You may not be able to get a letter from the U.S. Postal Service on Saturdays, but you will be able to get fashionable new apparel.

The cash-strapped post office plans to release a "Rain Heat & Snow" clothing and accessory line.

CNN reported that the Postal Service is teaming up with Cleveland-based Wahconah Group, which will design the clothing and accessories.

The Rain Heat & Snow line should have something available for men by spring 2014, CNN said. A women's line also is being planned.

CNN said the fashion line will be sold in department and specialty stores.

Buy clothing from the U.S. Postal Service's new clothing line that postal bureaucrats think will save it from financial extinction. Jay Leno, call your office!

This reminded me of a spot midshipmen made at the Naval Academy poking fun at the coolness of our SDB's (Service Dress Blues):

But to seriously try and sell them for commercial profit to civilians? I guess kids everywhere are just dying to look as cool as their mail carrier...:rolleyes:

You see, I've always thought that was the problem with the Post Office. Not enough fashion shows.

Now they'll be completely self-sustaining!

:rolleyes:

Will donning the clothes make one "go postal?"

That's a scary thought. SSRIs woven into every thread, and absorbed by the skin through osmosis...

Post office is adding a new line of service... transdermal delivery.

I may have to go buy a couple outfits.

That way, when they come for the rest of you bastards, I'll be able to blend in with my government-approved cloak of tyranny. I'll add a little drool and have my hand out with helpless eyes while the rest of you fools are being carted off to the re-education camps!!

Nothing like a good old fashioned federal-private partnership. I'm going to make a perfume company and have the mailman from Seinfeld do our promotion so that I can get on board the contracting gravytrain before the projects go all Solyndra on us.

General Politics, eh? We need a "Federal Government out-Onions The Onion" sub-forum.
