POPSYummy Idea for Christmas This sounds absolutely wonderful. Where I live we can get something similar: A goose, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a pheasant, stuffed with a partridge; all boned and ready to cook, carve and serve. (It does help to know a butcher though!)

POPSAustralians cook up wild cat stew But it was a recipe for feline casserole that impressed some of the judges at an outback food competition in Alice Springs. Preparing this unusual stew seems simple enough. The meat should be diced and fried until it is brown. Then lemon grass is to be added along with salt and pepper and three cups of quandong, which is a sweet desert fruit. It is recommended that the dish be left to simmer for five hours before being garnished with bush plums and mistletoe berries. Marinated moggie was not to everyone's taste. One of the competition judges found the meat impossibly tough and had to politely excuse herself and spit it out in a backroom. Wild cats are considered good eating by some Aborigines, who roast the animals on an open fire. This outback cuisine does come with a health warning. Scientists have said that those eating wild cats could be exposed to harmful bacteria and toxins.

POPSDeath Penalth Denied for Juan Luna In Illinois it takes 12 jurors to unanimously recommend the death penalty in order for that sentence to be imposed. One juror chose to spare the life of Juan Luna, convicted of multiple murder at a Brown's Chicken store in the Chicagoland area. While we may never know the motives of the holdout, unless she decided to come forward, I want to applaud her conscious choice in withholding her vote to put this convicted killer to death. Luna proclaims his innocence. He was convicted on circumstantial physical evidence. If there is one chance in 10,000 that the conviction is in error and Luna's claims are, in fact, true then it is clear that life in prison is the proper course of punishment.
