"Tuesday's donation took place (in San Antonio) on a Mexican holiday as the troops flew their flag at half-staff in honor of the Boy Heroes of the Battle of Chapultepec."

This has received considerable coverage on the L.A. Spanish language stations.

Haven't seen video yet of them feeding anyone who looks like an evacuee.

This morning saw video of what appeared to be American firemen or LEOs being fed.

All revelers invited to Diez y Seis fest"

Not to be confused with Cinco de Mayo, the day in 1862 when the Mexican army defeated the French, Dies y Seis de Septiembre observes Mexico's independence from Spain.

It was Sept. 16, 1810, when a local Dolores parish priest named Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla gave the famous battle cry, or grito, declaring the end of Spanish rule, equal rights for all people, and the redistribution of land.

Mexican army?

Diesel engine-powered generators that were eating up $30,000 a day in fuel have been replaced by electric power lines installed by City Public Service Energy, said Tom Wendorf, department director.

Gotta be a typo. Even at $3 per gallon for diesel, that's 10,000 gallons per day, or over 400 gallons per hour. That's a lot of diesel generators!

We have been invaded.

[Happy2BMe]

Yes. Authorized to cross the border. Over 200.

It is Sept. 14, 2005 and it has been 185 years since Mexico declared it's independence from Spain. Spanish rule is over, there are equal rights for all people, the redistribution of land is complete and the diaspora continues on as scheduled. Viva Mexico.

While working at one shelter last week I had a lunch prepared by the Mexican Army. Beef stew, rice and some sort of lentil dish. Not bad.

The interesting part of having them around was having to look up what the Mexcan Army's rank insignia look like. 2LT is the same (although their subdied is dark blue, not black), all other officer ranks are different.

I had to chuckle. Several years ago, some friends and I were at a Mexican restaurant called The Alamo. It took 45 minutes to get our food to the table, and by then most of us were getting shaky with hunger. We had decided by then that the reason all those Texans died at The Alamo was that they starved; the Mexicans were supposed to bring the food but never did.

=============================

Flip the coin. Let's say Katrina had hit Mexico instead of the United States.

Would the United States have sent the U.S. Army to assist in recovery efforts or would the United States have sent private disaster relief organizations into Mexico?

For that matter, would Mexican president Fox have authorized United States troops to deploy into Mexican territory under any circumstances?

The troops have landed!

The people are rejoicing!

What glorious times we live in!

Wouldn't this be the perfect timing to go ahead and just tear down that terrible border?

When will the president (Bush) announce it?

[hispanarepublicana]

By the way, what happened to our token quisling Swampy?

[Happy2BMe]

Part of the kitchen crew that came in from Nuevo Lardeo and too busy making beef stew and rice to get to his laptop?

[DumpsterDiver]

I am flying the glorious flag of Mexico as we speak.

When will the president (Bush) announce it?

Soon, amigo, soon. Victory is nigh!
