Columbus Day!

For years I believed a bunch of the worst stuff flying around about Columbus, and it turned out to be untrue. Apparently he his actions were, nevertheless, notably suboptimal. I've never gotten the time/energy/curiosity worked up to get the straight dope on him, though. I'm back to acknowledging Columbus Day, though, because the lefties hate him so much, and I am, as you may have noticed, way past fed up with their nutty antics. But their complaints actually seem to have a factual basis in this case. Stopped clock and all that...
