This is not the picture I was looking for.
But does anybody remember Clinton in the early days jogging in his short, shorts? With his white flabby legs hanging out?
Our living long has more to do with obedience, treatment to parents, and sin in our life ...the Bible says to 'obey your parents that your life may be long upon the earth', now tell me why God didn't add "as long as you don't eat junk food.' Sin is also mentioned as a life shortner. Yes we must be reasonable in what we eat, but I had many over 90 family members who believed that "pork fat rules".
Yes, the very Un-Presidential Pasty White Thighs.
Then I remember the video of him in his jogging outfit, along with several others, all in their jogging outfits, hanging out in the Oval Office.
Ronald Reagan never took his coat off while he was in there.
The only thing I want to know is: Is he dead yet?
Ok I'm no Clinton fan but this is a silly article based on idle speculation. The author has no way of knowing what exactly caused Clinton's heart troubles (for example what Clinton's diet has been recently) and you or I wouldn't like it if such speculation were made about us.
Side effects and health issues
Cocaine consumption causes high blood-pressure and increases the heart rate. There is risk associated with cocaine use, regardless of purity or whether the drug is ingested by snorting, injecting, or smoking. Potential side effects of cocaine usage are aggression, depression, and paranoia. Cocaine is reported to be more addictive than heroin, alcohol, or nicotine as measured in terms of "reinforcement" (the measure of the substance's ability, in human and animal tests, to get users to take it again and again) [1] http://www.pdxnorml.org/NYT_addictive_080294.html . Typically, the "high" is most powerful directly after consumtion. After a while it dies down and the stomach begins to ache - during a period of consumption users tend to wait around thirty minutes before ingesting more of the drug to postpone this effect and revisit the initial high.
Excessive doses of cocaine may lead to seizures and death from respiratory failure, stroke, cerebral hemorrhage, or heart-failure. There is no specific antidote for cocaine overdose.
Cocaine use is associated with a lifetime risk of heart attack that is seven times that of non-users. During the hour after cocaine is used, heart attack risk rises twenty-four times. It accounts for 25% of the heart attacks in the 18 to 45 year old age group.
Evidence suggests that users who smoke or inject cocaine may be at even greater risk than those who snort it. Cocaine smokers suffer from acute respiratory problems including coughing, shortness of breath, and severe chest pains with lung trauma and bleeding. The injection cocaine user is at high risk for transmitting or acquiring diseases if needles or other injection equipment are shared. In most cases, each purchase is about two grams for one day of smoking (after treatment with ammonia). In addition, it appears that compulsive cocaine use may develop even more rapidly if the substance is smoked rather than snorted. This is because the high from snorting is much less prominent than from smoking. Furthermore, prolonged snorting of cocaine can degrade the cartilage separating the nostrils (the septum), leading eventually to its complete disappearance. The smoking of cocaine breaks down tooth enamel and causes tooth decay and loss.
Did they call Klintoon a "dignitary"? Bwahahahaha!
she dont lie, she dont lie, babe
COCAINE!!!!
He sure isn't "dignified".
No. And though you probably wont like hearing it, Ive said it before hell probably outlive the both of us.
Doesnt matter though. Nobody gets out alive.
I heard he had to see someone from INTERNal medicine.
How old is M. Moore? One would think he'd get it first.
It was rumored he did rehab in Minnesota before running for President... and then once in the Oval office returned to his constant use -- that destroyed his mucous membranes (the "suspicious" allergies he suffered).
and here's to hoping he doesn't keep Kerry off of the TV for very long!
Is there anything factual to back this up or is this just one of those rumors? Hey, I don't care for the man for a whole host of reasons but if there is no real evidence to support such an insinuation then let's not travel down that road. Our President has seen his share of rumors that haven't been proved.
