The latest in the meme that liberals, led by the ACLU, want to destroy Christmas is the idea that the post office has stopped selling religious stamps.

Of course, it's not true. No big surprise there.

But this information is fairly interesting:

"We had an overabundance of religiously based stamps from last year," she said. The Postal Service needed to sell its overstock of Madonna stamps and didn't want a fresh crop of outdated stamps sitting in the drawers for next year.

This year's cookie stamps were printed because last year's non-religiously themed stamps -- the service tries to keep each kind on hand for patrons -- sold out.


So people are more interested in buying 'secular' stamps rather than 'religious' ones. I wonder how this'll be blamed on the ACLU. Have they been intimidating letter-writers, now? Trying to shut up anyone they dislike, like they did with the Nazis in Skokie?
