Post Office to Issue Reagan Stamp

[CShine]

WASHINGTON - A postage stamp honoring Ronald Reagan will be issued next year, the Postal Service announced Wednesday.

Postal policy is to honor prominent Americans with a stamp no sooner than 10 years after their death, except for former presidents who, the agency said, can be honored on their first birth anniversary following death. Reagan was born Feb. 6, 1911 and died June 5.

In announcing the Reagan stamp, Postmaster General John E. Potter said, "The Postal Service will be proud to add a commemorative postage stamp to recognize the many honors that President Reagan, a man of diverse talents, accumulated throughout his life and beyond."

The design of the stamp hasn't been completed, the agency said.

1. And each time you buy one,

it will cost more than the last one you bought. Will the glue taste like ketchup?

The choices are endless.

An you just loose the extra penny.

6. Thanks for the warning!

7. Gawd! Reagan was the Godfather of Privatization!

He got the ball rolling on privatizing the Postal Service but it to George H.W. to finish the job. Thank goodness Poppy screwed the pooch on that one. Now Dubya's back to get the job done!

8. Confusing....

I just KNOW I'll keep spitting on the wrong side!

10. Well, Nixon got one too.

Why not I guess for a president only a bit worse?

12. the nixon stamp was great

especially when affixed to a clever envelop someone (i forget who, exactly, but i think they were based in santa cruz) developed that had bars in the area where the stamp is attached - made it look exactly like nixon was in prison.

[David__77]

16. That's what I was thinking of.

I thought it was clever. Perhaps we need a repeat of this?!

[truthspeaker]

11. I look forward to defacing it.

13. Great! Due to the teflon coating, it won't stick to the envelope! n/t

14. A stamp is one thing. That's fine. Just keep that bushevik Dupe

off our money!

And off Mt. Rushmore!

15. Did you hear the old joke about the Brezhnev stamp?

A guy goes into the post office & says
"comrade postmaster-these Brezhnev stamps don't stick!"
The postmaster says-"but comrade, you're spitting on the wrong side!"

[arwalden]

18. And Then There's The Stamp Honoring Prostitutes. It's a 10-cent stamp...

... but if you lick it, it's a quarter.

Ba-dum-bump! (Ching!)

Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitresses.

17. Eh.

At least we have a choice as to whether or not to use that stamp. It would be hard to stop using dimes and 10$ bills all together with his face on them.

[Hoosier Democrat]

19. I LOVE the idea of a Reagan stamp...

Cause then I can spit on BOTH sides!!!

[happynewyear]

20. what is the rush?

They have 10 years don't they? They should wait on this as history has some judging to do first! :nuke:

[radfringe]

21. look at it this way

:evilgrin:

[Tight_rope]

22. Let's see...He has an airport, a tollway, a library, and now a stamp!

What else did I miss?

I think I'm going :puke:
