Reminder: Postage Rate Hike

Effective 8 January 2006 the new postage rate is .39 for standard first class mail. An increase of just over 5%. To commemorate this increase, the U.S. Postal Service has created a stamp with a picture of George W. Bush honoring his first-term achievements.
It has already been shown that the stamp is not sticking to envelopes, enraging the President, who has demanded a full investigation.
After a month of testing, a special presidential commission has made the following determinations:
1. The stamp is in perfect order.
2. There is nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.
3. People are spitting on the wrong side.

I know they really don't lick stamps anymore, I think this stamp is a reissue of the old Nixon stamp from the 70's

Is this anything like Chevy Chase's stamp honoring prostitution, where you pay only 5 cents for the stamp, but it costs 34 cents to lick it?

Spitting in Bush's face would be great!

And giving him a hard kick in the groin would be even better. I bet they'd put ME on a stamp if I pulled it off :)
