Former President Gerald Ford Dead at 93
Rancid Altoid was one of a large number of readers to tell us that "Former U.S. President Gerald Ford, who was swept into office after the Watergate scandal and later pardoned Richard Nixon, died at age 93, his widow said on Tuesday."
Another US-centric article. I think I'll shit my pants like a 2 year old and piss and moan about it. What the hell? Don't you evil USians realize there are other people in the world? How dare a USian site, hosted in the USA, started by a USian and edited primarily by USians post information about something US-centric. You bastards! This wasn't voted on by the UN, it's illegal!
I guess the wolves finally got him.
Was he eaten by wolves?

He was delicious.
So.
Farewell then, Gerald Ford.
Many said you were not the sharpest tool in the box.
How wrong they are, now.

"Hola bambe, hungala dimba Gerald Ford.. *click* *click* *click* *click* ..hola bambe, allah bumba bubba hulla humba hey."
And in response, an obligatory Futurama quote:
Bill Clinton's Head: (to Leela) Hey, sugar cookie! You know, legally, nothing I can do counts as sex anymore.
Gerald Ford's Head: I apologize for his rudeness, ma'am. He gets this way around meaty looking women.
Fry: (to Clinton) Hey, I remember you. I was gonna vote for you one time. But voting isn't cool, so I stayed home alone and got trashed on Listerine.
Gerald Ford's Head: Frankly, I've never felt voting to be all that essential to the process.
Richard Nixon's Head: No kidding, Ford!
as Tom Brokaw immediately came to mind when I heard the news. There are audio bits on Dana Carvey's website, and occasionally someone will upload the entire skit to YouTube (before it's inevitably taken down by the copyright police).

Voice of Producer: What? That'd be a huge story - Ford dying, and you coming out!
Tom Brokaw: But I'm not gay!
Voice of Producer: Today you're not gay, you know.. but then one day you wake up, you like men, and Gerald Ford dies, and we're screwed. Everyone's hearing about it from Dan Rather!
