Maybe Bill Clinton will repent.
If you look at his proximate blood relations (1st, 2d, and 3d degree) who were older than he, you discover the longevity champion to date has been a paternal aunt who lived to be 82. His nominal sister lived to be 80 (he admitted in 2004 that the two had never met and he is unacknowledged in her obituary). Another paternal aunt lived to be 74. The longest lived male (bar him) was his nominal brother (whom he did meet a few times), who died in 2009 at age 70. He’s done a satisfactory job of keeping his weight down and he’s not known to have an issue with street drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. I’m going to wager the medical care he receives is more meticulous than you or I might receive. So far, his life span exceeds expectations by almost a decade.

I desire to apply Occam’s Razor here (Bill is old and in not-great health), but I can’t help but wonder if he has quietly announced he has information that will lead to the arrest of prosecution of one Hilary Rodham Clinton.
I would think his funeral had been planned years ago when he was president, and those plans periodically updated after he left office. The funeral of even an ex president requires a lot of attention to detail and protocol. I am no Hillary fan, believe me, but is there really anything intrinsically suspicious or wrong with updating funeral plans for an octogenarian in declining health?

No, it does not. People elect to do such things. A common-and-garden Southern Baptist service in a chapel in Little Rock will do. Contemporary services are commonly embarrassing, so maintain decorum. You have Hillary, Chelsea, Marc Mezvinsky and his mother, the grandchildren, Roger, Roger’s son, Hugh Rodham and his wife, Tony Rodham’s widow, Tony Rodham’s children. Invitations to the children of Leon Ritzenthaler optional. Invitations to Sharon Pettijohn’s children, to Marc Mezvinsky’s father and to the issue of Roger for whose tertiary schooling BC paid rather awkward (though not for a uniform reason). Other attendees optional. You might forego a eulogy.
“You might forego a eulogy.”
Actual LOL. That’s a winner, Art Deco! 🏆
So “Kill Bill” is not just a movie title. 🙂
