So are many from other nationalities...it just seems to be the sport of Europe to blame Americans for doing such things and only Americans


Not only, just a few... And there is a good reason for it based on evidence.

But don't get upset, its not all Americans, just a few who give America a bad name.

Former U.S. President Clinton making progress but will remain in hospital (msn.com)

(Reuters) -Former U.S. President Bill Clinton will remain overnight in a Southern California hospital following a urological infection, but he has continued to make "excellent progress" and is expected to be discharged on Sunday, his spokesman said in a statement on Saturday.

The 75-year-old, who served as president from 1993 to 2001, entered the University of California Irvine Medical Center on Tuesday evening after suffering from fatigue.

Clinton spokesperson Angel Urena said the former president was doing well.

"He is in great spirits and has been spending time with family, catching up with friends, and watching college football," Urena said in a statement posted on Twitter.

Clinton's wife, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, was at the hospital on Saturday.

Since his admission to the hospital's intensive care unit, he has received fluids and antibiotics, his doctors said.

Clinton, who was in California to attend a dinner and reception for his foundation in Los Angeles County, has dealt with health problems in the past. He had quadruple bypass operation in 2004 and a procedure to open a blocked artery in 2010.

The Democrat served two four-year terms in the White House, overseeing strong economic growth while engaging in bruising political battles with congressional Republicans.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives impeached him in 1998 on charges arising from his sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, but Clinton was acquitted by the Senate.

He was only the second U.S. president to be impeached. Republican President Donald Trump would later become the third when he was impeached twice during his term.

Clinton, a former Arkansas governor, has combined a folksy charm with deep knowledge of policy issues. He defeated an incumbent president, Republican George H.W. Bush, in 1992 and then beat longtime Republican Senator Bob Dole to win re-election in 1996.

Well, I hope he recovers. I think those UTIs can be rather painful.

Looking at the picture with Hillary and her bodyguards in masks, it drives home the fact that politicians seem to have no real semblance of a "private life," especially when they're at that level of fame (or infamy, depending on how you look at it).

And of course, there's always been all kinds of gossip and other stuff revolving around the Clintons.

So, I guess there's something to be said for being obscure, unknown, and a nobody. I know that, if I ever end up in the hospital, there won't be cameras camped outside and reporters snooping around about my condition.

Surely you haven't read it. It's not manly to read the manual.

I had a boss who would not read documentation believing, correctly, that it was at least in part wrong. But I also learned that sometimes it's a useful thing to do as long as I remember that "here there be tygers" ready to devour the overly credulous.

An almost daily conversation in our place is....

Wife: The TV isn't working.
Me: What isn't working?
Wife: I pressed a button and it won't get Foxtel.
Me: Which button did you press?
Wife: I don't know.
Me: How can you not know? You pressed it!
Wife: Just fix it.

My wife learned things about the computer and me:

1. before coming to see me, reboot the computer.
2. When in a hole, stop digging. Leave all messages for me to look at (or take a screen shot).
3. If I show her how to do something, she takes notes for the next time.

When there's a TV issue, push buttons some more. Random chance will result in it working sooner or later.
