    Columbus Day...

    ...a holiday celebrating one of the worst people ever to visit new lands. The damned eye-ties might have pushed harder and gotten a federal holiday set aside for Mussolini. Or, perhaps, the Spaniards might have bullied Congress to create a Conquistador Day.

    All Columbus ever did was decimate native populations with diseases and enslave them for his masters in Europe.

    Better watch out, Albi. You might wake up with a horse's head in your bed tomorrow.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Only in Amurika would we honor a white guy who was lost, who 'found' people who were not lost. I understand the male ego thing about not admitting being lost while traveling. Today, we should honor our founding fathers.

    I truly and most sincerely mean this from the top to the bottom of my heart...


    Fuck Christopher Columbus. Fuck him with all the native weaponry all the early nations could muster. Fuck him with all the previous history that was here LONG before his treacherous ass arrived...both native AND european...oh, AND polynesian/asian, etc...just plain fuck that guy, and his scoundrel crew.


    He was not the first european, that is a well known fact since 1960. And above all else, he was nothing more than a white devil in a land only new to him...so what im trying to say is this.

    Im not happy that my bank is closed today because of this asshole, my paycheck still hasnt cleared. Thanks, you fluffy-pantaloon wearing dick.


    Ok gents, thanks for that podium...back to you. :)

    I wouldn't hold my breath for an invite to join the Knights of Columbus if I were you.
