"Death is a distant rumor to the young." -Andy Rooney ::Sadness:: Something devastating happened to the small East Bay town of Castro Valley this week, when the small community of friends and neighbors lost two children, well young adults actually, after the very bad decision was made to street race. Police reports say the car, a 1997 Corvette, had lost control on a curve on Dublin Canyon...

Andy Rooney Bitches, Moans About State Slogans On License Plates, Being Old [Andy Rooney] (Jalopnik)

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 16:20:00 GMT

Last night's bitch-fest by Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes' starts with his inability to discern the difference between cars and then as usual, inexplicably moves towards something only quasi-tangentially related. In this case, license plates and state slogans. Although there's no real point he's driving at, it's funny in that "Oh, Grandpa, you're so old" kind of way. Especially when he explains...

Is it Worth Going Green at Your Apartment? (MyNewPlace Blog)

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 22:14:17 GMT

This morning, we saw that Stanley Fish's column in the New York Times had evoked quite a backlash in its comments section. Professor Fish's article about the cumbersome nature of recycling, though it reads a bit like an Andy Rooney diatribe, does highlight some important points. Our interest stems our own preoccupation with the subject of green apartment living and trying to find ways...

An Andy Rooney Moment (The Happy Circumstance)

Tue, 29 Jul 2008 10:32:00 GMT

Remember the kerfuffle when Senator Obama's campaign put up a shield on a lectern that looked kind of like the Presidential seal? Remember the spittle flecked commentary about how it must be illegal to make a seal that kind of looks like another seal to convey a connection to government that isn't, ya know, really real? Remember when Congress declared the brush -entangled, well-disclosed, oft-visted...

RIP, Jerome Holtzman (Rumors and Rants)

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:34:00 GMT

He was quite possibly the last of his breed -- which is why there is no shortage of irony in writing a tribute to him on a blog. As reported by the Chicago Tribune , Jerome Holtzman died over the weekend at the age of 81. An old-school reporter with eyebrows that would make Andy Rooney blush, he started his career as a copy boy (a now-obsolete profession) at the Chicago Daily News (a...

The Things I've Heard (Out in Left Field)

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 14:45:00 GMT

Last Monday, I went back to the wacky world of business. I'm enjoying my new job. The only female in an office of about ten to twelve men, I've already tagged the Dwight Shrute and Michael Scott labels on two of my co-workers. A dead ringer for Andy Rooney is there, too. Three desks away from me. Wait. There is one woman in the office. She's our receptionist/secretary. But she's about...

I Don't Wear the Flag Pin (Ramblin' with Roger)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:34:00 GMT

I wish I could find the piece done some years back by Andy Rooney of all people, who explained well why he didn't wear a flag pin. Bob Schieffer on Face the Nation addressed the topic more recently here . But it's more personal than that. Very few people were wearing them before 9/11. Then wearing one not only supposedly "proved" patriotism, the lack of one, or the lack of a flag off...

Katie Couric: Andy Rooney In a Skirt? (NewsBusters)

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:32:34 GMT

When she's not using her vlog to further a biased take on the news, I've noticed that Katie Couric often complains about rather trivial nuisances in her Notebook segments posted on her Couric & Co. blog. Couric's June 18 edition sounds like a shorter and perkier version of an Andy Rooney rant on the topic of the decline of the wrist watch's popularity with the kids these days. You see,...

Normally, I ignore KOMO's resident editorial curmudgeon, Ken Schram. He's a poor man's Andy Rooney, but sometimes he means well. The rest of the time , the S.S. Schram seems adrift in a sea of crazy . Not one to disappoint, Schram's latest column again proves he's too blustery for his own good: Maybe it'll happen. Maybe it won't. But just the fact that somebody's even considering the...
