That's really very unkind to Mrs. Clinton. She's of an age where shots of her before she applies makeup should be barred. She'll probably issue an edict to that effect if she prevails.

The Indians have a home remedy. There are two fruits high in citric acid that turn the little bugger into ceviche - namely, the citric acid dissolves its bones - and it works itself out.
