Obama Administration delivers postcard 52 years late...
Sarah Bragg received a postcard from her husband, Bill, on Wednesday afternoon.

It came all the way to Macon from Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. The picture on the postcard was a view of some stalagmites and stalactites inside one of the largest caves in the world.

He mailed it on a Monday. It got there on a Wednesday.

Bill was already home by the time it reached the mailbox.

After all, it had been 52 years and 61 days.

4. President Obama's a mail carrier?
His administration has been in place for 52 years?

Wow. Where have I been?

5. No, you don't understand....
everything that happens in government service, every action in any branch of the federal government, must be attributed to the Obama administration. That's how it works. It's a rule.

6. No, it's not so subtle callout of another thread.
But it does illustrate more than the OP intended.

17. The best parts
1) “When I first looked at it, I thought to myself: ‘Who would be sending us a postcard from New Mexico?’ ” Bill said. “Then I thought I recognized my own handwriting.”

2) “... it is always a great moment when we are able to deliver the mail no matter what condition it is in,” said Nancy Ross, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Postal Service in the South Georgia District.


Just hysterical.

:rofl:
