Cinco de Mayo

I am torn on this one. On the one hand, one should never celebrate the defeat of a Hapsburg, especially knowing the disaster that follows for poor Mexico.

On the other hand, any excuse to drink tequila and eat Mexican food is not to be sniffed at.

However, I need no excuse to drink tequila and to eat Mexican food.

So, I will drink tequila, I will eat Mexican food, but I still say "Bah! Humbug!" to celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
