Feliz Cinco de Mayo a todos!
A commenter sent me this email. Thanks for the heads up!
Today is the happy celebration of the fifth of May. And while not a major celebration South of the border it has become a tradition in the US.
The Obama White House is also celebrating this festival at 5PM by having a Cinco de Mayo reception honoring our Latino and Mexican friends and neighbors.
Latino Leaders from Delaware will be in attendance.
Isn’t it wonderful to be the first state? And be able to show off our diversity?
Gotta love traditions involving alcohol and food! Enjoy!

…and happy belated Star Wars Day. May the Fourth Be With Everyone!!
From wiki – The date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War. In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate 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’ve heard that the 9/12 “patriots” are going to be observing today with an effort to round up illegal aliens so the Sussex sheriff can conduct iris scans.
and with no database to run those scans thru and no access to Federal databases – oh don’t get me started..
