Ford Taken To Hospital

Posted on December 13, 2005

President Gerald R. Ford the last surviving member of the Warren Commission and 38th President of the United States has been taken to the Eisenhower Medical Center in Southern California. Official word at the time of posting is that President Ford is under-going tests and will be released as soon as they are completed

Ford is the oldest living former President of the United States. He is also the only President to serve without being elected to the office of either President or Vice President. Ford was the House Minority Leader when appointed to serve as Vice President upon the resignation of Spiro Agnew in 1973.

Ford ascended to the Presidency on August 9, 1974 upon the resignation of Richard M. Nixon amid the Watergate scandal. He served out Nixon’s term and attained the Republican Nomination for President in 1976 which he lost to Jimmy Carter.

Ford was known in the Congress as a man of integrity and was seen as being beyond reproach. During his tenure as President, Ford over saw the completion of the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam and the evacuation of the US Embassy in Saigon. He was an advocate for a smaller more fiscally responsible government.

Please join me in praying for President Ford in the hope that he is not in ill health.

    Baaad! Baaad! ACLU! cry thy sheep on the manger scene … Gotta lotta say… and I ain’t gunna go away. I was only 19 when I began… and finished my novel with a plethora of extremely helpful insights which you may have not yet realized; engrossing wit, sardonic satire; and basically straight-forward-Jesus that’d make anyone cognizant this is only a test of our Finite Existence. For we alone decide which Eternity to go to, Upstairs or DownTown, because we alone have free-choice. Thus, God Almighty respects/honors U.S. when we arrive at the Final Judgment… because sHe loves U.S.

    Phazers on stun. I talk of a Heavenly Scent, an ardent desire with the whiff of a definite locale, while I bolster the mean, Great Beyond with the passion of a magnanimous madman: Full of some gorgeous, panoramic, tall-true-tales making U.S. yearn and sigh for Heaven Above; A novel of short-stories, quotes, prayers, poetry, hardcore hilarity (which is heartbreaking), aggressive conundrums, Salvador-Dali-homily, and some savvy-MHz, avant-garde, Phat-Boy-Christianity from a severely, head-injured Catholic you might call crazy. That’s, uh, all very well-N-good. But, yet, nobody ever said YOU were sane, either. Touché? After this is all over, I expect Him to edit my theoretical cranium. I seeeriously doubt He will, though. Jesus loves the crazies who aren’t necessarily conformed to what others say.

    What you’ll find in my wonderful, fruitFULL, dynamic novel is an indelible treasure, unlike any other in the known cosmos. It’s by moi. And I’m one-of-a-kind. Not bragging, brudda. He threw away the mold. ONE o’me is plenty. Thank-you-God HeeHee If you decide to read this delicious script, get in touch with my CPA, Edward Foree, at 1-785-266-9111. Out this month. Poifect for both X-mass and/or evangelism!

    GOD BLESS YOU WITH DISCERNMENT!!

    I’m sure its unique, and I hope I don’t hurt your feelings too much, but I’d rather not read it, just reading these few paragraphs you wrote gave me a headache.

    Jay I thought we had a restriction on comments, that they had to be topic related or be deleted.
