The Postal service is, or isn't, shutting down its Santa letter program

America Blog  Nov 19 09

One of the worst stories ever written by AP. Depending what paragraph of the story you read, the US Postal Service either is, or isn't, shutting down the "write a letter to Santa" program, and letters to Santa either will, or won't, be shredded. I've just re-read this article ten times. It makes absolutely no sense. But the program is important, to me at least, and if it's being shut down, people have the right to know (apparently, they found a - read that again, "a" - sex offender volunteering to answer letters, so they panicked). It's an important enough story - it'd be nice if an editor at AP could re-read and re-write it in proper English. Full story...
