I came across the following headline and thought it would be something funny: Clinton ‘hostage-taker’ wanted help with drinking. Now how many other people would have assumed it was a story on some poor, lonely dude who couldn’t find someone to drink with him, and had to resort to taking booze hostages? I can’t be the only one. Am I?

Alas, it turns out to be a tale of desperation and one man threatening to blow himself up for health care.
