The AP reports (and thus you can choose to read about it at the outlet of your choice, of which one example is above) that instead of depicting the real Statue of Liberty on its new stamp as planned, the USPS has accidentally used a picture of the fake statue from the New York New York casino in Las Vegas.

The USPS is not recalling the stamp. Seems appropriate to me: it strikes me that we have long since passed the point were, as citizens, we prefer Disney-style mockups of our history and heritage to the real things. Why not be frank about it?
