Marcus Aurelius

How about megalomaniacal genocidal maniacs? That would fit nicely too.

We could have a Pol Potluck dinner.

Mugato: Does anyone past the 4th grade even give a shiat about Columbus Day, besides having to figure out if the mail and garbage comes?

SFSailor: Amelia Earhart? Yeah, cuz hiding in the attic counts as exploring. Sheesh.

She wasn't hiding she was just too blind and deaf to know where she was

I say we have Multicultural Week right after Apologist's Day, which would be after Give a Lot of Money to Raise Awareness of Some Dumb Bullshiat month.

I'm sure this would do a lot of good or something.

Normally, I hate this kind of 'inclusive' nonsense; just leave well-enough along.

But this, THIS, is pretty damned good idea (unless we have to include all the sub-groups that had minor, if any, participation in the discoveries, i.e., the gay - if there were any, porters that carried L&C's stuff onto their boat, the women that brought food to the docks for Columbus, the gay women that drove trucks around Cape Canaveral, you know, crap like that cuz if they do, fark it).

I'm a fairly conservative, traditionalist History major who's nauseated by PC idiocy.

I think this is a great idea.

Now we just need to make it like New Years, St Paddys, memorial day, July 4th, Labor day and Halloween, as one of our alcoholidays.

I think it's very vulgar of you to make jokes about Amelia Earhart. The day her Space Shuttle exploded was a tragedy, and you should be ashamed, ASHAMED of yourselves for turning it into some kind of farce.

ashamed

Mugato: Oh God, don't give these "these politically correct libs are destroying Amerka!" retards more ammo. Figurative ammo, not the kind they make in their rec room.

As a gun-toting, reloading, Obama-voting, Southern white male angler working in the defense sector, I approve this message.
