but I would also like to point out that the NH Union Leader is about the most extreme RW rag on the planet. Having spent a number of years living in NH I can honestly say that I have never, to this day, seen anything as RW and full of unadulterated BS in printed form. And I live in a very red western state where there's some pretty RW rubbish slung around. That rag is so full of propaganda, it has always been that way and reminds me of a vicious high school newspaper that hates everybody but the rich peoples' kids and even some of them get skewered on a regular basis. I used to use it to light the woodstove and as liner in the cat box.
And I would like to say, also, that a couple months ago I was standing in our rural PO while the clerks were all busy and the one working the counter was getting a package for a client in the back, a line began to form. Some old butthead redneck happened in and found he was about fourth in line and started to complain about how slow the service was... he wasn't a local and had no idea that half the staff had just been laid off a couple weeks prior... he was blaming Obama for the fact that he had to wait and that the service was slow. I turned around and faced this piece of rubbish and informed him that there were only two workers, one was putting mail in the boxes (we don't have delivery service and everybody has a box) and the other was getting a package. He started on the "no wonder Congress was cutting them, see how awful they are making me wait in line" rag. When I interrupted him and informed him that he could thank his Republican Congressional representatives since they were the ones that created this situation so that he had to wait in line. The rest of the locals standing there gave him a dirty look and he shut up. They all thanked me for my comment as I was leaving after my transaction was done.
People can be so stupid, they don't pay attention to the reasons why this kind of crap is happening because they don't read or pay attention to what the government actually does... they can't be bothered.
Just had to share that, thanks for all the work you folks do, it's not easy. I use the PO on purpose when I could use other services, just because... and I send things to NH often. Thank you for your service and for this essay.
