It is generally served with Llapingacho or whole boiled potatoes, mote or cooked corn, pickled onions and tomato, and fried ripe plantains......wikipedia

Melanie Ware From Mississippi
An article and photographs about hookah smoking in the Mitchell High School yearbook has drawn the ire of a parent who says the feature is inappropriate for a yearbook. (Melanie) Ware, who has lived in Pasco County for four years, said she attended public schools in her native Mississippi and wants to support the public schools here. Mitchell High's decision to feature hookah in the yearbook is making her rethink that view, though.here
She could always pack her family and go home.

The Secret Garden Of SOG City
One of the first things I did when I got back from the Persian Gulf War was to kill off the lawn, shit-can the mower, and mulch both the front and back yards. My next move entailed planting flowers, vegetables, fruit trees, and colorful ornamentals. Going green was one of the best decisions I ever made.Now, while the mowers are fuming around the neighborhood,
I just kick back in the shade and toss back a couple of ice cold brewskis.

Townhall Meetings: Allen West Style
At U.S. Rep. West's 5/16/11 Town Hall, GOP congressman & Tea Party favorite is circled by security forces, but still gets confronted by small business owner from his district who publicly takes issue with West talking points on deficit, gets "police escort" out of the meeting, then hits home run with his own simple common sense comments in parking lot.

Jacksonville Voters Put Tampa To Shame
The big news out of a Jacksonville this morning is that it's very possible a black Democrat will win the mayor's race, though the race is officially too close to call. But more interesting to this reporter from a Tampa-centric aspect is the voter participation. The turnout, according to the Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland, was 36.81 percent. In Tampa last March in the race between Rose Ferlita and Bob Buckhorn, it was a paltry 22.3 percent.more

Who Is Our Next Bogeyman?
Two weeks after the world's most infamous terrorist was buried in the North Arabian Sea, there's a central, lingering question in the sanctums of intelligence and military planning: Who are the new terrorist leaders causing U.S. counterterrorism officials to lose sleep?more

You Are Not Welcome Illinoisans
As a resident of Illinois, I just thought it would be rude of me not to pass along my heartfelt "thanks.” When you elected Rick Scott, he promised to oppose President Obama's evil socialist agenda. And in February, he put his – I’m sorry: YOUR – money where his mouth was. Thanks to him, and by proxy, to you (for electing him),
most of that money was reallocated to build that corridor from St. Louis to Chicago instead of Tampa to Orlando.

End The War On Drugs
Since the declaration of a "war on drugs" 40 years ago:•America has spent at least $1 trillion on the drug war. It cost U.S. taxpayers at least $51 billion in 2009 at the state and federal level. That’s $169 for every man, woman and child in America – and that’s not counting opportunity costs or costs at the local level.
•Millions of people have been incarcerated for low-level drug law violations, resulting in drastic racial disparities in the prison system.
•More than 1 of every 100 American adults is behind bars. In 1980, the total U.S. prison and jail population was about 500,000 – today, it is more than 2.3 million.

Terrorist Orlando Bosch Is Dead
“As many critics have pointed, out, terrorism is not an enemy. It is a tactic. Because the United States itself has a long record of supporting terrorists and using terrorist tactics, the slogans of today’s war on terrorism merely makes the United States look hypocritical to the rest of the world.”.....Professor William Odom, formerly President Reagan’s NSA Director
More Drilling In The Gulf Of Mexico
Answering the call of Republicans and Democrats from Gulf Coast states, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address that he would extend all Gulf leases that were affected by a temporary moratorium on drilling imposed after last year's BP oil spill.Cuban Seals for Florida?
The debate continues: Was the killing of Osama bin Laden justified? Perhaps a rather useless debate since he is now most certainly dead. But despite their distance in time and space some flashbacks insist on recurring. I for example still think about that Cuban plane which exploded on October 6th 1976 in the Caribbean, killing the 5 crew members and all 73 passengers, including the entire champion fencing team of Cuba. All four men directly responsible for this horror had ties to the CIA which, it was later revealed, knew of the bombing in advance.So wouldn’t the arguments being trotted out to justify the US raid in Abbottabad mean Cuba would have been justified (or would still be justified today) in “taking out” the organizers of the plane bombing, Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch Avila, by sending in a Cuban equivalent of SEAL Team 6? The two were never holed up in some cave or secret mansion but have been enjoying care-free lives in Florida, with court decisions preventing their extradition to Venezuela, where they were once sentenced, or to Cuba where, it was claimed, they “might be tortured.”
Posada Carriles, after being acquitted of minor pass violations, is completely free. Bosch, referred to years ago by a US expert as “one of the deadliest terrorists in the hemisphere,” was officially amnestied years ago by – guess who – President George H.W. Bush, who just happened to be CIA-Director at the time of the plane bombing.

Brandon Community Advantage Center?
State Rep. Rachel Burgin is calling for changes and an apology from the nonprofit agency that runs The Regent, a facility built with public money that was supposed to serve as a community center but that she says is being run more like a country club. The board running the $7 million edifice on Watson Road has turned its back on the people they are supposed to serve.more
A local Boy Scout troop was asked for $700 to hold a two-hour event on a Tuesday, a women's counseling group was told it would cost $3,000 to use the building for a few hours.
