Today's Poll: What holiday do you celebrate today?

By Howard B. Owens

The city of Columbus Ohio has gone from celebrating columbus and columbus day to increasing the celebration of Veterans day. As the largest city named after the controversial (at best) figure, the people of that city have been in a unique position to consider the whole conversation. They are, to the best of my research, doing the right thing. Available evidence, including a diary of at least one of his subordinates, indicate the GENOCIDAL GENOAN columbus should be the target of scorn rather than reverence, for any person with an once of empathy.

I'll say the same about jeffery amherst, after whom our neighbor city of amherst is named. He was instrumental in the mass murder of, and virtual extinction of a number of American Native tribes. Check here:

Our revered buffalo bills are named for another. What? Yeah
