Mike Pence will be in charge of the ‘taco bowl’ festivities for Cinco de Mayo at the white house. It will be held on the 4th of May because…who the fuck knows? The Twitterati have been merciless in their response to this bit of fluffy news. You can see some of them here, and of course, at the Politico tweet stream.
Marcus Ranum says
Maybe Steve Bannon can be the pinata.
Caine says
String ’em all up. Bet there would be lots of at bats.

Taco (bowl) Thursday?
We celebrate Gatos de Mayo at my home, May 5 2001 being the day we brought home two kittens from an adoption fair. Now, alas, just one. Anyway, the Cats of May is a much better holiday, if you ask me.
Caine says
I grew up celebrating Cinco de Mayo in SoCal. I hate to see it so blatantly fucked over, especially given the regime’s attitude about Mexico and Mexican people.
Caine says
And, I hope to hell no one attempts to explain the Battle of Puebla to the Fucking Idiot. Wanna bet he thinks it’s Mexican Independence Day?
