue a stamp for Mickey Mantle well, yeah, but I am dead. Posted by: Mickey Mantle on December 6, 2005 05:49 PM
Now if we can just get hot, female letter carriers to deliver topless, we'll be set. Hell, if they did that, they'd have to increase postage to 69 cents a letter. And we'd pay it. Posted by: Brian B on December 6, 2005 06:13 PM
Aquaman? They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Could a Marvin & Wendy stamp be far behind? Posted by: Sean P on December 6, 2005 06:13 PM
http://federaltimes.com/index2.php?S=1365723 slightly more readable version of why. Posted by: Dayna on December 6, 2005 07:01 PM
I wouldn't accept a delivery from a topless carrier who was less than an 8. Posted by: Chris Klein on December 6, 2005 07:06 PM
So is the Aquaman stamp a Pridefest thing? Posted by: Grayson on December 6, 2005 08:20 PM
If it was privatized then it wouldn't provide it's service in places where their isn't any demand for it. Just like telephone service, cable, FedEx ... Good thing those are all government entites too. Oh, wait. Posted by: VRWC Agent on December 6, 2005 09:42 PM

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals. The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite. Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.
