Friday, 15 April 2011, LAS VEGAS - The USPS recently reissued one of its "Forever" stamps -- supposedly meaning "Forever" will pay for first-class postage "forever" even after the one-ounce US postage rate surpasses the 13 trillion dollar current US debt ceiling, just take our word for it -- with the new US denominational stamp once again bearing the wrong image of the Statue of Liberty from a Las Vegas casino which the USPS earlier included on the first "Forever - we will do anything to keep our jobs" stamp issue.
Rather than what is believed to be the "real" Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor given to the United States by France over 100 years ago, the USPS stamp version depicts the miniature "Lady Liberty" reproduced in half size for cash by a Las Vegas teenager -- not from France -- for display behind a fake New York harbor in the New York, New York Casino.
Although the unlimited digital NY Times (FREE AGAIN NEW YORK TIMES BY USING A FIREFOX BROWSER SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING") made the pithy observation that former NY mayor Ed Koch might be touchy and call the USPS blunder "stupid", the MGM casino management likes the replica, which can only be seen in its lobby, better than the original. Although no one is known to have emigrated into the United States via ship through the lobby of the casino, the casino is laughing all the way to the bank.
The USPS "praises" the idiotic stamp, too, and plans to keep it. Either give themselves in the USPS all a raise and a medal, as in Joseph Heller's "Catch-22" to Americans for arranging to bomb their own airfield and in addition an empty expanse of ocean, or USPS management fire itself and make itself buy the stamps with their very early retirement pensions. Not a difficult decision for USPS management.
Stay tuned for more USPS postage stamps bearing United States landmarks and national treasures reproduced from pictures USPS workers take of morning television cartoons while working to keep your mail late and your costs up.
