Has anyone else noticed that if you leave a Birthday card, Anniversary card, Sympathy card in your mail slot for pickup, chances are, the next day it will still be there??? So then you take it to the post office to drop it in the slot, and there's a new sign (like we needed that) that says something to the fact, that if the card weighs 13 ounces or more, you must take it to the counter in the post office to show whats in it, due to heightened Homeland Security levels.
I say BULL $HIT, I've yet to see a Hallmark Bomb. Back off Chertoff !!!
P.S. Has the new drivers license with the RF transmitter chip in it been revoked yet??
OK Mr. US Post Office, please splain dis one

Although I've flown US Airways once since the sell out, that will have been my last time.
Asking pilots to fly with minimum amount of fuel is INSANE.
What happens if you have to reroute to another city, states away, (happens all the time)
or what happens if you have to circle in the air to wait out a storm.
I see only one good thing to come from this, as the US Airways jets are running out of fuel, and dropping out of the air, the Southwest Jet I'll be on, will get to land that much sooner- SWEEEET Good thinking Doug

As you watch the flooding in the Midwest ?
Have you
noticed that there are no farmers running around with stolen
plasma TVs or
holding stolen liquor over their heads.
There's no looting or
yelling
'Where's Bush?',
'Where's FEMA?,
Where's my check?', or
'Why isn't the Gov't out here saving me and
my farm?'
Why isn't the Federal Government relocating Iowa people to free hotels
in
Chicago ?
When will Spike Lee say that the Federal Government blew
up the levees
that failed in Des Moines ?
Where are Sean Penn
and the Dixie Chicks?
Where are all the looters stealing high-end
tennis shoes and big
screen television sets?
When will we hear
Governor Chet Culver say that he wants to rebuild a
'vanilla' Iowa, because
that's the way God wants it?
Think about it!!!

Dear Fellow Motorist,
As fuel costs have escalated there has been an
equal increase in the number of politicians and editorial boards that are
calling for the return of the 55 MPH national speed limit. The most recent
politician to advocate reducing speed limits is John Warner, a Republican senator from Virginia.
Going back to this counter-productive law will have
zero effect on fuel prices, but it will generate millions of speeding tickets,
auto insurance premium surcharges, and a whole new level of motorist harassment.
If you don't want to return to the days when an Interstate trip consisted
primarily of looking for speed traps, now is the time to speak up. Anytime an
elected official, reporter, editor, or talk show host starts lamenting the loss
of the 55 MPH national speed limit (and the Nixon-Carter years) they should hear
from you.
Here's a few points you can stress:
-Only a very small percentage of our
streets, roads, and highways are posted for speeds above 55 MPH (about two
percent).
-Artificially low speed limits will not be complied
with and they just invite abuse by unethical public officials and law
enforcement agencies.
-Most of our motor fuels are actually burned up in
urban/suburban settings and highways posted at or below 55 MPH. A car going 75
MPH on an Interstate highway is still getting far better mileage than one going
25 MPH in stop and go urban traffic.
-The 55 MPH national maximum speed limit was a 22
year long public policy disaster that wasted billions of dollars and billions of
man-hours while corrupting state agencies (for the sake of federal highway funds)
and misallocated law enforcement resources that could have been used in much
more productive ways.
-Any person that wishes to save fuel by driving
slower is free to do so, just as they are free to use more fuel efficient
vehicles, car pool, combine trips, or vacation closer to home. The public needs
neither a legal hammer over its head nor a government incentive to act in its
own best interest. The last two energy "crises" proved that
government price controls, rationing schemes, and attempts to dictate fuel
distribution decisions were an unmitigated disaster. The same can be said for
the 55 MPH national maximum speed limit.
