More we-are-winning-the-battle kind of news today: the Statue of Liberty is ‘open’ again, in the same kind of way that ‘anyone’ can be President or get reservations at Nobu. The Statue is now ‘run’ by one of those ‘private-public’ organizations, like the Central Park Conservancy, and it turns out they are just as paternal and high-handed. Thus, in a fit of symbolism that anyone who isn’t a white guy will appreciate, visiting the Liberty Island (which I assume still requires removing your belt to get through security), affords the opportunity to look up the innards of the Statue through a glass-ceiling. And, like CP, let’s all pretend to be surprised when it turns out that this vigiliant concern about security is shit-canned the second Disney wants to shoot a television show or someone wants to hold a fundraiser there.
