Re: Post Office Closures

Also, despite these closures, USPS is an explicitly authorized power of Congress: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Clause Meaning it, it's not going anywhere unless the constitution is amended first. And, I seriously doubt FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc. would ever attempt to deliver household mail to all ...

That may be true, but it isn't a Missouri thing.  Here's the Columbia, MO website, and compare that to the KC website: http://www.gocolumbiamo.com/ParksandRec/Trails/ Trails do cost money, but that doesn't keep the local government from taking some initiative.

Re: Election 2008

Romney is business-oriented and that's as close as your going to get. Also, if you want be considered a candidate, you have to be &q...

Bobby Jindal was the name that kept coming up on NPR this morning, when discussing with Republican strategists the likeliest candidates for a party reconstructionist. So a far right evangelical, who happens to be non-white (East Indian), is the hope of the party? How about jettison the evangelicals...
