LIQUID SUPPER (Clintons Treat Secret Service Like Personal Valets)
New York Post (Page Six) ^ | December 31 ,2001 | JARED PAUL STERN with PAULA FROELICH and CHRIS WILSON

THE Clinton clan is up to its eyeballs in holiday spirit. Thursday night, Bill, Hillary, Chelsea and a fellow who appeared to be Chelsea's latest boyfriend Ian Klause had a regular ho-down at Brasserie 81/2 on West 57th Street. While Hillary stuck to water, Bill and Chelsea - whose boozy exploits were recently reported in the tabs - were hitting the Ketel One with gusto, a source told The Post's Braden Keil. Bubba washed his vodka down with cassoulet and then lost his cell phone somewhere between the restaurant and his limo. Secret Service agents were dispatched to find it.

NOT what I was told. And that is NOT what CSPAN says either. And, btw, I wasn't told by Strum; I was told by an ATTORNEY in his office.

OK you go read it and tell me what it says. http://www.ustreas.gov/usss

Third, it both delays and intensifies childhood temper tantrums. All of us need to be told there are things we can't have or can't do. The result of this in childhood is a series of transient angry temper tantrums and poutings that wise parents should know comes with the territory until the child learns to accept reality and responsibility. If the child doesn't learn certain basic realities and responsibilities at six or eight, he will have a temper tantrum when confronted by those realities at 10 or 12. But by 10 or 12 the uncorrected irresponsibility is on its way to becoming a permanent way of life that is hard to reverse. For the last 35 years this country has been flooded with generations of young who are having infantile temper tantrums at age 18, 25, or even 50 for personal conflicts with reality that should have been resolved at age six or 10. It has been the curse of this nation. It doesn't kill a kid to have a temper tantrum when he finds he can't have his way at age six. But the last 35 years should have taught the lesson that it kills parents and society when adolescents or adults have temper tantrums and discipline problems at later ages.

Presidential Temper Tantrums

One end product and social consequence of this process is the unbelievable situation of a now 52-year-old president having temper tantrums over the suggestion that he should not be allowed to crawl around laughing on his hands and knees getting oral anal stimulation or getting penile sex while in the Oval Office or while ordering U.S. troops into a war zone. He is supported in this by a large portion of his generation who quickly become enraged and threatened at criticism of Bill Clinton because a "no" applied anywhere for anything in the nation means it could also be applied to them. The arguments in defense of Clinton's behavior are inane concoctions that no mature well-adjusted adult should listen to, but they have been generationally accepted and employed as sadistic counter-arguments to desperate pleas for maturity from parental figures since the infantile rebelliousness of the 60s.

Many in a generation of parents who had survived the depression didn't want their children to suffer and work the same way as they had. Concurrently, with the development of TV, children were raised in an nearly constant amusement-inundated fantasy life that did not make demands on them for development of substance, depth, self-discipline, responsibility, or effort for full participation.

In terms of personal development and schooling for life, the baby boomer life curriculum began with Captain Kangaroo, proceeded with a six-year course in Howdy Doody and Mickey Mouse Club, and upon puberty graduate work began in rock-and-roll and Beach Blanket Bingo movies without any intrusion of serious responsibility or consequences into student lives. It resulted in massive numbers of 20-year-olds with mentalities undeveloped past the level of Mickey Mouse Club. Mickey Mouse has now completed puberty unaccompanied by any form of maturity or seriousness and is gleefully sticking his penis in strange women's faces in hotel rooms or groping women who walk into the Oval Office in what is, among other things, an exercise of bush league childishness.... Minnie Mouse(link)---came to the White House with him and has her own agenda of militant immaturity.

Cassoulet

1-5 pound duck
2 pounds boned pork loin
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 pounds dried white beans (Great Northern or other)
1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
1 1/2 pounds Polish sausage ring
1/4 pound lean salt pork
2 whole onions
Bouquet garni made by tying four parsley sprigs, one bay leaf, one cut
  clove garlic in cheesecloth
1/2 teaspoon thyme
2 pounds boned lamb shoulder, cubed
3 cups chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 one-pound 13-ounce cans tomatoes, drained and chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons thyme
salt and pepper

Preheat the oven to 325F.  Place the duck, breast side up, in a
shallow roasting pan.  Place the pork loin in a small casserole.
Insert a meat thermometer in the center of the loin.  Cover the
bottom of the casserole with one half cup chicken broth, put the
lid on and roast the pork until the thermometer reaches 170F, about
an hour and a half.  Roast the duck at the same time.  It will be
done in about 2 and 1/2 hours, or when the legs move easily up and
down.  Set both roasts aside.

While the meats are roasting, start the beans.  Rinse them thoroughly
and put them in a large pot.  Add three quarts of water, cover and
bring to a full rolling boil.  Remove the pot from the heat and
let it stand for one hour.  Then, when the beans have plumpeed up,
add 1 1/2 quarts chicken broth, the sausage, salt pork, whole
onions, bouquet garni and one half teaspoon of thyme.  Bring to a
boil, spooning off scum as it rises.  Reduce the heat and simmer
the beans uncovered for 30 minutes.  Remove the sausage ans et it
aside.  Continue cooking the beans for another 30 minutes or so,
until they are barely tender.  Discard the bouquet and the onions.
Drain the beans, taking care not to throw out the salt pork, and
save the liquor.

