I like how the French refused to be in NATO while it was acctually a real defensive orginization. They would take advantage of it., but be not constrained by it. But once it became a military UN..they joined and now boycott plans to provide for the defence of Turkey.

Andy Rooney expresses his opinion. In alot of ways he is an amazinhunk. I would think this fact would endear him to the French.

I'll never forget the time Andy Rooney told the story of when shortly after World War II the Americans told Japan, "no more weapons, build cars" but then later in the 80's told Japan "no more cars, build weapons"

You perturbed my starting conviction that 60 minutes was the only true source of information on this planet

naughty boy

@Yeager perhaps he discovered some french gene in his gene pool ?

Heh 60 minutes is decent. However, it is a TV show there to make money and it is far from an authority when it comes to truth.

It usually comes off as quite impartial, but that cracks under close scrutiny.

Rooneys assessments are just his personal opinions, not truths as such. But amusing.

And every show there is some mushy story about the unlikely musician that made it or somesuch. Americans love mushyness. I am embarrased by it.

You know what really bothers me? Big plastic coathangers. They only want to go in one direction, but somehow they always end up facing each other. Then you end up jamming too many clothes in your closet and everything gets wrinkled. I think the guy who designed the big plastic coathanger needs the 'mommy dearest' treatment.
