Max: Screw Columbus Day
Columbus did not discover the Americas. There were already people here. You can't discover what has already been found.
Aristarchus of Samothrace calculated the circumference of the Earth 1600 years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue and the fact that Earth is a sphere was known even earlier.
When it came down to it, Columbus was a money hungry conman. Instead of celebrating him we should be setting this day aside as a day of atonement, a day to acknowledge this nation's bloody roots.

Donald Hussein Dobberstein.... no... it just doen't flow for our kid, sorry.
Oh- and yeah... Columbus Day is a big stupid holiday, but at least stuff is on sale and some people get off work/school, right?
I don't know that I ever got Columbus Day off.
But then, why would I want to spend a day relaxing with my family when I could be rotting in a beige cubicle, taking shit for other people's stupidity?
