Just when I was about to call it quits for the evening

There was very little blog-worthy today. It's a gray kind of rainy day and my mood matched. Nothing was the least bit humorous or irritating.

Until I read the below referenced article. Maybe Andy "Looney" Rooney has a point...

But man, get a real job. You've been in the ivory tower so long, the oxygen has not gotten to your brain since.. umm... maybe 1960?

Apparently his contract must be up soon and he's trying to prove that he's a viable commodity to CBS by slamming Mel Gibson, his movie, and our troops in the last 30 days.

I'm proud to support our troops. While they may have signed up for the college benefits, they are still overseas fighting for us and for the Iraqi people.

What is Rooney doing to help either cause? Does he think his crotchey comments are furthering debate? Will he change any minds? Likely not. He might get himself dropped from CBS. That network has been sitting on the hot seat since January... angry veterans groups are they last thing need attacking them (in addition to the FCC, their advertisers, family groups, and conservatives).
