Yeah, we missed Cinco de Mayo here at the JiggsCasey.com, but I thought I'd make it up to our southern brothers from another colonial mother so I read the wiki on Cinco de Mayo.
I knew that Cinco de Mayo wasn't Mexican Independence day, and that it had to do with Napoleon III's (worst dictator sequel ever) invasion of Mexico. I thought it was when the Mexicans kicked the French out in the 1860s, but apparently not. No, it was just an early victory over the invading French army before Mexico got their asses occupied for a few years. We could at least celebrate when the French were finally defeated (February 5) or when they shot General Maximillian (June 19).
Hell, let's just officially rename it Coronas and Limes Day.
