RIP, Andy Rooney

All men are not created equal but should be treated as though they were under the law.
People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe.
Nothing in fine print is ever good news.

I am trying to work out if the 50-50-90 is actually 90-10 rule.
Suhail Manzoor , you have a 50-50 chance of figuring out if you are 90% correct. 🙂
I love Andy Rooney. He’s the only grouchy and cranky man I like to hear what he has to say.
Most of his quotes and observation are true in this crazy world. Most of those quotes are also hilarious. Nice post!
Well, Tom Lee , at least he had a long innings..he only retired a month ago, at 92!
Thanks for those quotes. They’re great — and made me smile, even though no one else is around.
Anil Dash wrote a good post about Andy Rooney, he was special.

Thanks for the link, Chris Veerabadran . Here is an excerpt from the blog: Despite his later image as a curmudgeon and his admittedly skeptical tone, the bulk of the work that defined his career was being a voice of advocacy for those out of power, whether it was African Americans, women, or the image of military veterans in the waning days of Vietnam. And he was loyal in a way that few can even fathom today; He spent six decades working at CBS.
