NOLA.com/Times-Picayune writer Jarvis DeBerry makes fun of stamp collectors who are unhappy with the commercialization and pop-culturization of the U.S. stamp program.

It’s a well-written piece that shows a knowledge of the subject: DeBerry notes Monday’s USPS announcement that its losses continue to mount. (That doesn’t mean I think DeBerry is correct, just that he read up on the subject before writing it.)

Make sure you take a look at the poll embedded in the article.

DeBerry’s column is an amusing read, and an insight into how outsiders view stamps, stamp collecting, and the choice of subjects for U.S. stamps.
