Yes! I got the day off because our government had the wisdom many years ago to celebrate the failure of a man to discover the mainland North America. Nevermind the fact that if he HAD landed here he would've been late by at least 400 years as far as Eurpeans go and maybe more if you want to consider the possiblitly that the Chinese landed on the west coast hundreds of years before that!
Worst holiday in the world. If we have to have a national holiday today lets at least honor something real, hell just call it harvest day (even though most harvests are long completed).
