may he RIP

Andy Rooney so dreaded the day he had to end his signature "60 Minutes" commentaries about life's large and small absurdities that he kept going until he was 92 years old.
Even then, he said he wasn't retiring. Writers never retire. But his life after the end of "A Few Minutes With Andy Rooney" was short: He died Friday night, according to CBS, only a month after delivering his 1,097th and final televised commentary.

Definitely sad to see him go. Only good thing about 60 Minutes was watching his segment near the end.

Man, and it only feels like yesterday when someone sent me some fucking retarded "FWD:" email concerning him supposedly speaking in favor of something retarded like praying in schools (you know, the old "lets act like a celebrity said something in order to promote our stupid agenda" bullshit). And now he's dead.
