Well, you all probably know by now, but today the price of stamps went up to 41cents. For the record, I still think its a pretty good value, I mean after all, what other things have only gone up 40 cents in 200 years? This time though, they came out with what is called a "forever" stamp. Let me explain this one to you. Its a stamp that doesn't have an price on it, meaning that next time they raise the cost of stamps, they won't have to print any new ones. Also, you will be able to use the remaining stamps you have left without having to buy any 2 cent stamps. Now, don't get me wrong, I think this is a great idea, but what the fuck took so long? We are 200 years into this thing and they are just now coming up with this idea? I mean honestly, what the fuck? Now I know what you are thinking "well Mike, you didn't come up with the idea either." This is true, but cut me some slack here, I have only known how to talk for about 28 or 29 years. After that, I needed to learn how to read and write and find out what a stamp is. Also, I'm not paid to come up with ideas like this, as some people within the United States Postal Service are. See, but I don't blame them as much either, I mean, they have to be pretty busy. I blame people for the first 100+ years, they should have been all over this idea YEARS and YEARS ago. Shit, 100 years ago with no internet, no tv, no radio and shit, not much electricity, they had plenty of time to come up with ideas. Let's face it, all they did back then was drink and fuck (ok, so they worked a lot too, I'm just thinking of their down time) at some point, couldn't somebody come up with this one in a drunken haze? You know, every town drunk has a million ideas that sound crazy at first but are actually pretty good, say, 25 or 30 years later. Or perhaps, maybe after some wild sex during some pillow talk, you know, before the burning sets in from fucking somebody with several stds. I guess when I think about it, I should go easy on them, after all, its not like it was an easy job, I mean its not like people lived right next to each other. Just mailing a letter from Chicago to Indianapolis took days and they were probably getting sick and dying and shit like that, just to deliver a letter. But still, you mean to tell me during these long rides from town to town, nobody ever said "Shit Sam, it sure is taking for-fucking-ever to get there. Say, you know what would be a good idea? Forever stamps!"

Speaking of having lots of time and drunken haze for comming up with ideas how about that whole 'word is round' thing. They had to have had a massive drunk on for that one and then to actually set sail to prove it, you know one or two of the crew had to be thinking "He had better be right!"
On a seperate note, food for thought: I'm all for us leaving Iraq as I hate being here as much as the next guy but looking at it from a logistics point of view.....We have spent over 4 years shipping stuff here, even if we only leave with 1/2 of what we brought it will take us two years to get out of here if we started today.
Jerry Falwell died.
Good riddance.
