    I think Rubino and Markstein have some issues with Columbus (yesterday’s and today’s comics). They’d be right to.

    He landed in Hispaniola, the island shared by Haiti and Dominican Republic. On his second voyage he landed in Puerto Rico. He could have used a GPS unit.

    Actually recent studies show that Columbus was Spanish, from a southern province that had been fighting Ferdinand and Isabella, so he claimed to be Italian to fool them. None of his letters were written in Italian, only Spanish, even when he wrote to people in Italy.

    Say what you will but it was Columbo’s expedition that, for better and for worse, led to the permanent European colonization of the “New World.”

    Still, if the Scaninavians had just stuck around, we probably wouldn’t be so terrified of state-run medicine…
