Ford to Self: Drop Dead

Gerald Ford is dead. I predict this will be the least mourned presidential death in history. More mourned than Jeanne Kirkpatrick, but less mourned than James Brown, in case you were searching for context.

Is it me, or have people been dying more and more lately? I sometimes feel that this blog is nothing but a big obituary column. Ann Richards, Pinochet, and now Gerald Ford. It's really too bad, because he was my dark, dark horse pick for 2008. Gerald Ford, my friends. He would have been due for a comeback. RIP.
