Stamp Takes a Lick
A U.S. postage stamp (has been) issued in honor of President Nixon. I, for one, would rather lick 32 one-centers than put my tongue to a picture of Nixon. Honoring a man who was effectively impeached (resigning in disgrace) is an affront to those who value such recognition. This man, elected with “the answer to the Vietnam War” in his pocket, then continued, and intensified, the devastation of that country and disintegration of our own.
The culmination of the irony is that this is a first-class stamp!
