Plus nobody ever really gave a shit about Christopher Columbus anyways.

You're on the West coast, right? Popular holiday for Italian Americans, particularly in this region (mid Atlantic). Used to be huge.

You never watched The Sopranos?

Yep, Mexifornia. We don't have any wops here. And no, I don't watch TV.

Why would Italian Americans be proud of a fool that got lost exploring for Spain?

Perhaps Americans should start celebrating our notable numbnuts.

Dan Quail day anyone?

Maybe Jeffrey Dahmer week?

''We're Italian, let's celebrate the day another Italian guy got turned down by our own government, so sailed for another country, tried looking for Asia, got lost, and arrived at the wrong place...second, by the way.''

Amerigo 'discovered' a land people already lived in. Even that wasn't much of an accomplishment.

Ask native americans how Columbus' ''discovery'' worked out for them...

All "Federal Holiday" really means anymore is the mail won't be delivered and trash pick-up is a day behind schedule.

Hallmark holidays mean so much more these days. btw, it's almost Valentine's or St. Patrick's or something...

I wouldn't have been offended if my school served up a Loco Moko plate with macaroni salad.

Dude, you don't have to tell me nothing, I happen to be married to a Native American.

And frankly, I'm with the people who say let's just drop the whole black history month altogether, that's just sort of a back handed form of segregation. It's just "American History".
