Cheney has a blood clot in his leg

Vice President Dick Cheney has a blood clot in his left calf, a potentially dangerous situation for a man who has had a history of heart problems.

He won't be hospitalized, but will be taking blood thinning medication. Fox News is reporting that the drug he'll be taking will most likely be Coumadin.

Last week a suicide bomber in Afganistan may have targeted the vice president--the bomber did kill 23 people--which led to a series of hateful comments regarding Cheney. The offensive comments were later pulled.

I'll have to keep an eye on the Huffington Post this afternoon.
