1. I wonder if the Dems will attempt to repeal it...

More interestingly, does this mean peoples' bill payments will be seen as terrorist propaganda? :spray: :popcorn:

2. Yeah, it's been on the DU homepage since this morning ...

[whistle]

3. I've had letters come which were opened....funny, they never open

....junk mail. Maybe they should let private carriers handle the junk mail. The Post Office gives below cost rates for the billions of pieces they carry and deliver and tax payers foot the bill for stuff I throw into recycling.

4. I guess we will soon need a Department of Mail Opening.

I remember when Republicans were passionate about privacy and individual rights. That was back when they were also for balanced budgets, state's rights, and against foreign entanglements. Guess they'll have to find new principles to run on.

5. Welcome to my junkmail Dumbya ...

I'm giving serious consideration to writing "please forward to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washinton, D.C., c/o the pResident" on all junk mail that comes to my place and dropping it back in the mail as a protest.

If he wants to read my mail, let him start with that.

Anyone know of any postal regulations against such forwarding?

8. I've decided to forward mine in a new envelope,

with postage, weekly. Can you imagine the inundation if we all did that? I sent the Puke party a 14 pound bolt on their "business reply mail" when they sent me a picture of AWOL* and wanted my money........ It didn't come back.

6. I wonder if......

they can also insert powder?? Or does it have to be diverted to someone else to perform those duties?

:scared:

After this post, I believe I will start wearing gloves and a face mask when I open my mail! :tinfoilhat:

7. Then I'll just tape my letters with binding tape.

9. I'll write "FUCK YOU W" on all my envelopes.

Someone should start selling them.

10. I'm going to get some sealing wax.

At least that way I'll know the envelope was opened, and they'll know that I'll know.
