The Lady Stands Tall Once More

As I mentioned in this morning's StupidiNews, the Statue of Liberty is finally reopening to the public today after having been closed since Hurricane Sandy.

She didn’t even get her skirt wet.

She reopens to visitors today amid fanfare — visiting dignitaries, fireworks, music.

The biggest problem was below ground, however, where floodwaters damaged heating and cooling equipment, sewage treatment equipment and most of the island’s power supply.

The good news is Lady Liberty is ready to go after the island's tune-up and stands once again as a symbol of the United States of America.  It's good enough news to make you want to go down to Coney Island and have a hot dog or 69.
