Ads

I've just watched consecutive ads for completing the census (which I think was originally due before Easter, which says a lot about the response rate) and then, unbelievably, for the USPS.  Yes, apparently the US Postal Service has enough money to advertise despite having to take extreme cost-cutting measures (which are obviously not politically motivated in any way whatsoever).  Just how messed up is this - that it is necessary to advertise for something you are required by law to complete, and a government agency with constitutional responsibility to provide a postal service.  Crazy.  But what else would you expect in these times and with this government.  Unless it's an absolute rout (unlikely), then also expect the election and the election results to be absolutely chaotic and very contested.
