A simple example of waste....they give away the priority shipping boxes. I can't tell you how many ebay items have
come to me in a priority box which has been cut apart and turned inside out. You can go on line and order them by the humdred for free with free shipping. Plus tape! The vendors at the local flea market use the boxes by the dozens.

Don't tell what's it's name above about that! You should read my FreepMail! I don't pay enough(according to it/him/her/whatever)!!!

However, she told U.S. News & World Report "it's all a plot" to discredit her and that she planned to resign anyway. "It spins a good story."

Thanks kcvl for all the info on this rotund Hillary! harpie.

I guess the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" is to blame in her twinkie induced mind.

[kcvl]

So, everyone is a liar but YOU?!

She donated to the same Max Cleland who stands to benefit politically from the transfer of jobs to Georgia?

[Grampa Dave]

How about jail time and a new law that would strip a person's citizenship when this crime is repeated in the future?

No one called anybody a liar. The reference you provided seemed to be unaware that the USPS has always transported mail by privately owned common carriers. This includes trucking companies, airlines, railroads, bus companies, air-taxies, etc.

Intriguingly that transfer of airlift to FedEx was made just immediately before all the airlines decided that they probably didn't want mail in the holds of their passenger aircraft anyway (SEE: 9/11, anthrax attack). FedEx has an all-freight fleet.

Presumably your reference doesn't really give much of a care to national defense, public safety, and so forth.

It's not that he is a liar - he's simply ignorant. I would be quite happy to brief him on all that he needs to know any time.

[kcvl]

Well, BRAINIAC, go right ahead since you are so damn smart. Why don't you just FIX IT!

When anyone TELLS me I NEED TO PAY MORE that really pisses me off. It's not as if I don't already pay over half to the stupid goverment that doesn't have to balance it's books the same as I do!

GO AWAY!!!

WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE!!!

[kcvl]

(I know for a fact that you get more than one unearned government subsidies. Now 'fess up so we can take appropriate action.)

[bandleader]

[bandleader]

...a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) executive has been forced to resign amidst allegations that she attempted to manipulate postal service resources to punish a candidate for the U.S. Senate who had been critical of the mismanaged government mail system.

But the government can't figure out why the postal service has management problems and is losing money badly. Maybe it's because their executives are too busy doing crap like this!

"John Glenn's return voyage did more than advance our knowledge, it lifted our spirits," said Deborah Willhite, Senior Vice President, Government Relations and Public Policy, who unveiled the stamp. "It also reawakened our interest in space, inspired millions young and old, and cemented John Glenn's place as one of the world's greatest astronauts," she said.

What a joke! John Glenn is a dirtbag who sold out his principles the day he landed in Washington. As for John Glenn's last space flight, that was nothing but a Klinton payoff. Read what Chuck Yeager had to say about it HERE.

Off with her head!!

If I remember correctly, part of what drove up the cost of the new main post office in Chicago was the initial collapse of the first 4 or 8 stories worth of superstructure onto the train tracks below. A couple construction workers were killed and many injured.

The lawsuits were flying after that collapse.

The old facility that they were replacing had approximately 6 million square feet on something like six floors. The building spanned the 8 lane Eisenhower Expressway. It was built like a fortress.

The building was so huge that large portions weren't in use anymore.

It was so huge that an enterprising manager, that had $250,000 of discretionary purchasing authority on her signature alone, decided to build herself a $250,000 apartment complete with jacuzzi on a portion of one of the unused floors.

Now, before you jump to the conclusion that she built it all for herself, let me tell you that she did use it reward the male employees that she had determined carried the biggest packages day-in and day-out.

She really had those guys humping to continue to receive their apartment privileges.

Well, until someone that was probably a little jealous called those narrow-minded postal inspectors on her.

How about jail time and a new law that would strip a person's citizenship when this crime is repeated in the future?

Thats too gentle.

This is happening in my area too. I just wonder how widespread this is? More importantly "who impimented it?"
