Viva Cinco de Mayo!

I showed up at work today with a never-before-worn Cinco de Mayo tee shirt that has languished in my cupboard for more than three years.

So yeah, I am alone celebrating here south of the south. Well no-one knows what the hell it means, can't blame 'em really. ;)

Wikepedia says:

"Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for "fifth of May") is a voluntarily observed holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín."

I wonder how the celebrations will go down in Arizona.

I read that the Phoenix Suns will take a stand by wearing the words "Los Suns" on their team jerseys at a game tonight.

A baseball union is also speaking up and calling SB 1070 racist.

I also read that the "Phoenix-based National Socialist Movement, a neo-nazi white supremacist group is sponsoring “Report An Illegal” Day on the same day Cinco de Mayo is celebrated."

Eish my head hurts.

AnyHowze, Viva Cinco de Mayo.

Onward!
