    I used to appreciate his sardonic wit up until about 10 years ago.
    RIP Andy.

    No doubt he spoke to the wannabe curmudgeon in me.

    Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.

    I believe someone wrote a very believable, very racist article in Mr. Rooney's style, and he was never able to shed the tainted reputation he acquired. Such a shame, as Andy was not a racist.

    I loved listening to him, but hated watching him on the tube. Those eyebrows made me want to grab a weed-whacker and apply a trim.
    QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?

    Sad indeed. If you believe in the Afterlife, he's having a beer and discussing the days news with Paul Harvey and Walter Cronkite.
    I am surprised at such a sudden deterioration in a woman whose only ailment was a lazy anus.

    No, it's more likely he's kvetching about those damned kids on his celestial lawn.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Andy was pretty bombastic about Curt Cobain's suicide, which upset me a little.

    I remember "Point Counterpoint". Andy's commentary replaced that segment, and I preferred the debate.
