Most useless 'Holiday'?

Why is this still a federal holiday?

The dude didn't discover shit.

Yay, he found new land that was already inhabited by people.


:D

It's gives all the lazy overpaid union government workers ANOTHER day off while the other 99% of us work!

At least traffic here today around the beltway will be light

I've read where some cities have changed this to Indigenous People's Day. I understand the reasoning, but, while I'm sure such a holiday would be recognized, I wonder if the federal government and banks would give their employees the day off for that.

It gives me four days off so I could care less about the meaning, as long as I get more time with the family.

Once upon a time, a guy sailed to the wrong place, killed the people he found, and took their stuff. As a result, 523 years later, my bank is not open.

This is a true story.

It's my birthday, so I like that about it and when I was a kid, I got cake and stuff before Halloween, so October was all about the extra sweets. Now I don't care about cake, though.

Ok, you got me a little. ONCE in a great while, I do like a slice of homemade German chocolate cake. But it's not often. I made my own cake 2 years ago and that was the first one I baked. Store bought ones, however... dry as a desert on cloudless day and I can do without!
