WEST CHESTER, Penna. - The United States Postal Service (USPS) may go tits up this winter if Congress doesn't provide it with mail sacks full of cash, roughly $5.5 billion, give or take. That's the depth of the shit hole the USPS needs to drag its sorry ass out of by the end of this month, just about the time that letter carriers are covering their knobby knees with long pants.
Before you go all postal at the thought of never seeing a magazine in a plain brown wrapper in your mailbox again, take heart.
