The sharks are circling the USPS and have been doing so for a long time. A little nip here, a head-butt there from the cowardly sharks, and once the prey is immobilized, they will go in for the feeding frenzy. And your mail will follow the trail blazed by the privatization of the airlines-- poor service backed by rudeness, and the whole rest of the nine yards. Of course, if the USPS were allowed to Compete in the Free Market (did I hear trumpets, or was that angels?), and charge a better price for bulk mail, for one thing, USPS might all of a sudden magically turn the show around. But that's part of the attack, "see above". Corporate- owned-media brainwashing: Post Office Bad! Post Office Bad! (etc. etc.). Oh, and to state it for another time: I'm certain everyone on USPS was in a doping program, and that everyone on the team knew what everyone else was doing. Just like the rest of the peloton. It's a pro sport. "On the team" to include owners/managers, everyone on down to the poor schleps who wash the bikes. Institutionalized doping in a sport, like all other sports, that has had doping since before they started. Sanity check (ironic in this context, no? Brian?) concludes. Thanks, I do feel a little better. --D-y |

Hard to see who got filtched here. Even as a fan I got what I wanted to see, a fully dope-fueled battle royale between the finest pharmaceutical companies in the world. |

If you turn off your filter for a second, I'm pretty sure the commentator was citing that number to show that the amount of money USPS spent on LANCE and the team was very small compared to the overall USPS budget. Your other comments related to the anti-USPS rhetoric (the service, not the team) I basically agree with. The postal service is one of the few public services in the US that compares better than the services in, say, European states, on performance for the price. And the effective subsidy for junk mail is socialism-for-business at its worst. Fredmaster Ben The sharks are circling the USPS and have been doing so for a long time.

I'd guess that by the time this fed investigation of LA and Postal is
done, they'll have spent at least $5M, and if they get a conviction, they might get $5M back, for an effective zero net. Hardly worth the effort for a $23M outlay for the govt. |
