President Ford has passed

[El Chuxter]

Gerald Ford has died at the age of 93, it was just announced. It looks like no details on time, place, or cause have come out yet.

Regardless of your thoughts on the guy's politics, a moment of silence is in order.

President Ford was the only president to serve without being elected. Keep the politics out of the General Discussions.

I just state the historical facts as I see them. Who are you? A moderator? If so I will do as you say. If not, you know what you can do with your recommendation.

I wonder how long it takes before Ford takes a tumble while walking on one of those clouds in heaven? He he. Just kidding. He was supposed to be a real nice guy. I love the "Simpsons" episode where he befriends Homer in the end.

I didn't think Blue2th's statement was inappropriate--he just stated a historical fact. What's the point of starting a thread like this if a person can't point out trivia like that?

OK, enough of the arguing about the politics, I as a mod am saying keep it out of here.

The greatest athlete to hold the oval office. RIP
