AND LIBERTY FOR ALL



No, that's not the Statue of Liberty escaped from Battery Park waltzing down Dixie Highway.
The other day, your Churchillian correspondent was having lunch in Taylor's Bistro when Mr. Liberty stopped in -- wearing that green cape and a hat with points coming out.
Your correspondent wasn't sure whether to stand up and salute or laugh.
Mr. Liberty told the waitress -- apparently accustomed to his outfit -- that he will be waving to curious motorists until tax day on April 15.
He says it gets hot out there. How much business he brings in, Mr. Liberty said he is unsure.
The waitress handed him his coffee. Watching Mr. Liberty reach under his cape for cash to pay seemed somehow unpatriotic. Then, with a flourish, he gathered his cape, straighted his pointy hat, and walked out the door.
He resumed his pedestal -- er, position -- on Dixie.
