I heard the post office is closed today?? Why? Why are we forced to pay all those employees for sitting home watching tv??? How is that honoring Prez Ford? What kind of stupid excuse to give a day off is that? They're as bad as teachers! Makes me so mad......

Yes it is closed. I went earlier this morning to our post office to mail some letters and there was a sign at the door that the post office is closed in honor of President Bush. I found that rather unnecessary, (not the honoring part) but he didn't have anything to do with the postal service to my understanding

Every service our government provides is through the Executive Branch.

Therefore, he was the de facto head of the US Postal Service.
