That's all they've got so far.

Wow. I hadn't heard anything about him being sick or anything like that. I suppose at 93 things can change pretty quick, but this is a bit of a surprise to me.

Well he hasn't exactly been well lately. He looked pretty down at the celebration where he was honored as the longest lived president ever.

So long to Michigan's first and only.

Once again, I opened Hatrack before I opened the news, and learned here first.

(I did't know which of the two threads on the subject to post in -- they both have the same time stamp on the first post.)

He was the greatest president never elected. In a time of political frustration and chaos, he was the nice guy who finished first.

So long Mr. Ford, butt of a thousand Chevy Chase jokes, almost-pro-football player (his choice), President for less than 1000 days. You may not be the greatest, or amongst the list of the greatest Presidents ever, but you were far, far, far from the worst.
