    Interesting....all the Federal Credit Unions in my area are closed. They usually abide by the Federal Holidays.

    I live in Fargo and would have to agree. We need to fight for a Norse Holiday!

    In 1992 Columbus was slighted by all the politically correct
    people.

    Now they want the name of the Washington Redskins changed and Obama
    is on board.

    Maybe they will recall all the buffalo nickels.

    Just stupid.

    I think the people already inhabiting the land discovered America. We've just been brainwashed by Eurocentric history books. image

    But did they?

    How could you possibly discover something that already has folks living in it?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Which is absolutely stupid, since the team name has nothing to do with the skin color of any race. The name "Redskin" refers to the color of the war paint worn by some native American tribes.

    Lt. James H. Simpson of the US Army Corps of Engineers coined the word "Redskins"
    in 1849 New Mexico to describe natives who would mix animal fat with red dirt
    and put it on their faces and bodies as a form of sunscreen.

    His name is one of the inscriptions on New Mexico's El Morro Rock.

    Discover
    1.find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search.
    "firemen discovered a body in the debris"
    synonyms:
    find, locate, come across/upon, stumble on, chance on, light on, bring to light, uncover, unearth, turn up; track down

    Columbus brought to light the existence of the new world to Europe. So to say Columbus discovered america in his search is a correct use of the word.

    We say an astronomer discovered a new planet and yes the planet already existed. It might already contain life too.

    Yes as do many US workers since it's a national holiday.

    Mail moves in mysterious ways . While lobby windows were closed and
    there was no home/business delivery of first class-priority, the USPS did
    stop into our B&M to pick up about 8 of those white tubs of outgoing
    EBAY stuff . I believe (but not sure) that Express mail is also delivered .
    Also , if you drive Interstates frequently , you may have noticed trailer
    trucks with a US-MAIL placard hauling to a hub or airport on sundays .


    P.S.
    Aren't redskins those canned peanuts that make a mess on your keyboard?
