I find it amazing that there was a Phizer commercial at the beginning and a computer in the background. I'm willing to bet that the little piece of paper in the lower right hand of the CRT said "on button". Andy just learned what sarcasm is, what's next Manscaping?
"We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."
It's sad how someone who wrote such pieces as "Essay On War" has slid down in into doddering nonsense. Time for Andy to retire and to bring in someone several generations younger.
@mike.m:are you implying andy rooney did not have a firm grasp of the english language at the age of one? his generation's greatest mouthpiece! i would assume, one could see, with his command of the english language -- he started at a very early age.
Dammit! I thought it was going to be John McCain. And now I want to see an old-man fight between Rooney and McCain.
"Ladies & gentlemen! Please direct your attention to the ring. In the striped Depends, standing 5'7" accounting for height-loss from disc degeneration, the Aggravation from Albany, the Great White Whiner, The Chronic Complainer - ANDY ROOOOOOOOONEY!
And in the solid Depends with the four-post cane, standing 5'10" in his slippers, the Phoenix Fury, the Pow-Pow POW, the Maverick Mauler - JOHN MCCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN!"
You fogies know the rules; now touch canes and come out complainin'
When I "recycled" my cell phone, I was led to believe it would be given to a battered womens shelter to allow women in crisis to call 911 on. I asked because I care about Mother Earth. Sorry to know I was lied to.
Ohh good work !, you've solved the waste problem & put these recyclers out of business, you can feel happy now as you fly back to your comfortable little home in your 1st world city.
Only soon, everyone in that film will no longer be able to feed themselves or their children...good work.
There are always at least 2 sides to every issue & "Solutions", more often then not are compromises.
And $8 a day is a salary worth fighting for in Guiyu, China.
(And, yes, they spelled the city wrong in the story)
@Tedinasia: so what you're saying is that creating a toxic environment by burning plastic, using caustic chemicals, and discarding anything not of value back into the the ecosystem is "recycling" and that we should just turn a blind eye to the pollution and abusive working conditions because those people should be happy they even have a job? Get wise, friend.
We may be comfortable here in the West, but that doesn't mean that we can't be concerned about the health and comfort of those elsewhere, nor that we should simply tolerate waste, pollution or horrid working conditions abroad just because they're not "1st World" countries. Cleaning up that kind of pollution, and actually making sure that those who cause the waste in the first place are financially responsible for its disposal, can actually create good jobs. And by setting standards (or enforcing existing standards) we not only help other countries raise living conditions, but we also ensure that the US is competitive by making other companies follow the same sort of guidelines that American companies have to.

I would imagine it started prenatal. He probably started penning speeches on the uterine wall! (too much?)
