Ah, voting is the beauty of a free country.

Unfortunately, postage in the United States is nothing but free, as rates continue to increase.

Fortunately, the good old men and women that won’t let rain, sleet, and snow stop them are great about coming up with neat collector and special edition stamps that make price hikes hurt less.

The Simpsons will soon have their place in postal history and you have the chance to say whether you’d like to pay 44 cents for Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, or Maggie.

We’re rooting for vegetarian Lisa!

Vote here now!

You can also enter to win an autographed limited edition poster by Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening.

Result tallying starts April 13th and the instructions on the website say “vote early and often” so apparently you can left click until your heart’s content for Lisa.

Because she’s really the only Simpson who can say, “Don’t have cow, man,” and mean it.

Who Wants A Shirtless Barack Obama For PETA?

US President-elect Barack Obama enjoys shave ice with friends and family in Hawaii

Just when you think you’ve heard everything about President Obama, new news surfaces.

In 2006, when Barack was an Illinois senator, he wrote a letter to PETA condemning the Canadian seal hunt.

Yes, THE PETA. Who knew Barack had such animal lovin’ roots!

“I share your concerns about the Canadian seal hunt,” Obama wrote in a letter to the organization, dated April 13, 2006.

“As you know, Canada annually opens its eastern waters to commercial seal hunting. The United States and European Union have been unified in their opposition to the slaughter of seals by passing legislation decades ago to restrict the sale of seal-based products within their borders.”

“I certainly believe in the spirit of these acts; the U.S. should not condone this recent Canadian action.”

Much ado has been made about the level of physical fitness of the current president. (Shirtless photo, shirtless photo, shirtless photo.)

Would it be inappropriate for us to suggest the President of the United States to take off his shirt for PETA in the name of animals? Even jokingly? We certainly hope not.

One thing’s for sure, it’s definitely appropriate for Obama to continue to champion for animals while in office.
