the post office is bankrupt, the post master general asked congress in january please to change the mandate that mail must be delivered 6 days a week
we need to consider cutting either saturdays or tuesdays, he testified
Mail Delivery Stamped Out 1 Day Per Week? - CBS News
this, despite an 1100% increase in the cost of a stamp in 45 years
very few commodities have known such severe and LONG RUNNING, even permanent inflation
the prez was an idiot to bring this up
the prez was a fool to stack that high school gym so blatantly
press secty gibbs this morning was asked FIVE questions about just why was the president's audience in portsmouth so dramatically different from all the other town halls we've witnessed
gibbs has a new kick---he's blaming "cable tv" quite often
"cable news food fight" was part of one of his answers this morning
he attacked "cable tv" twice yesterday
excuses are endless from these guys
also, "deathers" is a new term being tossed around by the health care crowd
chris matthews ran a segment every day for two full weeks, he's absolutely obsessed with "birthers"
he'll almost surely be doing another today
he identifies birthers with the south, he keeps running this poll that shows few in the northeast, midwest and west believe the president was born in kenya, or wherever
but some 58% of dixie dudes and dude-ettes aren't sure barry is really red, white and blue
GOP and South vs. rest of the U.S. - First Read - msnbc.com
somehow, the birthers are morphing, in chrissy's excitable little mind, into plantation owning racists
y'know, mint julep sippers
it also has something to do with ms palin
exactly what, chrissy struggles to articulate clearly
but it does
you have to understand mr matthews, he's so prone to THRILL
i will never forget back during the 04 campaign---you surely remember the rumor that ran john mccain as john f kerry's veep candidate
the kerry/mccain ticket, vs bush/cheney (whom chrissy very pointedly pronounces, cheeney)
well, sure, it was a story, a rumor, a JUICY one, at that
kerry/mccain!
dream ticket, baby!
but chrissy devoted, everyday, literally for MONTHS, a segment to the cozy couple
chrissy SWOONS
he does it all the time
HA!
anyway, even HE, chris matthews, saw yesterday's portsmouth pratfall as what it was---a staged set-up
missed opportunity
and demonstration that the prez can't face what specter, dingell, mccaskill and all the others must endure
how do you think ms mccaskill feels about this?
she's gotta go out there and get gutted
while he prances all pretty in portsmouth before his gaping groupies
turning over our medical insurance to the govt, like the post office, is leaving our health care in the hands of the kind of people who run the dmv
good point, mr prez
