With all the attacks against the Postal Service from the Repugs, I just wanted to share and celebrate an amazing deed done by a letter carrier! Go, dude, go!

The baby's parents says it's because of one man that they'll be able to celebrate their son's first birthday this weekend.

1. I suppose mileage does vary ...

but all the postal workers in my area - that I've dealt with - are very pleasant and helpful.

4. Postal workers are great. The decades-long smear campaign (remember going postal?)

against them doesn't match the reality. And the reality is they're a big union, which Republicans fear. That's why they want the USPS destroyed and have created a pension burden on them that's wildly out of proportion to other businesses.

2. If this was a for profit route the policy would have been you can't stop

because the time necessary to save the child would have cut into the bottom line.

Thank you, LisaLynne.

7. -- but a privatized letter carrier from Staples could'a done it cheaper.
