Politico´s Hadas Gold revealed on Thursday that CNN suspended correspondent Elise Labott for two weeks, after she decried the 289 to 137 vote on Syrian refugees by the House of Representatives: "House passes bill that could limit Syrian refugees. Statue of Liberty bows head in anguish". Gold cited an unnamed source at the cable network in her short item, "CNN reporter suspended after tweet on refugees." She pointed out that "several critics, including the Washington Post´s Erik Wemple, said the tweet showed bias," and noted that "Labott did not respond to a request for comment." Wemple spotlighted in his Thursday

Well, if you started patenting and manufacturing the durn things, you Prophet might turn a Profit!
My auntie immigrated to the US in 1958. My parents had to sponsor her.
Well, to a liberal, it creates a homicidal maniac out of them. At least that was the recent case with an ex-Virginia reporter, Vester Lee Flanagan, executing another reporter and cameraman, right on air, carrying a grudge for disciplinary actions against him and his ultimate firing. Can't say how a conservative reporter might behave.
Nope. Who would buy them? The liberals won’t and the conservatives are too busy making up new reasons not to cage liberals.
Great way to solve America’s problem but until rect-crainal inversion ceases to be the default state of the political right, it’s a bad business model.
I suppose I could call it Romeycage and I’d have 65,000,000 people throwing money at it to make it happen though...
Hmmmm...
Probably because unicorns are only real on My little pony cartoons.
The Immigration Act of 1924 limited the number of immigrants allowed entry into the United States through a national origins quota.
The quota provided immigration visas to two percent of the total number of people of each nationality in the United States as of the 1890 national census. It completely excluded immigrants from Asia.

Actually, it wasn't a gift. People from all over donated money for it.
The Statue of Liberty was not a gift from France to America. We have all heard the shorthand that implies that the statue was exchanged government to government. In fact, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, a mid-career statue maker, decided to pitch a country he had never visited before on his vision to build a massive lighthouse in the shape of a woman. In his diaries and letters, he described his journey to all corners of America, from Niagara Falls to Washington, D.C., from Chicago to Los Angeles, to explore this exotic land and drum up support.
When no significant government funding emerged, he contrived every possible fundraising strategy himself. He put on spectacles of wonder in Paris, charged visitors admission to watch the statue’s construction in a dusty workshop, sold souvenirs, and petitioned the French government to let him run a national lottery.
In the end it was Joseph Pulitzer, the American newspaper magnate, who helped him finish the job by printing the names of every person who donated even a penny to the cause. This strategy rapidly boosted the circulation of Pulitzer’s newspaper when readers bought a copy simply to see their names in the paper—a brilliant marketing strategy.
Uh-uh, Romney is too divisive among the libs....might want to brand it the ‘New and Improved ACA’....American Cage Act....that’ll keep ‘em in the dark until it’s too late :-)
Who cares what the libs want? We already proved in 12 people on the right will do anything to attach themselves to Romney’s severe conservatism. They’ll buy anything obviously. Problem solved.
wrap a bomb belt on her

Maybe she can be the Welcome Wagon lady for them.
