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.
What a great post!! It certainly explains what happened to our country!!
That cassoulet recipe is almost exactly like one my gramma usedta make! :-)
(But she called it Road Kill Pie).
"Katie, I think this is the quintessential photo of Bill Clinton.
It captures his insouciance, his roguish charm, his--"
AW, SHUT YER YAP !!!
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Well, there go the Clintons again treating their Secret Service guards like personal valets & gophers.
