WASHINGTON —

Who would you put on a stamp? Charlie Sheen? Lady Gaga? Yourself?

Hoping to boost sagging revenue, the U.S. Postal Service on Monday abandoned its longstanding rule that stamps cannot feature people who are still alive and is asking the public for suggestions.

Y'know, I think Freepers may have a few suggestions.

0bama is out - people won't know which side of the stamp to spit on.

Dick Cheney.

The Bill Clinton pic where he’s got this skeevy look on his face.

[coloradan]

Ben Bernanke. (You’re talking about food stamps, right?)

[Michael.SF.]

Elvis

[napscoordinator]

If the choice is Lady Gaga, Charlie Sheen or myself, I would put Lady Gaga on the stamp because she has been the most successful. Sheen is an idiot and me....I am an average salary family man just trying to make it so hardly stamp material.

[unkus]

Herman Cain. A real American.

[DelanoSAlways]

Food Stamps you say? Obviously Martin Luther King.

[World'sGoneInsane]

Nancy Reagan.

Jim Robinson

How about Cigar guy at the golf course or Katrina looter man. Sorry I do not have the pics. Maybe someone could help out.

Jim Robinson

Oh h*ll yeah. In a set with Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter.

[Crooked Constituent]

Chaz Bono

USPS may be onto something here. Let celebrities pay to have their mugs on stamps. I wouldn’t mind sending a letter with a Justin Bieber or Bette Midler stamp, if it meant I could still get my Saturday mail.

Elvis

You know something we don't?

[Slings and Arrows]

Knock yourself out.

[cherry]

probably Cassius Clay..not my favorite but he has had a huge impact....

Jim Robinson

Don't you mean Jim Thompson?
