Here you go gang, the house of represenatives earning their pay and making good use of our tax dollars that pay their sallery. House Resolution 238, a bill recognizing the importance of Cinco de Mayo. I don't know whether to laugh or express outrage at this collosal waste of valuable legislative time. though, I supose the more time they spend on stupid stuff like this, the less time they can spend wrecking the country. Though my larger concern is this is one more step in gaining the acceptence of Mexican culture as our culture. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=hr111-230

So now it's going to be an official day to have a bar-be-que and get wasted? Awesome, that's just what we needed. Forget fixing the economy - we need more federally recognized holidays.

lol well america does take far fewer holidays than the rest of the northern hemisphere and you do have hight rates of stress related illnesses...but it does seem like a little bit of a waste of legislative time

Hello Kitty, They already have May Day festivities here every May 1st. Do you remember the huge pro-illegal immigration rallies on May 1, 2007. Those were the biggest, though the CPUSA celebrates 5/1 every year here. Gotta' wonder how much of that celebrating is done with educational grant monies, eh?

We could pull a Dodd and get their congressional pay retro taxed at a 90% rate couldn't we? The list of names is interesting.
