What Stogie Had For Lunch

Fritada
A typical dish in Ecuadorian cuisine. Its main ingredient is fried pork. It is a traditional dish, and its origins date back to the colonial era, to the beginning of the 19th century.

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.

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.
