Eric Felten in yesterday's Wall Street Journal on the Pina Coloda and the "men" who drink them (sub req):
Franklin Delano Roosevelt reveled in making Martinis; Harry Truman was partial to Old-Fashioneds; John F. Kennedy was a Gin and Tonic man. The drink for Bill Clinton? The Piña Colada.
In 1976, Mr. Clinton was gearing up his campaign to become attorney general of Arkansas. One evening, he and his wife, Hillary, went to the house of her brother, Hugh Rodham, for dinner and talk of political strategy. Mr. Rodham "made us piña coladas that tasted like fruit juice but packed quite a punch," Mr. Clinton recalled in his autobiography, "My Life." How much of a punch? "After two or three I was so sleepy that I went outside and climbed into the back of my Chevy El Camino pickup truck." It was just the place: "The back was covered in Astroturf, so I slept like a lamb."
Passed out in the back of an El Camino after a couple of Pina Coladas? Ladies and gentlemen, your future President of the United States. Interestingly enough, I understand that's the way Hugh Hewitt ended his high school prom night as well. Strange bedfellows indeed.
UPDATE-- Paul e-mails to make Bill's escape:
Maybe the reason Bill Clinton likes Pina Coladas is he was tired of his old lady, they'd been together too long.
لقد اثبت الدراسات والبحوث ان العيش في بيئة مغلقة ورديئة التهوية يعد من الأسباب التي تتسبب في الاكتئاب والإحباط للكثير من الأشخاص وهو ما يزيد في حالة كون المنزل غير نظيف لطلب شركة نظافة بالرياض وليس فقط سيء التهوية لذلك يحاط الأشخاص بطاقة إيجابية حينما يتواجدوا في بيئة صحية ونظيفة شركة تنظيف بالرياض وخاصة وأن الطاقة الإيجابية تدفع للانتهاء من كافة أعمال التنظيف وانجاز الأنشطة الآخرى في وقت قصير وبذلك تتحسن الحالة النفسية بتحسن النظافة.
