Rooney --- an outstanding example of the arrogance of fools..
Semper Fi
I'm looking forward to the day when Andy Rooney's death knocks the crop reports off the back page.
There has to be a court order somewhere to pull Andy Rooney's plug. If babbling incoherently like a "vegetable" qualifies, his days have to be numbered.
Agree only occasionally with Rooney ... on this one he's right.
Terri and the Pope ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!
I feel lost if I dont read the newspaper every morning.
I sit there all alone reading, drinking coffee and having opinions -- some of which I wouldnt dare tell you about because I dont want you to hate me.
I bought newspapers from around the world in a news store in New York this week. Most of them had pictures of Pope John Paul's body on Page One.
I dont know how people feel about seeing the pope's body. At most funerals in this country now, I think the casket is usually closed -- or not even there, sometimes.
I dont think people want anyone staring at them after theyve died. I dont. It's a great picture of the pope, though.
It's basically the same picture, but every paper used it differently. Some show the whole room. Some have close-ups of his face. They had it from a dozen different angles.
I saw that they only dress a pope in red after he dies.
They said they used a pair of brown shoes he liked.
This was a full page in the Paris paper, Le Figaro.
In Dublin, the Irish Independent used more of a close-up.
They called him John Paul The Great.
This Turkish newspaper, I think its Turkish, used pictures of him still alive. Same with this one from Madrid, Spain. I go along with that.
The Swiss paper, The New Zurich Zeitung, had it at the bottom of the page. Is Swiss different from German? Looks like German.
I dont even know where this paper's from. China, I guess ... and if you dont think it's getting to be a small world, look at the ad on the front page of a Chinese newspaper under the picture of a Polish pope in Rome, Italy. It's for a Mercedes Benz car made in Stuttgart, Germany.
People who aren't Catholic have been pretty good about honoring and respecting Pope John Paul. But, I think they probably had enough of this now.
One good thing, stories about Pope John Paul pushed Terri Schiavo off the front page. I mean, we didn't need any more of that.
Andy Rooney is one more reason why I have turned off the major news networks.
Catholic Ping - Please freepmail me if you want on/off this list
Terri Ping!
What a nasty little man.
I, frankly, wish something would knock him off of all media everywhere!
"He commented on how similar the Swiss language looked like German on the printed page."
What a coincidence!!!!!!!!!
I just came out of a meeting where everyone echoed the same sentiment. I was steaming!
[barf alert] please
Andy Rooney appears to be an atheist (from his "I don't know of God" comment when he was recently asked to swear an oath as he took the stand.
What do expect someone ignorant of religion to remark on when covering the death of a Pope? Especially a person who played a role in the downfall of Eastern Bloc communism?
This person"Rooney" is total evil!!!My good G-D help this person!!!Be not afraid be strong!!!! evil is evil good is good life is life!!!!Good G-D is Good G-D!!!thank you all
I think I am going to throw up. The flip attitude toward Terri's murder is beyond belief. Well, now we know who's who and what's what. Rooney is part of the culture of death brigade.
