The 5 of May!


WOOOH! School's out for summer! Three whole months of daytime TV and Spaghetti-O's. I am exactly 20 minutes away from putting on a sombrero and getting loaded on my side porch. Cinco de Mayo is a special holiday. Exactly, four days after the Hispanics pissed of America, we are willing to look the other way and get drunk. Why? Because on this day 144 years ago, 5,000 ill-equiped Mexican Natives beat the shit out of the French. We can look past the whole open borders thing. The Alamo. That whole "Zimmerman Compromise", because as Americans we love it when the French get dropped. So, open and beer, pour a little on the curb, and thank God that General Ignacio Zaragoza did his damn thang on Napoleon III. Napoleon III? That is like Gallagher & Gallahger II. Same act, and just as bad.

I am so not surprised that it was the French that got beat. I mean, seriously, have they ever won a war?
