On October 11, 2010, the Federal Office of Management and Budget observes the invasion of the Americas by Christophorus Columbus (aka Christoffa Corombo, Cristoforo Colombo, Cristóvão Colombo, Christovam Colom, and Cristóbal Colón), a Genoese private contractor working for the government of Castille. U.S. Federal employees have Monday off. Even at the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Of course, senators and congressmen have every Monday off. Every Friday, too.
God Bless America.
Note: Monday, Oct. 11, 2010 is Native American Day in South Dakota.
