Happy Columbus Day

My kids were all taught in school that Christopher Columbus brought famine, disease, pestilence, muffin-top pants, P-Diddy and Raman noodles to the New World and that all of this so annoyed the aboriginal peoples that they packed up and moved to squalid Indian Reservations northwest of Santa Fe, NM.

Yet we ignore all of this history and celebrate Columbus Day anyway.
