Andy Rooney, 92

Andy Rooney, whose prickly wit was long a mainstay of CBS News and whose homespun commentary on “60 Minutes,” delivered every week from 1978 until 2011, made him a household name, died Friday in New York City.

Provided that I can live on a secure economic base, not have to worry about food and shelter, nor slave away for it, I would love another forty years of reading and blogging and asking girls to show their boobs.
