What a BAD reason to *not* vote for a whip-smart, eminently qualified candidate -- because of her last name.
It's not JUST her last name, its the sense that she's only a contender for the presidency because of it.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yikes! I'd hoped that "empty pill bottles strewn about the room" was just a groundless rumor.

Ditto.

Honestly, I don't understand this statement, and I hear it a lot. What does that have to do with whether Hillary would be a good president?
It does have an effect on how effective she can be. Being anti-Clinton will be a key campaign point for a lot of republicans just like it keeps coming up in the republican primary debates. There won't me much hope for any kind of cooperation in that kind of environment.
I also think there is also an issue of international image. If Clinton wins, that will be at least 24 years that two families have led the country. I think that undermines our promotion of democracy in the world.

That too, which is just as true as the current president though I think Clinton has better independent merits.

Dana, Shannon and her family are probably all right. Right?

Absolutely on both counts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are there categories of accidental overdose? I mean, when you're popping all of those it's not the same as forgetting when you last took tylenol and how much of it. Chances are slim those were all his legal prescriptions, for starters. And how can you tell a suicide mixing all those from an accident? Lack of note? Dinner reservations for the next day?
