And the Winners Are...

It's the time of year when many US stamp publications (OK, just one; there aren't that many left) ask readers what they thought of last year's stamps.

it's also the time of year when major awards are handed out in a ceremony involving envelopes. Sounds like stamp collecting to us!

But that is so last year. This is the Internet: We look forward, right? So we asked what you think of this year's U.S. stamps, the ones that haven't been issued yet.

These polls were meant to be fun, and maybe a little sardonic, sarcastic, or Sarkozy. (Don't ask me, it starts with "sar-" and he's a stamp collector.) They were not scientific, and they don't prove much.
