i don't get it. . .i just don't. why on earth do we celebrate columbus day?? i mean, i would have gladly stayed at home in the bed if i had the day off. . .but why is it even an option? what did this man do that is worthy of a federal holiday?
i mean, the other day i discovered a louis vuitton store in a place where i didn't know one existed. . .do i get a holiday? or do i have to go and slaughter the people who worked and shopped there long before i happed upon it? or, in addition, should i go steal some people (and threaten to cut off the ears and noses of any who resist) to help me make the most of my newfound discovery? maybe then i could have my own federal holiday!!
anyway, so today i'm going to mourn the native americans and the africans whose lives were never to be the same after 'in fourteen hundred ninety two, columbus sailed the ocean blue'
