I don’t know whether there was a connection between tomorrow’s Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and President Bush’s decision to address a Latino Coalition today about Social Security.Pinatas are often featured in Cinco de Mayo festivities. Although they can come inall shapes and sizes, I bet the White House will be going with the traditional Mexicanfavorite pictured above..
I’m writing a day early about Cinco de Mayo, to remind you to prepare for theabout the wonderful Mexican Menudo soup and find recipes. This should whet yourappetite:“Every culture has great restorative stew of humbleorigin and ingredients. Menudo is a wonderfully aromatic soup madeof tripe, hominy and chili, and is stewed for hours with garlic andother spices. the broth is rich, red, papery, and glistens with fat. Itstimulates the senses, arms the insides, and clears the head.“Menudo is served in big open bowls brought to the table steaming andfiery. It is usually eaten in the wee hours after a night out on the townand widely proclaimed to be an antidote for hangovers.”Menudo.Heaven’s Riverof starsin my soupfrom his novel Haiku GuyI lean into the soup’s steam… snow flurries

Even if you won’t be accepting any invitations to whack a pinatawith a stick, I hope you’ll take up George Fool-in-the-Forest Wallace’srequest to join The Stick — an exploration and confession about yourliterary tastes. Here are questions for The Stick:1. You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book doyou want to be?2. Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?3. The last book you bought was…?4. The last book you read was…?6. Five books you would take to a desert island…7. Who are you passing this stick on to and why?That whipper-snapper Sarni at Infernality seems to be suggesting that yourEditor is a “humbug”. I will gladly cop a plea to curmudgeon..
Blessed Are the Poor in Spirits: Prof. B is begging for bucks again.I never noticed before how much “paypal” looks like “papal.” Just coincidence? Ofcourse, if you ask “y?” he’ll say God works in mysterious ways.Free that Poll: On April 6th, we discussed the Poll at Priests for Life,which asked “Should the United States Congress exercise veto powerover Supreme Court decisions?” Previous polls a PoL looked morelike leading questions for Catechism students on current events. Today,I tried to find out the results for the Veto poll, since they’ve moved on toa new question on the home page, but the results are not (yet?) posted onthe PoL results page. Maybe thinking participants failed to skew the resultsthe way Fr. Frank Pavone had expected. I’ll check there again soon.
Only in the nicest way possible. :-) Like Jon Winokur, I think we need more people in the world willing to say “bah humbug!”.
