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.

It's not JUST her last name, its the sense that she's only a contender for the presidency because of it.

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?

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

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

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?

oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine

That's a scary sounding cocktail

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

That's a lot of cones and pams. I thought they only let you have one of each at a time!

Got any recipes for soup/stew?

I do chicken thighs in red wine (thick broth, potatoes, carrots), which are awesome but require red wine. It's also possible to roast the chicken, de-bone it, and use it in stone soup: onion, carrots, frozen peas, couple of bouillion cubes, some barley or rice, and shredded chicken in a big pot. I do honey-glazed chicken a lot, too, roasted in the oven, but just remember: tin foil is your friend (or else the sugar in the honey burns and your oven catches fire). Minestrone might be an avenue to investigate as well.

Our wings are not tired.

And how can you tell a suicide mixing all those from an accident?

The combination of being sick with pneumonia and dopey from any of these could result in accidental overdose. But, if the drugs weren't there...
