A Portuguese
historian claims – quite convincingly – that America was
discovered by the son of former Polish
king Ladislaus III of Varna, going by the well-know nickname of Christopher Columbus. The aristocrat apparently worked as a secret agent for Portugal (The Polish tabloid ‘Fakt’ has just published
a gripping interview with the scholar).
If it’s
true, it sounds quite explosive: a Lithuanian, appropriated immediately by the
Poles, discovers a continent that is ruled today, to a large degree, by Jews; with whom, to boot, a bunch of frustrated Palestinians have an axe to grind. (I'll leave out of the mixture drunk Native-Americans wielding hatchets to the music played by a Mariachi band, doubling as drug-dealers - or the lot would explode on this very page.)
And some Anglo-Saxons keep dreaming of keeping it somehow together.
PS I strongly believe that reading is good for lower-classes and I occasionally have a go at tabloids mysef, but I have to say that usually after some 5 minutes I end up with acute headache.
