Monday, October 8, 2012 is Columbus Day. I have yet to see the usual threads bashing the holiday over at the DUmp. Have I missed them?

Oh they will start tomorrow.

Will the DUmmies home with pay bash the Holiday?

I actually have a friend on Facebook that was off last year yet still went into "hate Columbus Day" post although he did acknowledge he liked the day off.

I've seen a couple of snarky posts, one stating, "I will not be celebrating the genocide of Native Americans", or words to that effect. No threads dedicated exclusively to bashing the Evil White Man yet, though. I'm sure they're coming, however, that being a cherished DU tradition.

Here you go. It's a weak start, but the DUmmies are just getting up, being awakened by the light coming through their parents' basement windows.

1. Sad so many don't see it for what it is. K&R. nt
More will be getting up soon. The few that have jobs will be posting from work rather than working, all the while bemoaning what a miserable job they have - no "living wage", no benefits, surrounded by "rethugs", converting "rethugs" - and their miserable lives - having to go to a celebration at the homes of "rethug" relatives - the daily drivel that they seem to wallow in.

I wonder how Elizabeth Warren is holding up today?

I wonder how Elizabeth Warren is holding up today?
Not well.
Sen. Brown holds a substantial 27 point lead over Warren among independent voters. Contrary to popular belief, it is independent voters, not Democrats, who make up the biggest voting block in Massachusetts. In a race as close as this, experts believe that it is the undecided voters who will be picking the winner.

I am still trying to figure out why we are celebrating the birthday of a man for discovering America, when he didn't discover America.

Either way, Columbus didn't discover North America. Leif Ericson (Son of Erik the Red) did...

October 9 is Leif Ericson Day.
Celebrate with the traditional Viking games of strength and skill, but remember these words of wisdom:
Pillage before you burn.

Like most things blame a Dumbocrap.
From Wiki:
In April 1934, as a result of lobbying by the Knights of Columbus, Congress and President Franklin Delano Roosevelt made October 12 a federal holiday under the name Columbus Day

They gave us tobacco.
If the hippy health Nazis to be believed: the natives unleashed a plague greater than "The Plague."

Most of my friends from IL became silent on facebook after the debate. One yahoo posted a picture of Big Bird/Big Turd with Mitt being the second.
I posted that Big Bird is a millionare, part of the 1% and no longer needs to live in Section 8....since then it's been crickets...
Even a guy that claims to be a community organizer...is so very quiet...
So I just can't help myself by tagging them in my posts...lol

A friend of mine posted a pic on facebook that said in honor of Columbus Day, we should break into a house and claim we live there now. I posted that in honor of Indigenous People's Day we should sacrifice some Gitmo prisoners to an Aztec deity.:)
BTW, I changed my FB profile pic to Columbus for today. If any of you have lib friends, you ought to consider it, too.
