So the kids were out of school yesterday; all banks and government offices were closed as well to observe Columbus Day. For many it’s just another day off and nothing special. Which is pretty sad when you think about it, because if it wasn’t for Chris, well, there’d quite possibly be no jobs, schools, or banks here in the not-so-new world back then. Let’s be honest, it’s not everyday that someone on their way to the store for some goodies, will “discover” something or anything that will forever change the trajectory of existence and life as we know it. That is with exception to the onetime I found out that touching a certain body part not only gave me fuzzy feelings; but also a real sticky substance reminiscent of okra. I kinda sorta digress, but you get my point.
Discovering a whole new world is a pretty bug fucking deal; so big, that I’m sure Joe Biden will endorse it as such. Which when you think about it, there’s some irony to Mitt Romney giving a major speech on foreign policy, on Columbus Day of all days. After all, there’s something sleazy about Romney in a slave-trader sorta way like Christopher Columbus, O.G. of all one-percenters.
