Yes, thanks to amazing new printing technology, anybody can put seemingly anything on the official tender of the United States Postal Service and send it out.
Meaning that we, the recipients of said U.S. Mail, can look forward to the cable TV wars spilling over into our postage. Next up: A $3.60 Priority Mail stamp promoting "Anderson Cooper 360," or a five-cent issue with the mug of Keith Olbermann reminding you to watch "Countdown" before it's ... cancelled.
With priority mail now topping four bucks, a 3.60 stamp, much like "360" won't do much for me.

Oooo... ouch on the Countdown zinger. It often beats Paul Zahn Now in the demo.
Since Fox News cancelled a show today (Dayside) -- maybe that should be the stand in for Coutndown ;)

Only because Jerrick and FoxBlondeBot 2643 are getting a midday show on the Fox-owned stations in January, with the hopes of taking it network. Over the affiliates' dead bodies, of course.

Speaking of "DaySide," when the show's original host, Linda Vester, left the program to go on extended maternity leave last summer (she never returned), instead of giving that show to two teenagers masquerading as adults, they should have given it to someone of a mature, professional nature, like Uma Pemmaraju and/or Donna Fiducia.
