Only The Good Presidents Die Young
Former President Gerald Ford died yesterday at 93. The only president to not be elected prez or veep, Ford was also known as the guy who pissed off hippies by pardoning Nixon and the guy who pissed off Vietnam War supporters (both of them) by pardoning draft dodgers. Despite his death, Ford was the second story on the cover of the Daily News. That’s okay, though, as all former presidents are honored with 30 days of flags at half-staff, according to U.S. Flag Code. (Even Nixon!) He was good enough as a center at Michigan in college to be offered contracts by several NFL teams; however, he turned these down for a far less important career in politics. And, uh, we’ll always remember the time he visited Villanova! Or, really, not. |
