    Andy Rooney, 60 Minutes Commentator has died, says CBS News...

    CBS News is reporting that long time commentator, Andy Rooney, died Friday evening from complications from surgery.

    I came to enjoy Mr. Rooney's work while in College back in the 1980's. I didn't always agree with his position on things, but I liked his frankness. Despite what I never got the impression he was too worried about what other people thought. He had an insight, perhaps a clarity that appealed to me. Too often the news we see on television is overly processed, packaged and slanted. To find out what's really going on, you have to weed through the bias of the left, the right, etc. to get am objective grasp of a particular story. Andy Rooney wasn't without bias, he just didn't hide it.

    "I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for squi rting out babies."

    "Most people are born with equal intelligence, but blacks have watered down their genes because the less intelligent ones are the ones that have the most children. They drop out of school early, do drugs and get pregnant."
    [from a phone interview]

    "When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of probability."

    "Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game."
