Yeah, yeah, he may have been a murderous barbarian who enslaved Native Americans, he was dumb enough to think America was India, and died in poverty. But, hey, he was Italian, and that counts for a lot. I took the day off to honor him, because it's pretty hard to ignore his historical significance, no matter what side of the political fence you're on. I mean, these Italian explorers were pretty gutsy guys. Kind of entrepreneurial astronauts.
