If you love stationary and based on sales, I think a lot of people do. Here's a gentle nudge to move past "collecting" and to actually USE the stationary. Write letters to friends and family. Send thank you notes. Write actual cards and MAIL THEM.

The president is refusing to spend taxpayer money assisting Americans suffering from natural disasters solely because their states didn't vote for him.
I know there are a thousand scandals at the moment, but this one deserves some more oxygen at every level.

Is this just business as usual in politics? No. Approval rates of federal disaster aid requests were about the same regardless of the state and did not vary much with the party of the President. This graph powerfully conveys the scale of the partisan discrimination now.
