Happy Columbus Day

Hey, I am all for celebrating the Admiral of the Ocean Sea's voyage of genocidal conquest discovery.  

Before that controversy, Columbus' contribution was controversial over him being Catholic and from a Southern European background (even though John Cabot who sailed for England was really named Giovanni Caboto and was Catholic too).  Columbus Day only became a federal holiday in 1937 when FDR was trying to get the Italian American vote.  But Tony Soprano's words of wisdom here are pretty darn good.  



I wonder if Elizabeth Warren celebrates Columbus Day?

Update:
Bob Belvedere celebrates Columbus Day!
No Singing Moe!   At least not during family viewing hours!
