POPSAbout smoked paprika Click through for the list of suggested uses. More: The color is a striking deep red that spreads through any dish to which it is added. It has an intoxicating smoky aroma from the slow oak smoking, and a silky texture from the repeated grinding between stones. We like to add it to our spice rub or barbecue sauce for baby back ribs, or as an accent for roast potatoes or as a flavoring for potatoes and fish dishes, all things with shrimp, light stews, sauces, garlic chicken and roasted meats.

POPS Historic Suckupness, Poor Judgment That Nick the Turk is one astute observer. I got whacked with something and spent yesterday on the couch, nose in Robert Harvey’s The War of Wars: The Epic Struggle Between Britain and France: 1789-1815* when not dozing. Fascinating reading with not a few lessons regarding war and politics in general. Now, Obama’s no Bonaparte. They are no matched historical set. But as you examine the totality of Obama’s career to date, there are some curious parallels. Not so much the part about being an outsider shouldering his way in … Napoleon of course was a Corsican with an Italian accent, which made him a foreigner and a provincial bumpkin though integrated into French society through political connections and education. Obama, of Kenyan and white American descent, raised in part overseas, after all was welcomed and acclaimed exactly for reasons of his minority status, due to the nation’s and his political party’s interest in recognizing and elevating

POPSOverheard while traveling... An American student talking on her cell phone on the train from Rome’s Termini station to the airport. -In Italy the food is so bad and unhealthy! I mean, I didn’t even see a carrot the whole month I was here. I just really want a salad… And I am craving McDonald’s. Overheard by Janelle

POPSInstead Watch My Top Picks Ok, I'm not a lesbian, but I'm not exactly heterosexual either. So watch my top picks in this particular genre because I'm right half the time :D 1. Fried Green Tomatoes Unfortunately the movie version has been "sanitized" to attract the heterosexual audience. Even though it fills my emotional cache I still wish they would have had the guts to lift it above that level, but I'm a sucker for the southern accent. 2. Aimee and Jaguar This movie is huge in it's structure and huge in it's emotion. AND it's based on a true story. It's great love in times that make love seem impossible. 3. Loving Annabelle. OK, so it's a sexy, cheesy, student/teacher, kinda disturbing love affair with Simone stuck in a loveless affair with a man (of course). I'd watch it again just for the music though. 4. But I'm a Cheerleader. This boot camp is so absurd that it's funny. And the moral of this review is that I cannot come up with 5 good lesbian movies. What a shame.

POPSThe Lost "Beer Summit" Transcripts GATES: Okay, we have been here long enough for pictures, can we go now? CROWLEY: I agree. OBAMA: You see, I am the racial healer, I can bring people together. GATES: I just want to get away from the vice-president. CROWLEY: Same here. OBAMA: We are on a role. This is a historical fundamental change in American race relations BIDEN: If I drink enough of the Jamaican Red Stripe beer professor, will I get a cool accent? GATES: What the Hell does that mean? OBAMA: Shut up Joe! Go play on Malia and Sasha’s swing set. BIDEN: Cool OBAMA: Sit down Joe. I wasn’t serious about the swing set. Just sit there and be quiet. CROWLEY: This isn’t going well. Mr. President if you apologize for calling the Cambridge Police Department stupid before you knew all the facts we can all move on.

POPSArguing online: PZ Myers' 3-comment rule More: I rather like PZ’s vision for how the conversation would progress in this envisaged new order: Stranger: 1I think all women are chattel. Old hand: Pardon me, friend, but are you using humor, irony, sarcasm, or satire? Are you perhaps about to expand on a deeper philosophical point? Stranger: 2No, I just think women are meant to serve my needs. Old hand : This sounds like a most unfortunate and disagreeable belief. Why should you hold such a demeaning attitude? Stranger: 3Because the Bible, which is the literal word of God, tells me so. Old hand: See? Isn’t that much better? You can still have your fun in the general melee, but let’s just slow the onset down a little, hold fire for a few minutes, and see if we can get a few words through the macho murk first.

POPSOK, so who speaks with an accent around here? My WV friend brought up the humorous phenomenon of regional American accents. Anyone who sounds like us has no accent; anyone who sounds different does. Well, not to be a bitch about it, but consider this ;-) And, just FYI, I hail from Iowa City, IA - right in the big orange spot of General American English!

Magazine in its Fall 2007 issue. "Tom Cruise? Spoke it in Mission: Impossible. Bruce Willis? The Jackal. Val Kilmer? The Saint. Al Pacino? The Devil’s Advocate. Almost all of them sucked."

POPS Why Isn't Socialism Dead? In a similar vein, Morales' mentor, Hugo Chavez, has also been preaching that to be rich is to be wicked, while to be poor is to be virtuous -- and though he may be quoting scripture to support his arguments, there can be no serious question that Chavez-style populism is simply socialism with a South American accent. And this leads to the question I want to address, namely, Why isn't socialism dead? The Peruvian economist, Hernando de Soto, has argued in his book, The Mystery of Capital, that the failure of the various socialist experiments of the twentieth century has left mankind with only one rational choice about which economic system to go with, namely, capitalism. Socialism, he maintained, has been so discredited that any further attempt to revive it would be sheer irrationality.
