Red tape and morons

Curmudgeonly & Skeptical has a handle on this report. Some may have heard of Mrs. Mayo before.

Frankie Mayo has a mission � to cool the air for as many U.S. soldiers in Iraq as she can by sending them as many as air conditioners as she can lay her hands on. What started with a single air conditioner sent to her son at the end of June has grown into Operation Air Conditioner, with tons of units being sent to the troops. It is more than just providing them a touch of comfort or a taste of home, it is about helping them avoid heatstroke and providing them comfortable sleeping conditions. But, Mrs. Mayo had 302 new air conditioners waiting to go on Friday, when the U.S. Postal Service pulled the plug.
-------------------------------------

Local and regional postal representatives ducked our inquiries yesterday. But at 4:50 Friday afternoon, Mrs. Mayo was told by a bureaucrat in an air-conditioned office at Delaware's Wilmington Distribution Center that it would no longer ship the air conditioners because they contain freon, which is listed as a class 2 compressed gas.

Now this is outrageous, what dimwit in the Postal Service came up with this piece of pure hatefullness? How low an IQ do you need to be a bureaucrat? How much do you like being a perfect horses ass to think this up? Ok, this needs fixing, fast. I suggest a presidential order.

Impress the offending crackhead into the US Army, put him in BDU's, ship his butt to Bagdad and let him fill sandbags in the 100 plus degree heat while hoping that maybe someone will let him sleep inside a cooled building or tent. Public service will take on a whole new meaning to his unworthy ass. Maybe too he'll learn that playing Scrooge is an evil thing when it's him that suffers.

God, I could strangle this clown.
