	Ed Morrow on Andy Rooney & Iraq on National Review Online
		Rooney, whose little bits of calculated folksiness have been appended to 60 Minutes for decades, deliberately invokes a simple-minded persona for his essays.
		In the very speech Rooney refers to, Bush stated "we have difficult work to do in Iraq" and "the transition from dictatorship to democracy will take time." Only someone deliberately ignoring Bush's many admonitions that the struggle against terrorism will be difficult and long could claim he gave the impression the war was all over.
		Rooney's speech next takes a swipe at the carrier landing Bush took part in as a tribute to and mark of his trust in the military.

	Guardian Unlimited Football \| News \| Rooney set to reject Everton
		Wayne Rooney is scheduled to return to Everton for the first time since Euro 2004 today, when he is set to reject the club's offer of a new contract.
		An Everton insider last night rebuffed such claims, insisting Rooney would definitely be paid £50,000 a week over five years no matter how the team performed, and said full details of his new contract would be forwarded to his advisers as soon as he indicated a willingness to accept.
		Some close to Rooney are convinced that Everton are privately intent on selling him and have merely made a great show of publicly offering the striker £50,000 a week and pricing him at £50m in order to appease fans and would-be season ticket buyers, most of whom remain adamant he should stay.

	Rooney: Rooney: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Rooney is an acceptably underwhelming, state of the art, guitar-centric pop record.
		This would be a fine thing except for the hubris on display, best exemplified by "Popstars"-- which, contrary to what Rooney might want to believe, is what they are trying to become.
		Given Rooney's current label affiliation (that's Geffen, as in Interscope, as in a big honkin' cog in that money machine) and the amount of label-generated buzz these five chaps are currently benefiting from, calling out Britney and Justin for raking in crazy money isn't a brilliant move to bust on your first album.

		And the cards have continued to fall in Rooney's favor: They materialized from nowhere onto the side stage of Weezer's tour earlier this year and are now opening for the Strokes, thanks to heavy-hitting management and major-label clout.
		Rooney were spotted by The Firm (the all-powerful movie-star management company that recently moved into music), and the band had a choice of labels, picking Geffen so they could be stablemates with Weezer.
		This move paid off immediately, as Rooney landed the Weezer tour before they even had a release on the shelves; the band's debut is only now at the mixing stage, with just a three-song EP available as a taster.

		Rooney and other CBS staffers are still holding out hope that Rather will produce something to authenticate the supposed memos from the early 1970s that criticized Bush's record in the Texas Air National Guard.
