To add a pb&j sandwich to the White House menu?

Isn’t that a bit of overkill?

Hmmm…pb&smilie???
Peanut butter and jelly of course.
You get your information from the N.Y. Daily News? Sad, sad.
You’ll notice the article uses the uncapitalized “executive order”, which, I suppose, means any order given by the executive. A list of all the (capitalized) Executive Orders issued by George W. Bush can be found at this NARA page complete with links to their texts. PB&J doesn’t leap out at me as being the subject of any of them.
That’s exactly why I was questioning it.
The story wasn’t terribly clear. It could be that, after careful study, the Bush administration has decided to go forward with yet another of Clintons’ Executive Orders. That way it wouldn’t show up as being Bush related on the NARA page.
Oh, now I’m hungry for peanut butter and jelly!
And a big glass of milk, of course.
Would you like the kosher smiley on the side?
Peanut butter and Jews?!? :eek: I should have expected as much from a Republican White House.
Some time back in the sixties, a resolution was alledgedly passed by the House mandating that Yankee Bean soup be served every day in the congressional commissary.
Somewhere I have documentation about that…
As for the PB & J matter, given that his daddy banned broccoli, it makes you wonder as to the emotional age of the males in this family…
I guess there’s always time for a cheap shot. sigh
It isn’t the White House making a big deal about PB&J or broccoli, it’s the press looking for a goofy story. In recent days, there have also been reports that Bush wants a salad bar in the mess. Big friggin deal. If I had to live and work there for 4 years, I’d want a salad bar, too. How that makes the news while important stories are ignored, I’ll never know.
It’s our house, but for a few years he and his family and employees have to live and work there. Why shouldn’t they have the food they like?
It’s AUGUST. There’s no one in town and many column inches to fill. That makes it the ideal time for cheap shots. Had the presidents taste in jelly been a bit different we would proably have heard about the “empeachment” proceedings going on in the white house kitchen.
Hey, postcards, it’s now semi-officially known as U.S. Capitol Bean Soup. Speaker of the House Joseph Cannon declared that it should be made available in all of the House dining rooms, forever, right around the turn of the last century.
As far as I can tell, that order is still in effect, since I grab a cup of it almost every time I have to eat up there. However, I heard a while back that someone left it off the menu when President Clinton’s impeachment came up for a vote. A protest? I don’t know. That site above has a similar story.
