    How are you observing Cinco De Mayo? Tacos for lunch? Margaritas with dinner? Until today I never really read up on what was being celebrated. Apparently France was invading Mexico and this day honors a big victory in favor of the Mexican army. linky[^] Isn't this going a little overboard Mexico? I mean, if there was a holiday for every time somebody beat the French..... I kid, I kid. :laugh:

              Unfortunately, the victory was short lived. It seems very mexican find reason for celebration in defeats. cf. Ni~nos Héroes[^]

                  Do you actually have to invade or just suggest it to secure their surrender?

                    Well it makes sense that they would loose that battle. France wasn't involved. The opponent was the US in that one.

                        There's a thought on how to fix immigration. Have the INS offer $50 a head for every illegal you point out to them. A bounty on all illegals. Now the illegals become a source of revenue. If you know 10 illegals you just made $500. I'd even be willing to bet this would be a cheaper solution than however we're trying to find them now.

                          I officially point out San Antonio. 900,000+ people at $50 a head.... that's.... carry the 1... I'm rich!

                          Don't blame me. I voted for Chuck Norris.
