Nope, just the libtards’ one.
It’s always been bigger in areas with lots of Italian-Americans, maybe a sort of Italian Pride day? Growing up in Portland where we didn’t have much of an Italian community we were barely conscious of it and never had it off as a holiday. I know banks are open on Monday in California, but the courts are closed.
A small number of Italian-Americans have parades and schools used to do some stuff for it, but really, it’s just what a British person would call a bank holiday for most people.
It originally started among the Italian communities as a pro-italian/catholic festivity when perhaps they were not consider so welcome here. So maybe it still has some meaning for those communities, maybe a parade in NY or something. Otherwise, no.

A question from someone who lives in the UK: do most communities in the US celebrate Columbus on Columbus Day?

Bexar County is San Antonio in case people were wondering. You know...the 7th largest city in the US.
No firearms are allowed to be used? Chechnya is one step ahead of the United States then.
you could have stopped at “representative from NY” and i would have gotten the picture
He’s a rather corrupt Democratic representative from NY.
Someone who no stranger to ethics violations and political scandal.
The Speaker of the House? That’s what I call my wife!
Gawker literally outed a private citizen for clicks. Their reasoning is, “if we don’t post the pictures the readers will look them up somewhere else.” It’s disgusting but we should know better than to expect better of Gawker media sites.
I’m really curious to find out why the gawker site has kept the graphic screenshots of this on their website all day, and people have been complaining about it all day without any response from Gawker staff, while Jezebel does (what I personally feel is the) correct thing and chooses not to post the pictures at all.…
Ariana Grande?
I mean it’s always Harvey Weinstein, isn’t it? And I wouldn’t assume that
Ashley Judd means males when she says actors, she may not like to say actress.
