You heard me. I didn't stutter. Happy Columbus Day!
Aren't we glad that guy was crazy enough not just to believe the world is round, but to believe he could sail all the way to China or India in those tiny little ships? Yes, we are. And thank you, Spain, for the funding.
Here in Los Angeles, the City won't celebrate the occasion at all because, well, he wasn't Latino, was he? There are, however, events galore to celebrate "Latino Heritage Month," because here in L.A., it's not what you achieve that's important, it's the color of your skin that makes you special.
Indeed, the City of Los Angeles has prepared an 88-page guide to Latino Heritage Month, "presented by Antonio Villaraigosa" and the Department of Cultural Affairs, using your tax money.
Plus, your money paid for a Latino Heritage Month poster competition and writing competition, and God only knows how many special "events" for a purely, expressly, overtly race-based celebration.
I guess that's why they couldn't afford a Columbus Day Parade, or Fourth of July Parade, huh?
GREAT! Our tax dollars hard at work. Isn't this the type of service the general public majority wants? For heaven's sake! What would the citizens of LA do if the clowncil would actually do their job providing actual services?
ReplyDeleteIt's about celebrating, Bato! There's NO reason to spend the taxpayer's money:
- to fill those silly potholes or resurface streets
- to fix street lights
- to having police to patrol the streets
- to control criminal gang activity (if it's not the mayor's gang doing it)
- do crime investigations
- to keep fire stations open
- to fix the debt collection processes
- to keep libraries open as long as Villarbaboso & the clowncil are writing literature for the libraries
What do you...Hey!
Wait! Wasn't LAST month Illegal Immigrant Month? You mean we get two (2) months out of the year to be proud of our selves? Fantastico! Now I feel proud that they're spending all this money on getting our vote.
BTW, how long before the ambulance gets here on a 9-1-1 call? Fast, right?
Do you think that if Columbus were to discover The Peoples Republic of Obama today he would rush back to Spain and be believed? He'd probably be laughed at as he tried to explain the way the country is run by a bunch of elitists who want to tax everyone and everything. The Queen of Spain would probably lock him up for wasting her money on finding a place that's no different from Spain.
ReplyDeleteIn the spirit of Columbus Day, and Latino Heritage month, why don't y'all head over to the LA Slimes and take part in their poll on whether we should send donations to Nicky Diaz to help her out until she gets her payoff.

In the real world "Columbus Day" does not exist, it is celebrated instead as el dia de los hispanicos, National Hispanic Day. The Bank of America which caters to this group declares it on their walls. Of course if you have the the day off, by all means take it and perhaps have some mexicano food as you listen to la cucaracha. Ole
ReplyDeleteHave no fear, this insanity won't last because America can't last. Then the only thing to fear is the fear you have for your life.
