Having just weathered yet another postal increase, a new mail "crisis" has emerged: ending Saturday delivery. It's a crisis because the postal workers have created it: they don't want to give up an extra day each week of their favorite pastime: shooting at each other.
No seriously, they worry about their job security. Well guess what? Times are changing. I know of nobody - even in the Curmudgeon fraternity - who cares much about losing Saturday deliveries. First class mail is virtually nonexistent and waiting until Monday for the inevitable rash of bills sounds pretty good.
So here I am, in Command Central, watching a commercial from postal workers pleading with us to save Saturday deliveries. A TV commercial. Boy, their union must be flush with our cash.
