wow...we're celebrating Columbus discovering diddly squat
Happy Post Columbus Day!! I had the day off to celebrate Christopher Columbus "discovering" America
(Now for my daily rant)...Any moron with the slightest knowledge of World History knows Columbus didn't discover shit. Ahem,....weren't several million people already living in both North and South America?...for like several thousand years since our last ice age? That, of course, is a tiny detail which, for continuity's sake, our country can't possibly acknowledge. If we had to, just imagine all the people who would be overwhelmed with confusion! The Holiday is, more than anything else, a lesson in racism. BTW, I was just kidding earlier. I think most people DO know and schools DO teach that Columbus didn't discover shit. It's the celebration of the Holiday, when seen from a historical perspective, that bears out the underlying racism. Racism as it relates to how one World View trumps other World Views.
So, what has happened in the world since my last blog.....the Congressman Foley scandal, the release of Woodward's book "State of Denial", Several school shootings, including a horrific and heartbreaking shooting in Amish country, 60 more dead and mutilated bodies found in the Iraqi killing fields, continued ethnic cleansing in Darfur, and North Korea tests a nuclear device. Jesus, I can go on and on with my political rantings,... but I just can't...not only because it wouldn't provide me an iota of emotional catharsis, but more so because I'm just too depressed over it all.
So instead, I'll talk about my week so far...it's much less sensational and less bloody to boot. Car problem solved: took it to my mechanic, he spent 10 minutes under the hood with ONE tiny screwdriver and said it was fixed (and it is BTW) WOO HOO!. "How much?" I asked him...."Nuthin, have a safe drive home"....Double WOO HOO! Back yard work all weekend...the wife and I are putting in sod and the prep work is back breaking. And lastly; work is, as usual, full of psychosis and super interesting clients with unbelievable (but true) stories that, for reasons of confidentiality, I can't blog about.
So that's it for now,...I have to finish my egg drop soup and get back to work.
