| Blood clots like the one that Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is being treated for following her recent concussion can occur for a host of reasons. How serious a clot is depends on where it is and why it formed. A Clinton aide would not say where hers is located. WHAT THEY ARE: Blood pools and thickens into a clot after an injury or because of a heart problem, clogged arteries or other condition. Clots also can break off and travel to another part of the body.

Warning to Hillary: Coumadin/warfarin was first used as a ´Rat poison.
BTW: dehydration, being bed ridden, lack of exercise can all lead to blood clots. People worry a lot about strokes but it´s also possible to have a pulmonary embolism. I had one in ´09 following surgery (broke a leg that required a plate) with the resultant "Lay down with your leg up" routine. Water, movement and those tiny aspirins (taken daily) all help. P embolisms kill about 100,000 PATIENTS annually in the U.S. 3 in 10 who get it die.

They´re not even saying where the clot is and it may have nothing to do with the concussion but a blood clot in her leg from sitting with her legs closed.I don´t know how you can find a clot without saying where it is.
I think Richard Nixon had phlebitis which poses a constant threat of a clot getting in the bloodstream and hitting the heart and lungs.

I,too , was waiting for the ApePee to straighten all this out for me. If not for them , I would still be stuck with my theory that this evil, communist, LBGT spokesperson has never told the truth about anything and the only way the media could provide her even more cover would be if she would let it be known that she´s actually an African American.

Obviously, #18, you haven´t been paying attention to what the left has said about us, including wishing for the death of George Bush. When you are dealing with loathsome liars like this, it´s hard not to make some comments about them. Too many excuses. "I can´t recall", "the papers just appeared on a table", "it´s a vast right wing conspiracy", etc and etc. Now this so-called concussion followed by a blood clot that will prevent her from testifying about Benghazi. These people make Gru look like the nicest guy ever.

Besides the obvious reason (Benghazi),I think there has been some serious plastic surgery,lipo, butt lift, botox,etc. and a new Doo. She is prepping for a run against Barry´s choice, Cory Booker. That is if he can´t figure a way to run for a third term.

This little piece is 100% speculation.
When they thought i might have DVT (deep vein thrombosis) in my leg, I was given Heparin. I have never known of the giving of something as powerful as Coumadin (Warfarin), which is usually given for chronic conditions.
She may have suffered a subdural hematoma, not unusual after a blow to the head from a fall. But this is a hemorrhage, and blood thinners would not be given for a brain hemorrhage.
The truth is they don´t know so are dancing around trying to come up with something. They do know enough to headline that "blood clots like Clinton´s can be minor". That sounds more like a DVT in her leg, which can be a result of sitting in airplanes for hours and hours...something she prides herself on having done.
Now I´ve added my uninformation to the AP´s pile.

Re #32 and coumarin as rat poison, it´s always good to read the entire citation:
Interestingly, warfarin has been widely used to kill rats because it causes these rodents to die from internal bleeding, and many people have therefore come to think of warfarin as a "rat poison" and are hesitant to take it themselves when their doctors prescribe for them. Yet warfarin is not a poison in a true sense and thus is safe for humans to take under proper medical supervision.

As Snopes points out, Mexican vanilla extract is good. It is also fairly pricey. It´s the cheap Mexican imitation vanilla that can be a problem.
Imitation vanilla is not a bargain wherever one buys it. Its use results in an inferior product. Bad economy.

In 1975, when asked to explain why Margaret Thatcher was poised to take over the Tory Party, the irascible British satirist Malcolm Muggeridge replied that it was all due to television and the fact that the telegenic Thatcher had a "certain imbecile charm." That was one of the nicer things said about an "imbecile" who earned a degree in chemistry from Oxford and passed the bar while studying law at home.

Two New York Times columnists embarrassed themselves over the weekend, betraying anti-gun ignorance in the paper´s Sunday Review.Frank Bruni went hunting for the first time (with the chef of a ritzy Manhattan restaurant), and remarked "what an unfair fight" hunting is, as if he was the first person to think that up. After lamenting "how thoroughly a weapon can be romanticized and fetishized," he pivoted to easy access to guns in "this country of ours."

The Wall Street Journal has a big frontpage story today on the disability epidemic. It’s a good addendum to my column from last week. The unexpectedly large number of American workers who piled into the Social Security Administration’s disability program during the recession and its aftermath threatens to cost the economy tens of billions a year in lost wages and diminished tax revenues. Signs of the problem surfaced Friday, in a dismal jobs report that showed U.S. labor force participation rates falling last month to the lowest levels since 1979,

By any observable metric, zombies are totally hot right now. Look at movies like "Warm Bodies" and the coming "World War Z," the ratings for AMC´s hit series "The Walking Dead" (12.9 million viewers for its recent season finale) and $2.5 billion in annual sales for zombie videogames. Over the past decade, between a third and a half of all zombie movies ever made have been released. A glance at Google GOOG -1.51%Trends reveals that in the past few years, interest in flesh-eating ghouls has far outstripped popular enthusiasm for vampires, wizards and hobbits.

J. David Kuo, an evangelical Christian conservative and former top official of President George W. Bush’s faith-based initiative who drew wide attention when he publicly accused the administration of failing to live up to the values it espoused, died April 5 in Charlotte. He was 44.He was diagnosed a decade ago with brain cancer, his wife, Kimberly, said. The arc of Mr. Kuo’s life and career had taken him from liberal to conservative, from hard-edged Republican activism in the 1990s to disillusionment with the idea that politics could serve as an extension of his faith.

This country is an embarrassment. We can’t do anything right, least of all corruption. Look, when Venezuela’s populist demagogue Hugo Chavez died, word was he’d somehow accumulated an estate worth $2 billion. In the old days when the PRI party ruled Mexico uninterruptedly, every president got a single six-year term — and promptly retired at its close as a billionaire.And that was when a billion was real money.

As a confirmed New Yorker, I’m not willing to do what millions have done: move to the sunbelt. I want warmer weather here in the Big City.But I’ve grown old waiting for the promised global warming. I was 35 when predictions of a looming ice age were supplanted by warmmongering. Now I’m 68, and there’s still no sign of warmer weather.

In a measure of solidarity with those affected by the budget-slashing government sequestration, President Obama is giving up 5 percent of his salary for rest of the year, which is almost as admirable and sensible as a mansion-owner shutting off his marble fountains during a drought.This is not to imply that the president shouldn´t demonstrate some unity with those who´ve been furloughed or lost work because of the blind slashing the sequestration prompted. People like Jeff Maryak, profiled by BuzzFeed, who is considering re-enlisting to make ends meet after a 27 percent pay cut.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.
