From DC area - many have trouble with the flu/concussion/blood clot story;

Blake Hounshell ruffled some feathers by tweeting the Iranian plane crash story under the heading "conspiracy theory." (it was considered irresponsible) BUT no one has seen Hillary in a couple of weeks.

This is like Chris Stevens. The conspiracy theories aren't right; but the official version of events doesn't make sense either.

People have been working a lot recently (given the fact that it is Holiday weekend). My hope is that it is all related to the fiscal cliff...but I don't know...

My sister-in-law is a lobbyist - hopefully she'll provide some perspective.
