this freakin pisses me off

I'll be calling these sum-bitches with the post office tomorrow. These asses can take money from the national treasury but not post the national motto? How effen absurd!

As an aside, I was in my local post office the other day, while standing in line for 48 minutes I couldn't help but read every freakin sign and poster hanging in there. While perusing these adverts I noticed something that struck me as odd. Most of the people in the posters and advertisements were non-whites. Well, time permitted so I counted them as I moved along the line. The tally: 11 non-white to 2 white. Just an observation.

Just another day in the life of our ever expanding bureaucracy.

You'll get a lot of new flack here. Lots of newbies hitting on the substance of America. Wait, watch, and listen. Lock and load.

I noticed the "diverse" posters as well.

It seems like diverse = "less whites". If you have a basketball team which is 80% black and then replace a white player with a black player, you've just made the team more diverse.

11 non-white to 2 white

Every time I see something like that, "the time of the Gentiles" is over keeps running through my mind.

---------

Luke 21

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not by and by.

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death.

And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake.

But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

In your patience possess ye your souls.

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares.

For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

These asses can take money from the national treasury

The USPS receives no tax money except for the cost of Congressionl Franked mail,
and the reduced rate portion of non-profit bulk mail.
Both of those are mandated by Congress.

He pointed to postal regulation 232 under sections about "depositing literature" and "soliciting and electioneering" which state that the posting of most handbills, fliers, pamphlets, signs, placards and posters in post office lobbies is prohibited.

They don't adhere to this in the p.o. in my neighborhood either. There are posters for HBO movies and Showtime movies on the walls over the writing tables. And last year some time, (can't remember definite times) I was waiting in line and there were holders full of AOL cd's with 750 free hours on every available surface. Wouldn't the above "rule" apply?
