Isn't that Groundhog Day? The day we celebrate a movie starring Bill Murray?
Actually, it is the
day that we should celebrate the liberation of the southwest from Mexico.
While Cinco de Mayo celebrations are a bid deal in places like southern California, and I'm not one to discourage a celebration of victory over the French military (cough, cough), around here, that is a day that a lot of people pretend the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo never happened. I say would should celebrate February 2 almost like we celebrate July 4. Let's have a yearly reminder that we are part of the U.S.A., not Mexico, and thank God for that!
