Cinco de Mayo in the United States is nothing but a “Beer Holiday” for Budweiser and Corona to sell more beer. It is also “Amateur Night” for all the rookie drinkers who will try to drive after having too much to drink.

Here's your former president celebrating Cinco De Mayo up in the White House.

Is pretty sad when here in Texas that Cinco de Mayo “holiday” has more of a following/celebration rite than an infinitely more important day: San Jacinto Day (April 21)… recognizing the day Texas won/sealed its independence from Mexico… when General Sam Houston and his charges b**ch slapped Mexican general Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón ‘s army.

why do we celebrate a holiday for the defeat of the French when the French were fighting in Mexico?

I have been working the last few days with a legal immigrant from Puebla, the city in Mexico where the battle was fought back on Cinco De Mayo in 1862. He speaks very little English, but I can converse in Spanish so we discussed many things. He said Cinco De Mayo is only celebrated in Puebla south of the border, and that Mexican Independence Day is the truly important holiday in Mexico. He won’t do anything special tomorrow, it’s just not that important to him.
