If you are still somehow alive after tonight's episode of "Which Escaped Mental Patient Will Lead America to Hell?" then, well, congratulations, and also you should know that while you were being hypnotized by Michele Bachmann's laser eyes and reading about it on the Internet, you were also helping to murder the U.S. Postal Service.
The folks who are already doing it: Amazon. Maybe they'll replace the Postal Service: your first class mail delivered free with every $25 order. (No order, no mail, but that shouldn't inconvenience too many of us.)
They do, which is precisely why things are so fucked up. Ditto for Amtrak getting anything done properly. And with the teabagger morons in Congress pushing the Somalia model of government, it's only going to get worse.
Government services don't have a "business model". (Try coming up with a profitable food stamp program.) The government's job is to do what private business can't... like deliver mail and packages to every address in the country.
Don&#039;t you go messing with their <i>TV Guide</i> and <i>Readers Digest</i> deliveries. Teabaggers unite! Getting rid of cheap postal delivery is socialism.

Yeah, but you&#039;d have a shitload of people going ex-postal.
Too bad they stuck in the words &quot;have Power to&quot;.
