and I had one pic with the Statue of Liberty in a wheelchair,
and another with it being pulled down.
Now, it looks like the US Post Office is getting in on the game.
The US post office uses the Statue of Liberty or pictures of it
for its stamps.
This time though, there was a Freudian slip, perhaps a Faustian one too.
They used the replica of Lady Liberty from a CASINO in LAS VEGAS.
Lady Libation.

Lady Liberty stamp shows wrong statue

(AP) – Apr 15, 2011
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Post Office has made a huge mistake on a stamp honoring an icon of America, the Statue of Liberty.
It turns out that a first-class mail stamp featuring the Miss Liberty is based on a photo of a replica of the statue at a Las Vegas, Nevada gambling casino.
Postal Service spokesman Roy Betts said 3 billion stamps have been printed, and they will not be pulled from the market. The 44-cent forever stamp has been on sale in coils since December and is to be released in booklet form.
The actual Statue of Liberty has appeared on more than 20 stamps previously, Betts said.
The mistake, first reported by Linn's Stamp News.
In the Post Office's news release in December announcing the stamp, the service said the Statue of Liberty was shown in a close-up photograph of her head and crown.
Linn's, a weekly magazine for stamp collectors, noted that the stamp shows a rectangular patch on the crown of the statue. Such a patch does not appear on the statue in New York Harbor that has welcomed millions of immigrants to their new home.
In addition, the magazine said, the eyes, eyelids and eyebrows on the replica appeared more sharply defined than on the original statue, and the hair was different.
