    Beating the prior record holder - Ronald Reagan - Gerald Ford became the longest living US president. As of today, he's 93 years and 121 days old. Reagan died on his 120th day of his 93rd year.

    Thank you...president...Ford.

    That's nice. I didn't think that Fords lasted that long, though. Usually the engine blows up.

    I dunno...
    I owned 2 Ford vans, and the 'gines rocked.
    Granted, they were 1980s vintage... by now they probably pack aluminum-block, super-duper computer-controlled fuel efficieny "wimp-o-matic" crapola.

    Apparently they used some chintzy steel in the bods, tho' - 'cos they rusted all to hell until there'd be bits falling off as they sis-boom-bah'd down the line.

    I mean- granted, I live in the Western Extents of the Soviet Socialist Republik of New York, where one small town dumps enough road salt over one Winter week-end to mummify a platoon of King Kongs, but these babies looked like a B-17 after a mission over Schweinfurt by the time I got rid of 'em...

    As for the President...

    Well - he did serve in the Navy during WW2. Definitely cool.

    As Prez, tho'... eh...
    I'm old enough to remember watching this blunder from the Ford-Carter debate:
    "There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford Administration." Ford also said that he did not "believe that the Poles consider themselves dominated by the Soviet Union."

    Pardoning Tricky Dick ?
    Much as I think Nixon was cool - a sumbitch and a half, but cool - this smacks of the sort of back-room deal of the worst stripe. Especially as we now know just what a sumbitch Richard had been.

    He did survive his encounter with "Squeaky" - but mostly because the silly bitch was too dumb to work "Old Slab-Sides" properly.
    Guess that's what hangin wit' Charlie gits ya.

    He didn't get it whipped.

    At least he wasn't Carter.
