Columbus Day 2008: October 2008 Archives
Only In The US
Here in the US today we celebrate Columbus Day. Why? He didn't discover the United States, he discovered "the Americas" He landed well south of the US and therefore, it would be a holiday more for Southern and Central America than the US.
Also, Columbus wasn't that nice of a guy anyway. He was cruel to the natives when he arrived and was a religious nut job just like the ones we are dealing with at the Palin rallies. He wanted to obliterate non-Christians. My how things have changed.
So, celebrate today for what it is, the guy after all gave us a day off. Can't have too many of those can we?
