Wait a minute, Mr. Postman
Daily News reporter Lisa Friedman covers the sad state of mail delivery in Los Angeles in an article out of our Washington, D.C. bureau.
It seems that letters have been delayed up to six days, and periodicals even longer. This explains why Jessica Alba has yet to comment on the poetry I sent her, and why the latest issue of "Extreme Bass Fishing" is missing from my coffee table.
Apparently someone leaked an internal report from the postal service to Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, who in turn leaked it to the public. Leave it to a Democrat to reveal our most guarded postal secrets. No doubt Bill O'Reilly is already on the case.
Now Waxman and his constituents want answers, and you don't want to tangle with that group. Next they're going to look into why the youngsters next door leave their music on so loud, and I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that inquiry.
In all seriousness, though, the solution is called e-mail. It's instantaneous, and you don't even need a stamp! Oddly enough, I read about it in last months "Extreme Bass Fishing."
