Politics My take on politics. And a question.

OK. Hopefully this won't freak anyone out.
Suddenly think that the Moose is a racist, sexist pig.
Or I feel that a veteran is the best choice for Commander-in-Chief.

BUT! Where did the "Columbia" in District of Columbia come from?


HA! Had you all nervous with that intro, didn't I?

But seriously folks... Maybe I was snoozing that day in Goverment class. I don't know. But where does the word 'Columbia' fit in with the capital of the USA? Did we have some deal with the country of Columbia? Is it some kinda twist on Christopher Columbus's name?

All that stuff with who gets elected and thier platforms and whatnot will work itself out. I'M willing to ask the tough questions.

ROTFLMAO

Yup you got it.... a reference to Christopher Columbus. It says its and early poetic reference to the US and a reference to Mr Columbus.

And here I thought it might be related to those COlumbia jacket peeps.

You are now my chief speech writer. I need people brave enough to spout semi-coherent gibberish as well as you on my team.

You got my vote! We need someone in the white House with a sense of humor. I, for one, can't wait for the new Federal Holidays you would come up with.

You've got two speechwriters & a spinmeister already. You are on the road, my friend.
