For years, a U.S. Postal Service stamp mistakenly bore the image of a Lady Liberty replica.
That statue welcomes visitors to the New York-New York Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and between 2010 and 2014, it earned the Postal Service over $70 million in profits.
Last week, Las Vegas sculptor Robert Davidson was awarded $3.5 million from the Postal Service in a lawsuit.
The confusion started a decade ago, when the Postal Service decided to update its line of "forever" stamps with an image featuring Lady Liberty.
According to court documents, a stamp development manager at the time started by gathering stock images of the Statue of Liberty — all possibilities for the new stamp. But he didn't realize that his final choice was not, in fact, a photograph of the national monument.

Just think of the little mistake many people in this country did by voting for Hitler-y!
I just noticed the Blubber Blogger is trying to sell his Blubber Blogger Swag items to supplement his EBT Card, Food Stamps, SNAP and housing vouchers.
