So former President and Nixon pardoner Gerald Ford passed away and the effect this had on me was...zero.  None.  Zip.  Nadda.  This is not to say, I don't feel a sense of sympathy for his family and friends, because I do, however my raw emtional and intellectual indifference to his passing struck me as more interesting than his actual death.  I suspect that many people's reaction was probably, "He was alive?  I thought he was already dead." Anyway, I'm no Patch Adams, but supposedly laughter is the best medicine, says the old adage.  Sooo if you are finding yourself going into deep depression at the death of Mr. Ford, I hope this prescient sketch from an old SNL skit will help pull you out of that presidential funk.
