Cinco De Mayo rings a bell. Wasn't that the time the Mexicans unilaterally fought a war without the support of the United Nations or the International Community?

As I recall, it was also a rare military defeat for the French.

[ChuckShick]

we join our fellow Americans and our Mexican neighbors in commemorating this day of liberty and triumph

In commemoration, the Heinz-Kerry's gave their Mexican gardener an hour for lunch.

[hobbes1]

Yes, but they still don't let him have any Salsa on the premises......

[pghkevin]

Tomorrow's press release will be an apology to all those who were hurt by cinco de mayo. You know.. gotta be on both sides to be safe.....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

"...as we look back, we look forward." Kerry in a nutshell.

A French Military Defeat is not rare...

[Diddle E. Squat]

Happy Cinco De Gordo!

Go back and reread this poting carfully! If it is accurate, hasn't Terry just abandoned her claim to privacy? The memo is issued jointly by gigalo and gigalette and has a political statement at the end. How can the Widow Heinz now claim that she is apart from the campaign and that her tax returns are private? Show your records Terry, let's see what you are hiding!!

For too long, this administration has ignored the plight of Latino youth as each year, about half of these kids drop-out of high school. We need new leadership...

What an utterly stupid thing to say!

Education and the Federales should have nothing to do with each other! It must be a matter for local "families" (remember them?), school boards and non-union teachers!

He is allowed to drive the Suburban though.

It was indeed a stinging military defeat for the French; however, it was at the hands of the Spanish Army.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Because $10,000 per year per child isn't nearly enough for public schools to teach your kids to read.

[hobbes1]

Well, now that belongs to the Family....lol

[dangus]

Ketchup on Mayo? Gross!

[linn37]

ai-yi-yi what a p*****o

AHA! So it was a reckless, unilateral foreign adventure without the approval of the United Nations. Interesting that Kerry would praise it. He was in VietNam, you know.

Does Kerry's statement even make sense? It seems to be along the line of "Today, as we celebrate the military defeat of the French, we can reflect on the fact that hispanic teens are a bunch of high school dropouts with poor health care coverage."

[N. Theknow]

Yo, Cinco. Hold de mayo.

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 cases of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico....

But as we know....the great ship did not make it to New York.... The ship hit an iceberg and sank...and the cargo was forever lost.... The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery....were disconsolate at the loss.... Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning which they still observe to this day....

The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th.... and is known....of course....as Sinko de Mayo....

Kerry was in Viet Nam??? I did not know that. :)
