There’s a new sentence to throw on the pile of things I never thought I’d type: Columbus Day shenanigans. You can’t ignore the fact that Columbus Day has become a political dividing line. It seems to work like this: If you call it Columbus Day, you’re a right winger. If you call it Indigenous Peoples Day, you’re a Liberal. Seems accurate. But this is where it gets interesting. The shenanigans. The memes. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think a ‘Holiday’ like Columbus Day would be the subject of memes. That’s just part of the Columbus Day magic, I guess.
