any less ridiculous. I know it's not your fault, Ocelot, you're just passing along information.

The Post Office's busiest time of year and they're taking days off for a guy who, I don't think, will ever be put in the ground. The "mourning" has been going on for a week, tomorrow. My Dad died and his ashes were in the ground three days later. Of course he was never president either. This just seems like overkill, so to speak, that's all.
