As President Barack Obama said, "Happy Cinco de Quatro!"

And I'm down for celebrating any holiday commemorating when the lousy French get their asses handed to them by a bunch of campesinos*.
*the whole 'campesinos' thing is a fiction, it was army v. army, and though the French lost at Puebla, they won the conflict and established the Second Mexican Empire.
Also, today is NOT a national holiday in Mexico (more along the lines of a regional holiday like Patriots' Day in Massachusetts and Maine), mainly just an excuse for tequila shooters on this side of the border.
