Old Guys Rule: How the world works

How the world works lately...
If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work,
He blames the restaurant.
If you smoke three packs a day
For 40 years and die of lung cancer,
Your family blames the Tobacco company.
If your neighbor crashes
Into a tree while driving home drunk,
He blames the bartender.
If your grandchildren are
Brats without manners, You blame television.
If your friend is shot by a
Deranged madman,
You blame the gun manufacturer...
And if a crazed person breaks
Into the cockpit and
Tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet,
And the passengers
Kill him instead,
The mother of the crazed deceased
Blames the airline.
I must have lived too long to
Understand the world
As it is anymore.

So, if I die while my OLD WRINKLED TOUSH is parked in front of this computer, I want all of you to Blame Bill Gates.

Tucker Carlson

As a print journalist, you can be frustrated by people who don't call you back, parts of the story you can't get. TV gets you access to everyone because people call you back. It also allows you to satisfy your curiosity. I am a very curious person.

I have no way of knowing how people really feel, but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back.
Tucker Carlson

I think Michael Moore is loathsome, though, not because he dislikes Bush, but because he seems to dislike America.
