1 Is it just me? I've noticed that everytime a US President dies, so does a major black Entertainer very close thereof...now President Ford and James Brown; President Reagan and Ray Charles?!! If this is happening in 'threes', who's next... Carter and B.B. King?

2 Jesse Jackson? Oh, entertainer. Well he is fun to watch.

3 President Fords last fall can inspire Rantburg to new heights through the creation of an official Rantburg Dead Pool.

4 Gerald Ford was arguably the greatest athlete to serve as President.

5 Cater and OJ Simpson would be a more apt pairing.

10 Ford pardoned Nixon. That was the most important thing he did for the country. Other than that, he was a declinist who presided over the collapse of South Vietnam.

11 Zhang, he didn't have much choice, given that the Democrats overrode his veto of their bill that cut support for the South Vietnamese. He tried, but he wasn't going to create a constitutional crisis for the sake of Vietnam.
