My apologies to my Mexican decent readers...but today, being your holiday...it's time for me to make fun of you!
The truth about Cinco de Mayo...and no, it's not about pounding margaritas at El Vaquero's.
This may be the lamest of holidays...this is how the flow chart reads:
-Mexico's broke ass stopped paying interest on its loans from European powers.
-The French (Holy shit!) got pissed and invaded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-The French got their asses kicked on May 5th, 1862 (typical).
-The French returned and conquered Mexico within a year (Mexico, you are brutal).
-France installed a puppet regime.
-The US pressured France to get out...and they did in 1866.
-For some reason, this holiday is still recognized.
This is like the US celebrating a Saigon Day. I guess when your history consists of nothing but being constantly conquered and exploited, you have to celebrate such meager accomplishments...like beating the French...and then getting conquered by them.
