Sometimes I think I should do a regular segment like Andy Rooney did....

I loved that part of 60 Minutes. Yes, I know, Andy had his very bad moments too.

I have to fight against that curmudgeon tendency. Keep ant hills ant hills!

That guy was great. The segment almost had no rhyme or reason in its relation to the show. Rooney was the cathartic complainer before we could all do it on the internet forums. You lived vicariously through Rooney as he railed on--well, everything. I always remember when he railed about soap dishes being right in the line of fire of the shower spout. Hilarious.
