New Stamps Misspell 'Motorcycle'

The Postal Service recently, with great fanfare, issued a new set of stamps depicting motorcycles. Collectors who buy copies issued on the first day the stamps are available can get them with a special commemorative postmark. Unfortunately, the colorful postmark spells it "motorcyle."
Having discovered this, the post office announced Friday that new orders for first-day envelopes will have a corrected postmark.
Unless the buyer wants it spelled wrong. In that case they can still order the version with the incorrect postmark. Just include a note asking for the incorrect version.
Any collectors who already have misspelled versions can trade them for the corrected version by sending them to INFORMATION FULFILLMENT, DEPT US POSTAL SERVICE, PO BOX 219424, KANSAS CITY, MO, 64121-9424.

Maybe, but it did say:
[Unless the buyer wants it spelled wrong. In that case they can still order the version with the incorrect postmark. Just include a note asking for the incorrect version.]
So anyone can get them I think, I only listed this story to show how the Gov can mess-up so easy, and to maybe look at the MSM (Main Stream Media) to see how they will hang this screw-up on President Bush : - )
Hay I did check out the link in that news story and found out as I thought they are a collection of American motorcycles there are looking pretty good ! check them out at:

Why am I not surprise at the length of this government link !! : - ))
Just in case that doesn’t work try this one, once there click on the M/C stamp.

<”maybe its the new "ebonics" stamp!! “>
I think the odds of that are pretty good !!! : - )
After I went to the site the stamps look good “Harleys” so I’ll bite I click on to buy the sheet of 20,
after filling out the usual bs info I get this message:
“The Postal Store is currently experiencing problems. Please try again later”
Go figure !
