Where are the late night comedians?
At his recent "Town Hall" meeting designed to bolster support for health care reform, President Obama used the Postal Service in an analogy of a government run entity that co-exists with similar private entities.
Can you imagine the fun Leno, Letterman, and O'Brien would have had if George Bush had used the Postal Service as an example in support of transferring health care to a government run enterprise? I guess I missed their jokes.
Or, maybe, they realize the prospect that health care will be run as efficiently and cost-effectively as the Postal Service really isn't funny.

It costs $.44 to send a letter from here to Fairbanks, Alaska. Even you have to admit that is pretty amazing. That said, the US Post Office is a bloated, oversupervised, overpaid blob of an entity and to think that any possible future Government health care system should be compared to that scares the pojees out of me. Any new Government health care system has to be a lean and mean entity in order to be successful. Can anyone name any government entity that is lean and mean??? Didn't think so.
God, How I miss Leno late at night.
