The deco cast alumninum statues of Justice and Law that Ashcroft concealed are uncovered again. Major reports talk money:

"Covering the statues with curtains cost the US government $8,000" [BBC]

"The sculptures... cost U.S. taxpayers a total of $7,275" [Post]

Those dollar figures are separated by 69 years (2002 and 1933, respectively), but the cost is still remarkable. I'd bid on those curains if the government surplus would put them up on ebay!
