In two days some of America will celebrate Columbus Day. Many will curse the Genoan
On October 10, 1492 the great navigator was two hundred miles from land.
In 1973 Vice President Agnew was deposed as Nixon’s vice president for graft.
He once said, “An intellectual is a man who doesn’t know how to park a bike.”
Millions of my generation said, “Go fuck yourself.”
Pseudo-intellectuals are not nattering nabobs of negativism and I celebrate Agnew’s exile into non-existence every year.
Fuck the GOP.
ps Columbus’ fleet had yet to sight land on October 10, 1492. The day meant nothing to his crew, but they all studied the west for a sign of land. Their Admiral had promised a gold coin to the first man to sight China.
