Post Office Closures
Just curious. There is a news story today (9/15) about the possibility of the closure of the Everett processing center. It has been suggested that as many as 120,000 postal workers may be laid off. More than 3,000 post offices have, or may be closed. In light of all the problems the postal service is having, and the fact they may need to drastically scale back service to "stay in business", does it really make sense that we remain all...

A glaring example of media bias at the Seattle Times.

Trouble in Perry-dise?
While over at PI.com. Joel Connelly is telling us that Rick Perry is so far to the right that he would 'repeal the 20th century,' Sarah Palin is saying 'wait just a minute.' She backhanded Perry in her speech at a Tea Party event, with remarks about 'crony capitalism.' The speech can be viewed here. It's almost 40 minutes but worth a listen.
