Andy Rooney

I never miss Andy Rooney on Sunday evening. This week was no different. I've always admired Andy and consider him a National Treasure.
This weeks topic he chose unemployment and plumbers. He seemed to be claiming unemployed Americans were unwilling to take jobs as tradesmen due to over qualifications. Accusing the population of being rather smug.

I question Mr Rooney's data, America needs more plumbers and less journalists. He certainly didn't offer any facts to support his theory.
Unemployed plumbers are no doubt outraged. Not to mention the qualification to be a Licensed Plumber are far more formidable than a journalist. After all anyone can be a journalist.

Possibly he isn't aware most Americans would prefer to work in crap than attempting to sell crap in prime time.

Anyhow maybe he's just having a bad day or his toilet has overflowed again
