I don't think your statement is true. Cinco de Mayo is a "holiday" like St. Patrick's day; pumped up by the beer and liquor companies to boost sales. I call them "Drunk Fratboy Days" and refuse to let my daughter drive at night then.

My kids call it, Cinco de Drinko...

Unfortunately, today I am boycotting Margaritas, so I can't celebrate it anymore....

Budweiser made the holiday to sell the "imported" beers (the brewed in America version of Corona) they were distributing.

'Day without Immigrants' Not So Bad

May 4, 2006

The May 1 boycott didn't appear to faze most Americans. Most weren't even aware there was a boycott. Others said they appreciated the lighter traffic. A few were frustrated with the "lack of understanding" of most of the
illegal immigrants.

Ken Nada of Phoenix said he didn't know anything about the boycott. "I don't pay much attention to the news," said Nada. Living off of income from a trust fund set up by his grandfather, Nada said he spends most of his time getting stoned. "None of this stuff don't make no difference to me. My dealer is still working, so what do I care?"

Los Angeles resident Rodney King said he appreciated the faster work commute. "Usually it takes me an hour to get to work," said King. "Today, I got to work in half the time. I wish every day was a boycott."

In Chicago, Democratic campaign worker Howie Connum expressed frustration at his inability to get many of the protestors to register to vote. "These morons think that because they are here illegally and don't speak English
that they shouldn't vote," said a fuming Connum. "I tell them that their votes are a way to safe guard their rights, but they have an overblown fear of getting caught. There's a basic lack of understanding about how the system works."

Boycott organizers' hopes of sending a message have produced a response that makes it difficult to determine whether the message was received as intended. "We were hoping that fear of unmowed lawns, unmade beds and
unfried tacos would cause Americans to rethink their racist opposition to open borders," said Delictivo Abogar, one of the organizers of the Miami demonstration. "But I guess it will take more time before the importance of these essential services penetrates the thick gringo skulls of the Norte
Americanos."

In related news, the United Front for the Liberation of Aztlan renewed its demand that the Mexican national anthem be played before all sporting events taking place in the states currently known as California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. "For the time being, until we have reclaimed our land, both anthems can be played," said Hernando Cortes, spokesman for UFLA. "After that, we'll see."

St. Patrick's Day: Ireland - holy day commemorating country's patron saint. America - reason to drink too much Guinness.

A couple of years ago....okay, it was 1979, I spent St. Patrick's Day in Dublin while on a college semester abroad. I believe the main concession to the spirit of the day was that they let the pubs stay open an hour later, until 11:00 p.m. When I told the locals that Americans like to celebrate by dyeing our beer green, they almost fainted dead away. Still, it was a great experience for this descendant of Eire.

"Cinco de Drinko" LOL. I'll use that.

My wife and I had Mexican food last night. Tonight, we'll go out for a good ol' American steak.

That's a diplomatic way of saying they're "clueless."
