"I am sure there was no man born marked of God above another, for none comes into the world with a saddle upon his back, neither any booted and spurred to ride him." -- Richard Rumbold (before being hanged 1679) Christopher Columbus, Credibility, Cincinnati, and a Cure By Theresa Fritz Camoriano Christopher Columbus - This Columbus Day, let’s celebrate an American entrepreneur!

His circumlocutious dribble could be more succinctly written: "Democrats good, Republicans bad!"

He is blind so he has a golden retriever named Daisy. After the plane hit 20 stories below, James knew that he was doomed, so he let Daisy go, out of an act of love. She darted away into the darkened hallway. Choking on the fumes of the jet fuel and the smoke James was just waiting to die. About 30 minutes later, Daisy comes back along with James' boss, who Daisy just happened to pick up on floor 112.
