Outrageous.
I get the postal working peons wanting a day off for any reason, and especially this time of year.
But their bosses are insane to do this.
And of course we peasants are the ones who get screwed by this in several ways. .....
....Which, come to think of it is probably the main reason they are doing it.
You're supposed to "get" that GHWB was not only a great president, but he was mild-mannered, gentle, sweet of tongue, non-combative, etc.....all in contrast to that wild and violent you-know-who crazy now sitting in the Oval Office.
This is why the deification of Bush the Elder will continue till Trump is out of office...at which point, the former president will be dropped like a hot potato.
