"Andy Rooney" Hoax
Here's the lowdown from snopes.com on the notoriously Neanderthal "Andy Rooney" piece that's been making the rounds. http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/rooney4.asp It doesn't really ring true anyway--Andy is cranky, but he is old-fashioned civil-libertarian cranky, not bigoted and homophobic cranky, bless his cranky heart. A similar essay, called "A Bad American" has also been making the rounds, attributed to George Carlin, who has also disowned it.

I should have checked Snopes out too. It did seem really overboard cranky.
