I think Chili Rellenos and Huevos Rancheros have recently ceased to be my favorite food.
Back to meat and taters, I guess.

San Diego is going belly-up and the bureaucrats designate another day off with pay for themselves. The public isn't deserving of endless paid vacations.

Last week I heard that Denver municipal offices were closed to honor Ceasar Chavez. Don't know for sure but that's the word I heard.

I still don't know why they don't have a "Karl Marx" Day.

Cesar Chavez opposed illegal aliens because they drove wages down.
LOL
Their little commi hero didn't want the criminals here either.

What a dumb excuse for a holiday! There are several days that are much more real holidays that are ignored...
To: Awestruck
And I had promised my wife to learn "salsa dancing" with her this evening. Told her yesterday my heart just wasn't in it this week.

At one time old Cesar Chavez did some good for the farm workers here in Calif, also tried to keep the Illegals out too,but I too think it dumb to name a holiday after him, unfortunately the coast is where all the LIB's live, and tips the election balance to the blue side..

Growing up on 120 acres of grapes in the Central Valley (part of what my dad owned), I got a first hand look at Chavez and his mob tactics. It was a very scary time when he and his crew rolled into town during harvest time. They threatened the workers with raping and murdering their wives and daughters if the workers didn't join his union. Many of the workers were scared and talked to my dad about what was going on.
Under Chavez's orders, his followers slashed tractor tires and burned parts of crops. My dad gave me strict orders not to leave the house.
One day, Chavez's thugs slashed the wrong tractor tires and burned the wrong yard. They had unkowingly attacked many Japanese farmers in our community. Those farmers cried racism and got it all publicized. The pictures of burned tractors in the papers was enough to drive Chavez and his thugs out of our area.
Sorry this is so long, but after all these years this is all still very vivid. None of us felt safe (including the migrant workers) and now this guy is honored? A very sore spot with me!
