Just turned on the TV, and clicked over to C-span..they were replaying the committee hearing on the USPS....caught this INCREDIBLE line from McCaskill: ( slightly paraphrasing from memory)

"Has the USPS ever considered an ad campaign to convince Ameicans on the importance, the value, of writing letters?"

Possibly the stupidest thing she's ever sdaid?

“Noting that some great books have been written based on letters sent by the Founding Fathers and by soldiers, Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri, urged the postmaster general to run an advertising campaign urging Americans to send more letters to each other.

“There is something special about receiving a piece of first-class mail, knowing that it comes from someone you care about,” she said. “I really believe that if someone would begin to market the value of sending a written letter to someone you love, you might be surprised what it will do for your Christmas season.”