While the duck, pork and beans are cooking, prepare the lamb.
Remove three tablespoons of duck fat from the roasting pan.  Put
it into a large skillet and add the pieces of lamb to brown.  Add
extra fat if needed.  Remove the pieces as they brown and continue
the process until all the lamb is browned.  Remove lamb and set it
aside.  Add the chopped onions and garlic to the pan and cook,
stirring, until soft.  Add the tomatoes, wine, parsley, bay leaf
and two teaspoons of thyme.  Put the lamb back in the pan, cover
and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.  Remove the pieces of lamb
from the sauce.  Pour the sauce into a bowl and add three cups of
bean liquor to it.  Save any remaining bean liquor.  Add salt and
pepper as needed.

Slice the pork roast and then cut each slice into bite-sized pieces.
Remove the legs and wings from the duck.  Cut away the skin and
fat and then cut the duck meat into bite-sized pieces.  Slice the
sausage.

Spread a thick layer of beans in the bottom of a 10 to 11 quart
casserole or two 5 to 6 quart casseroles.  Top with a generous
layer of lamb, sausage, pork and duck, saving the legs and wings
for garnish.  Repeat with another layer of beans and most of the
rest of the meat.  Finish with remaining beans.  Garnish the top
of the cassoulet with the duck legs and wings and a few pieces of
the meats.  Pour the bean-tomato liquid over all.  Bake, covered,
in a 350F oven for 2 hours.  Break the crust that forms on top at
least three times during the baking.

"Cassoulet" = (depending on what part of the country you're from) "casserole," "hot dish," "covered dish," "potluck"

How very odd that the word cassoulet should appear here. I say that because some members of my family went to the Provence area of France last summer where they ate and raved about cassoulet. So, the other day I searched the internet for a recipe for the dish and printed it out to go along with a book on Provence that I was giving to my daughter-in-law.

I've lost the link now, but basically it is a stew that contains beans, chunks of fat, compressed duck, pork, etc. Sounds gross to me, but then I've never eaten it.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Under this new law, individuals who are in office before January 1, 1997, will continue to receive Secret Service protection for their lifetime. Individuals elected to office after that time will receive protection for ten years after leaving office.

Ok, could this be why Howlin would be right?: Clinton ran for re-election in 1996 and was sworn into office for his second term around January 23, 1997, right? That would mean Clinton was in office AFTER January 1, 1997.

Can you imagine their idea of the SS agent catching a bullet for the very people that crapped on them for the last 9 years ???

I could visualize them going "bullet? what bullet? did a bullet go by here? Oh, THAT bullet! Sorry, 'bout that, chief!"

NEVER crap on somebody who you're going to have to rely on to save your butt

Listen, I give up.

He was also elected in 92 and thus was BEFORE that date. It says in office before 1 Jan 97. I knew the law before I went and looked it up to post. Do you really think Clinton would have signed the thing if it included him? Do y'all read English? Do you understand the language? Is your IQ above 100? What does it take to convince someone on this board? Do facts mean anything or is just the way you wish it was?

If you send me your email address I will ask Tom DeLays office to email you the information, ASSUMING I can get you to believe he is in Congress, he is not an alien, and I am not a CIA agent forging his email.

I must now go ask God for forgiveness for all the things I just said in my study. My dog is scared to death, my wife is pissed, two neighbors left and I believe my mother-in-law has fainted.

Yes, I read English, yes, my IQ is above 100, and there's no reason to be so snotty. I didn't say either of you were right, but I think the language is open to debate. I'm a lawyer, and that's exactly why I know the language is not clear cut. It could be read to mean either what you said or what Howlin said. Even though he was in office for his 1st term before January 1, 1997, Clinton WAS sworn into office for his second term after January 1, 1997, so, depending upon how it's interpreted, Howlin could be correct. I certainly hope so, both for the taxpayers' sake and because, of the 2 of you, she seems to be the nicer person!

"Add to that the fact that the North Carolina flag has the strips upside down and I begin to see the problem."

Senator Thurmond is not from North Carolina.

If the evil overlord of Middle Earth gets this you would think that the evil wannabe overlord of the US could have gotten this.

I do not care to be nice, I do like to be right however. You being a lawyer explains why you don't do well with plain English, the lanuage the rest of us are forced to work with.

"Add to that the fact that the North Carolina flag has the strips upside down and I begin to see the problem." Senator Thurmond is not from North Carolina.

Thank you, I am well aware of where the Senator is from. The mention of the flag was a reference to where the POSTER is from and was meant as a bit of humor since I had just slammed them. I see it was lost on you.

You might take note that the North Carolina flag, nothing to do with Thurmond and the Texas flag, also nothing to do with the Senator, but with me, have their stripes reversed.

You might also wish to know that I too wish the facts were otherwise. However, wishing does not change the truth.
