Holiday?

I,m not sure I understand cinco de mayo, a festival celebrating a Mexican victory over France in 1862? It seems to have more of a .....'in your face America 2008' feel about it!

Well, honestly, that's how I perceive it as well ... a bit 'in your face'.

Funny, thing is here in Texas, it's a big drinking holiday for a lot of folks. A friend of mine (a 6'5" black guy who has dredlocks, wears kilts and is a conservative republican) had a massive party, in fact. He's a lab chemist and makes the best martinis ever. I stopped by, but primly drank only a club soda.
