Hillary Clinton's Collapse

Okay, so by now, pretty much everyone in the world has heard about Hillary Clinton's brief fainting spell. If you haven't, you can read the NY Post's take on it: "Spillary Clinton."

Apparently, it was just a 24-hour stomache virus. But around 30 of her staff members reportedly also got sick. Nobody knows what caused it. Now, I don't mean to sound like some conspiracy theorist, but when first heard the news, it reminded me of that Ukrainian presidential candidate. A highly controversial politician, one day he was fine, the next day he was sick. And it looks like his soup was poisoned, possibly by the head of the Ukrainian Secret Service.

It's kind of a scary world out there. Especially when you support a candidate who garners so much passionate dislike from some corners. Let me be clear: I'm not saying that she was poisoned. It's just that this whole thing reminded me that in an era of mysteriously appearing anthrax, political leaders have to be extra careful.

Luckily, Hillary is feeling better. Here's hoping she never gives us that kind of scare again!
