My Main Man

The mail was delivered Tuesday, Wednesday, and yesterday. The schools are all closed, the towns are in a piffle about snow removal, the Governor just about closed the whole state, and still the mail gets delivered.
Is it possible that we have the wrong people running the government? The Post Office seems to be able to handle anything. They handle everything without a lot of whining and crying about the impossibility of their job. They are self supporting despite being forced to handle the government's mail for free. When they raise the price of something, they raise it by a penny or two. I am always amazed that a letter can go all of the way across the country for forty-four cents, and there is no handling charge! The Post Office takes care of their own when retirement time comes. They take care of their own when sickness or tragedy happens.
The people of New Orleans would have been much better off if the Post Office was handling their relief after the Hurricane. Admittedly, FEMA probably saved a great many palomino horses but was a little short on delivering food and water to human beings.
The Post Office is run by a General that has never endorsed any war or new efficient way of killing people. We are missing a great opportunity here. Instead of a TEA Party, we should all endorse a Zip Party. Then maybe we could all stop being P.O.'d at the government. Maybe it
is time for Americans to finally endorse a Stamp Act and let the Post Office handle things.
When is the last time that you saw your Congressman in your town? When is the last time that you saw the Mailman?
