Folks criticizing Postal Service for suspending deliveries for GHWB's funeral, but in fairness...

Lot of people criticizing this, but in fairness, the best way to honor a Republican is to deny Americans a vital government service they rely on

1. So very true!

K&R!

2. What Does

this have to do with Republicans? It's about acting like an advanced civilization. A man died who reached about as high as you can go in this country's government. It was designated as a federal holiday, the post office is federal...

3. it's a joke

...a 94 yr old president dying shouldn't suspend our sense of humor.

Especially at republicans' expense.

I don't think the PS halting for a day will harm the republic.

4. The postal truck came by early this am.

It was one of those special deliveries. We'll see if they do their regular deliveries this afternoon.

5. The National Day of Mouring is tomorrow.

And they are only suspending "regular" deliveries tomorrow.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Okay.

[virgogal]

13. Including a birthday card I wanted delivered tomorrow.

[DownriverDem]

21. Not today

Tomorrow is when they will be off.

6. Lol!

7. They apparently did so with Reagan as well (though I don't really remember that being the case)

10. And Ford. And Nixon. And Johnson. And Truman.

Its Standard Operating Procedure.

[hlthe2b]

12. yes... so?

[onenote]

14. well, since you mentioned Reagan, I figured I mention the others that have been similarly honored

For some reason, that seems to bother you, although for the life of me I can't see why.

[hlthe2b]

15. Because I mention it had been done before and that, though Ford was most recent, I remember

Reagan's more clearly? Really. For the life of me, I can't see why you are accusing me of being "bothered". Where exactly did I imply being bothered by it?

[onenote]

16. Happy to know my post didn't bother you. I stand corrected.

Although I'm still in the dark as to why you felt the need to respond "Yes...so?" to my post. But whatever.

9. It's kind of funny that this week is the first time I had to use snail mail for three communications

I mailed them yesterday, and they’re all going within the state.

Maybe they’ll reach their destinations today. But, dayum!

11. lol

17. I look at it as our USPS workers work very hard; If they are given a day off, I say, "ENJOY!"

18. In Honor of the Republicans who constantly try to destroy our Postal Service.

[LakeArenal]

23. Exactly.

19. My only comment would be that if this delays someone's bill payment...

they shouldn't be charged a late fee. Back in the day, if something was due on a weekend or holiday, it always carried over, but that's not the case now, so as long as the closure accounts for that, I'm fine with it.

20. When Reagan died

They closed the post offices too. My post office closed, but they put up a sign saying "Closed in honor of Ray Charles" who also died that week.

22. My first good laugh of the day.

Recently I was told by a clerk at a local Post Office that a lot of people didn't like the American flag stamps after the thing was elected. It's in a minority community.

24. It's a shot at Bezos
