Columbus was a true maritime visionary but lets be honest, Columbus Day to a large degree was a political move to placate the Italian/American community.
....As well an excuse for unionized and .gov employees to have a day off.
Who REALLY gives a damn about Columbus, or celebrates Columbus day? To me, it ranks right up there with Groundhog day in significance. lol
I’m six percent Italian, according to my DNA profile.
So, that entitles me to say Yes! Today’s a Good Day!
