TEXAS INDEPENDENCE AND LIBERTY
Today is the 172 anniversary of the Battle of San Jacinto. On this date in 1836 General Sam Houston led the forces of Texas against General Antonio López de Santa Anna’s Mexican forces. The battle lasted less than twenty minutes and resulted in a decisive victory for Texas. Lets all raise a toast to General Houston and his brave men.
Oh, and offer a prayer that their descendants finally learn to do Bar-B-Q right. It is PORK not beef.
Hat tip to Daniel over at Grim’s Hall for pointing out today’s significance.

Pork BBQ is fine, but a slow smoked Texas beef brisket is a glorious thing.
Also here is how Hillary can still win the Democratic Nomination.

Also, don’t forget the part about Santa Ana being caught in a dress after the battle.

Joe,
I love that part. It could not have happened to a nicer guy.

Here’s to Sam Houston and the men of San Jancinto, and to Jim Bowie and the men of the Alamo!
