The Statue of Liberty.

       Good news from Washington and New York this morning. It appears that vandals have defaced the Statue of Liberty over night. All freedom loving citizens are up in arms. A collection has begun to refurbish and restate the damaged portion of the statue. Millions have already been collected and a contest to restate the inscription has begun.
        The portion of the monument that was defaced and eliminated was the inscription that read " Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free etc". Of course it no longer held meaningful sentiments for a society that has changed in it's beliefs without changing it's beliefs. This country wants any huddled masses and the poor to be strongly encouraged to stay home lest they be classified as illegal aliens.
       The new inscription was reported by a commenter on the Daily Kos website's article about Sen. Marco Rubio and some Florida Congresswoman who vehemently oppose normalization of relations with Cuba because, they believe, it only provides money to a cruel, repressive and murderous Communist regime. Speaking of  cruel, repressive and murderous, Communist regimes, both Sen. Rubio and the lady Congressman were pleased to take all expenses paid, by China, trips to travel to China. And their heads of staffs also got to go for free. Apparently China is far less repressive, and cruel than Cuba.
       At any rate, the new inscription on the Statue of Liberty will read "give me your English-speaking, Christian believing, heterosexual masses" to which I would add "already educated and yearning to start new companies". Because after all, that's what this country has always stood for. It's what our founding fathers wanted. Well, that and slaves.
