Because I forgot to celebrate Cinco de Cuatro

I am looking forward to Machete due to the awesome. But I am also looking forward to the day when I see a film that demonizes and revels in the murder of our political opponents instead of the usual hate propaganda and pornography of murder directed against white Christian men. For the moment, I know my place at the back of the bus.

From the comments:

"Make sure you don't buy a ticket at the box office; everybody who sneaks in to the theater illegally gets to stay for free."

Related: California high school students are lucky they were only sent home for wearing the American flag on Cinco de Mayo; in the UK or Canada they would have been charged with an hate crime.

Five Live Oak High School students' First Amendment rights were challenged this morning when they were asked to leave school because they donned American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo. Officials at the school chose not to comment on the situation, but one student said an official called the T-shirts "incendiary."

"They said we were starting a fight, we were fuel to the fire," said sophomore Matt Dariano.
