Saturday was Cinco de Mayo.  That's really become a big celebration in the United States.  White Americans act like Mexicans for the day just to get an idea of what it's like to be in the majority.

Yesterday was Seis de Mayo.  Otherwise known to amateurs as Day of the Heartburn.


Actually, Cinco de Mayo is Mexico's Independence Day.  Mexicans stick their heads out of the ground and if they don't see a shadow, they run like hell across the border.

Saturday was also the running of the Kentucky Derby.  Fans were in the parking lot at Churchill Downs early, drinking beer and grilling burgers and hot dogs.  In horse racing, that's known as buggy gating.

I'll Have Another was the surprise winner of the Derby.  The odds were 15-1.  Which means that I'll Have Another was heard 15 times more in the bar than at the betting window.

An Australian billionaire plans to build a replica of the Titanic.  He says he can save a lot of money in materials by building the ship with the holes already in it.

Ron Paul has won the majority of delegates in Maine.  Apparently, Mitt Romney turned off Maine voters when he campaigned wearing an Armani suit and a lobster bib.

Last week, Ron Paul beat Romney in Louisiana.   Romney didn't do himself any favors when he told voters that he always loves a big bowl of chicken gumby.


Vice President Joe Biden told Meet the Press that he's "comfortable" with same sex marriage.  Biden said "As a matter of fact, I wouldn't change a thing about the sex in my marriage."
