I read that the U.S. Postal Service plans on issuing a Ronald Reagan stamp. I applaud the gesture -- honoring famous Americans post-mortem is a time-honored tradition with the Postal Service. Certainly this is a better way of noting the man's passing than an unwarranted redesign of currency, not to mention incurring the staggering expense of placing his likeness on Mount Rushmore, as some have suggested.

I foresee only one problem with a Reagan stamp: How will it stick to the envelope with the obligatory Teflon coating that seems to attend all things Reagan?
