The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The 5th Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is primarily a regional holiday celebrated in the Mexican state capital city of Puebla and throughout the state of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico, and especially in U.S. cities with a significant Mexican population. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16.
So my fellow Americans, if they only celebrate it in one state in Mexico and the rest of the states don't give a rat's ass about it, then why in the heck do we in this nation give it even the time of day?
Go Figure.......well glad I did not buy a whole car load of fireworks and go out to a Mexican restaurant tonight...
And I see our goof ball President who will not observe the national day of prayer tomorrow is celebrating Cinco De Mayo tonight with a special celebration at the White House....some how I am not surprised....
And lastly congrats to Dan Coats the next Senator from Indiana, I hope....He is a good man..I regretted it when he chose to retire 12 years ago imposing term limits on himself...He was a good Senator and will be again....
