Subject: Fw: CBS couldn't shut Andy Rooney up

Bravo!!!

Subject: CBS couldn't shut Andy Rooney up


THIS SAYS IT ALL!!!
===================

Good for him!!!
Surprised CBS let him get away with this even though
he's right.

Andy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:

I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of
anything except numbers.

The only things I can think of that are truly
discriminatory are things like the United ***** College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America.
Try to have things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud
Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens... Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes
you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.

I am thinking about this astronaut. The headlines saying now that she had 'mental anguish', and that, her mental anguish is worse than that of male astronauts...

From the news article:

"Police charged Nowak with attempting to murder Shipman based on weapons and other items found with Nowak or in her car: pepper spray, a BB-gun, a new steel mallet, knife and rubber tubing. Nowak's lawyer, Donald Lykkebak, has said she only wanted to talk to Shipman"

An attempted murder charge, is all about intent.... intent to kill somebody.

What do you think? Did she intend to kill her rival? If so, does 'mental anguish' excuse her for this?

Why is it that in canada they can deal with situations such as 'snow', yet the Uk has a little flurry of it and the whole country stops? Its terrible that even our nations capital is over-welmed by this so-called 'white-out'.

From watching the news I know many transwomen are murdered. The almost universal defense of these men are they thought they were picking up a women only later to discover it was a man or a post-op transgender. They panicked and killed the "man in the dress". I think this is a lame excuse to take a life. Maybe to at least hit the trans in a fit of blind rage, ok I can rationally understand that but to kill her? No I think these men went too far and they deserve life in jail. I know to be a trans is dangerous and they are assaulted all the time even when they are minding their own business. There is one thing I do not understand about some trans women. They have full knowledge that there are violent bigots out there. Yet they choose not to be honest about their trans status (pre-op or post-op) when engaging in a sexual relationship. Why would some transwomen intentionally place themselves in such a potentially dangerous position? I want to know at the time what was she thinking?

I'm sure the whole world has heard about the Astro-nut and her stalking roadtrip to Florida. In Diapers none the less!
I like what Dave letterman said about just finding a car that get's 900 miles to a tank of gas.
I have been in a hurry to get somewhere long distance and done the diaper thing.
Some U.S. Senators have been known to do the same during a fillibuster.
Sure the stalking thing is bizarre, but what I find is shocking is that she had a bb gun!
So admit it, we're all friend here.
Have you ever chose to put on the portable bathroom for those, let's say "special occasions"?

Why can't he just drive according to the rules and be done with it. (If it is an annoyed motorist who is perpetrating this crime)

I see everyone talking about the arrested astronaut, with the centerpeice being her wearing diapers. Thats not much of a stretch, kinda an obvious method considering she's an astronaut. When i first read about this, what stood out to me was the "steel mallet, 4 inch knife, trash bags and RUBBER TUBING" Does no one realize what the RUBBER TUBING was for? It would enable her to cut off a persons limbs, yet keeping them alive by preventing death and/or unconsciousness from blood loss. That way she could keep her alive longer, submitting her to the torture of having more body parts cut off while being aware of it, and extracting all the possible info she wanted by promising a quick death. IM SICK OF HEARING ABOUT THE DARN DIAPERS is all im saying.
