Post Office Unveils Ronald Reagan Stamp
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/reagan_stamp



An oversize display of the U.S. postage stamp that will honor former President Ronald is seen in this Nov. 9, 2004 file photo, in Simi Valley, Calif. The nation's 40th president joins the list of people honored on a U.S. postage stamp Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2005 with special ceremonies across the country. While a single site suffices for most new stamp ceremonies, official events are being held at in Washington, Simi Valley and Sacramento, Calif. and in Dixon, IL, Reagan's childhood home. About 500.

1. Once more, even after death, we are expected to lick Reagan's backside....
At least hope they make it minty-flavored.

11. Stamps aren't licked anymore. They are now peel-n-stick.
Have been for several years now.

3. Yuck!
I think I need to stock up on the old Daffy Duck stamp they issued a few years back, and use that one together with this.

I used to be a good correspondent, but since I've grown accustomed to the internets I've lost the habit of letter writing. So maybe I'll never see a Reagan stamp in the (fetid, decadent) flesh.

21. Oh, who cares. I buy the stamps that I want, it won't be this one.
I always check to see what's available when I go to the Post Office to buy stamps. I choose the one I like. I don't care if they have a Reagan stamp. I won't buy any. Don't sweat the small stuff.
