America lost a Great American this week, President Ford passed away this week after several health scares over the last decade of his life. No official cause of death has been stated, but he died as all of hope to, in his sleep, at home at the ripe old age of 93. The Mainstream Media is calling him the Accidental President, hoping to remind us of his supposed clumsiness as portrayed by Chevy Chase on SNL. Nothing could be further from the truth. Gerald Ford was an All-American center at Michigan during the 1930's when College Football was king, and Michigan football was arguably the best, they were undefeated for two years during President's Ford tenure. President Ford then went on to Coach and serve our Country during the War. Before representing the people of western Michigan in Congress for 25 years. President Ford was a great American, but all we are going to hear in the coming weeks is about the pardon of President Nixon. It is a shame we should instead focus on his accomplishments and the accomplishments of the other members of his generation. Without their sacrifices we would be living in vastly different times.

Very good post about perhaps the best president we have had in our lifetime. And though I share in the desire to live to the age of at least 93, I hope when it's time for me to exit, I won't be ripe. Instead I'd prefer to go out with the wrong shoe on each foot like another great American, Nelson Rockefeller.
