POST PROPOSES PARCEL-POSTING PRES TO POLE
This post is honored to note the 105th anniversary tomorrow of a notable day in U.S. Postal history. Let’s begin with a ‘little’ background, which you can take as gospel because it was written by a Pope:
https://postalmuseumblog.si.edu/2013/02/very-special-deliveries.html
Yes, friends, for just 53 cents worth of stamps attached to a little girl’s coat, the precious cargo wearing that coat was shipped by rail in a train’s mail compartment, thereby saving the cargo’s parents a pretty penny in passenger fare. This got me to thinking about the possibility of saving money by restoring the mailing of humans via the U.S. Postal Service. Think, for example, of all the “border wall” money alone that could be saved by shipping President Trump to the North Pole to chill in Santa’s workshop, helping Santa make toys that insure children are happy instead of policies that traumatize them….or Santa could toy with the bright idea of replacing Rudolph’s red nose with Donald and his orange glow.
Now, I’m not saying The Donald is a worm, but if it acts like a worm, leaves a trail of slime like a worm, and glows like a worm, that may account for why so many have taken the bait.

It would probably take an Act of Congress, which (unlike Parcel Post) has a history of delivering responsibly about as often as Trump tells the truth.

Fascinating post and article. Love bits of history like this and am over the moon with the Spike Jones album cover. I actually have it. Last night re-watched “Laura” for the umpteenth time with a mystery writer friend who’d never seen it. (How is that possible!?) All through it I could hear Spike’s parody of the theme song. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

The trip was my pleasure, mirover. How well I remember LAURA, as well as such other Spike Jones classics as CHLOE, COCKTAILS FOR TWO, and HAWAIAN WAR CHANT. In my opinion, GLOW WORM isn’t one of his best, but it’s still fun. 🙂

In some respects, he’s a monster. What else do you call an egomaniac whose every lie, exaggeration, and maneuver are done in furtherance of seeing himself deemed King Trump.

Agreed, Ricardo. No self-respecting worm would want to be seen in the company of The Donald.

That was a fascinating link re: mailing children. I had no idea – and what a good price, too! 😉

I had the same reaction when I happened upon that link, SS. History is endlessly interesting to those of us who find human nature fascinating (as opposed to those of us for whom the world revolves entirely around him or her self).

I like the question: “If you could post trump somewhere where would that somewhere be?” And I like your North Pole occupation location. Very benign. But works as well as any more violent or punitive revenge fantasy would. I think a nice sheltered workshop – a long way away from the means of communication – doing something of value for other people’s children would be a worthy and just punishment. He could even have hamberders and covfefe shipped in if it helped him concentrate on doing things to make other people’s lives better.

Yours is certainly a compassionate take on my proposal to send Trump to the North Pole, and more compassionate than he deserves. considering the places he sends children he has separated from their asylum-seeking parents. What he deserves is prison, but that’s probably about as likely as sending him to the North Pole (pending Mueller’s findings and further developments).
