Andy, you are great!! You and Winston Churchhill have a lot in common and below are some of Churchhill's quotes, just for you:
1. There is no such thing as a good tax.
2. We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
3. The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
4. You have enemies? Good. That means you?ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.
5. If you have ten thousand regulations, you destroy all respect for the law.
6 You can always count on Americans to do the right thing?after they?ve tried everything else.
7. The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.
8. The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
9. Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn?t happen.
10. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.
11. Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
12. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

FRED:
Mellow out here, guy. The topic of this article was positivity/negativity. You have blown this whole thread out of proportion to stick in your one fact. Mr. Rooney may have been off in statistics, but that was not his point. Let me guess: you are right winger? They have a habit of overlooking the forest because of the individual trees. Satire and dry wit are often lost on them.

YOU ARE STILL THE BEST, ANDY ROONEY. There have been times when I have disagreed with some of your assesments, but you've stated your view so clearly that I could only smile & go back to where I rec'd my original info. Yep, some commercials are better than the programs they sponsor & believe it or not my take is that watching the commercials helps someone keep his or her job.

Certainly no more so than beloved comedienne Gracie Allen, who running to become the first woman president in 1940 encouraged the American people to take pride in the national debt, boasting that "it's the biggest in the world." Of course, every candidate for office is "Proud to be an American." But she was a savvy economist too, for she proposed depositing the $43 billion owed by the government in a "safe" bank at two percent. And she thought positively in a time when the Depression still lingered. "This used to be a government of checks and balances," she complained, "Now it's all checks and no balances. But I have a cure for that. I'll sign all checks with invisible ink. To take care of emergency relief, I plan to build thousands of new gas stations." Nevertheless, says something about this country today when ppl like Gracie would undoubtedly be considered politically incorrect....
