As we learned so well in the last 6 months, this country was looted, and still is, by plantation owners who own Wall Street, and therefore us. It's not small scale looting. This amounts to pillaging of the country by private jet-flying hooligans that own about 95% of everything.

Obama is nice and flattering to them and invests our future 5% right now in the 95% stolen goods. Obama is now a plantation owner by his actions and newly found friends.

Blue collar workers who, at best, make modest living by working their butts of not only were robbed of their future that was given to the plantation owners, but are asked to hand over money they made in the past, pension funds, to the plantation owners right away. If they resist, Sheriff Obama will close their work place promptly.

So I'm working on a recipe from 1832 called "Apple Poupeton" and trying to find out what the hell a "poupeton" is. The online dictionaries all say it is "a puppet, or small baby" which is weird enough, then that it is "obs." which I sure hope means "obsolete" as we trust that small babies are not yet classed as obscene, although in the case of puppets one can never be certain. But then one more hit comes up, which we present to you here as we haven't had any recipes lately. Let this serve as much as a warning of the bizarrities of computerized translators as a possible food item:
