No Thanksgiving for Austin Postal Workers
Co-worker heard a story on KGSR... a woman postal worker called and said that she and 400 other postal workers worked the entire 4 day holiday addressing George W. Two Term Thief's Christmas card envelopes by hand .... apparently not enough manpower in Crawford so Austin had to do it..... what a misuse of federal tax dollars! Ruined Holiday for dedicated postal workers just to promote the image of the fake President who resides in his little staged Crawford Ranch playset.

I have been looking for this in print, to no avail. I can't seem to locate a forum on KGSR. (Not surprised the woman would call KGSR, good progressive music station).

1. not quite as egregious, but...
i had bought an item off ebay a week and a half or so ago...the postal service delivered it on Thanksgiving day because it was Express Mail. Sorry guys, really. If I'd have known that, i would have specified regular mail. My junk isn't that important.

2. If true, that's worth following up on.
That's the kind of thing that really pisses off the people who don't pay much attention to politics.

3. good point
but all I know is that it was a personal story on the radio....

but you are right, thats an abuse of federal employees and would get attention of the non-political.
