Farewell To A President

I'm watching CNN's coverage of the procession for the state funeral of Gerald Ford in Washington DC tonight; it's very low-key and respectful. The most somber part to me was when the motorcade procession stopped briefly in front of the WWII Memorial, a nod to Ford's Navy service in that war. If you haven't been to DC in a few years since that memorial was built, I recommend it. It's beautiful.

And as somber as it is, I'd rather watch this than more Dead Saddam Theatre coverage.

Rest in peace, Mr. Ford. The news cycle almost forgot you, but I got your back.
