Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo, so if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re hung-over. If that’s the case, grab yourself some aspirin and take our poll.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín.
If you didn’t know that and you’re of Mexicen descent, you shouldn’t have gotten shit-faced last night.
In recent years, the Mexican holiday seems to have lost its meaning and gone the route of St. Patrick’s Day — turning into little more than an excuse to get loaded.
Not that we have anything against getting loaded, but a seasoned booze-hound shouldn’t need an excuse.
We want to know what you think: Is Cinco de Mayo a legit holiday in the U.S., or has it lost its meaning and become just another excuse to get blasted.
Let us know by taking our poll — and check out the results from yesterday’s poll — after the jump.

Here is your morning poll:
