Woe Unto the Stamp Collectors

Look'it that. All that majestic majesty in its raw majestic-ness. See how it inspires patriotism and democracy and the desire to mail things. Oh, to be an American.




Uhhhmmm... hrm... So uh, hey, did you hear? The Post Office upped the price of stamps from $0.39 to $0.41. I'm thinking they spent the extra two cents on licensing clip art. And researching shades of beige.

These new stamps leave me unmoved--unless by "moved," you were to mean something like, "hey, let's all 'move' to Canada now."

On a somewhat similar topic, do you ever get an urge to take those "Business Reply Mail" envelopes from junk mail, paste over the address part, and use that "No postage necessary if mailed in the United States" box for free postage? Yeah, neither do I. But I'm sure some unscrupulous folks would. Cheap, cheap unscrupulous folks. Would that count as a federal offense, you think?
