**Breaking News...PRESIDENT FORD DEAD

Our longest living president EVER. Age 93. The AP has just reported his death. I LOVE when "breaking news" occurs late at night, allowing night owls like myself a leg up on things. And funny how I WAS exhausted until I heard this news 20 minutes ago...and now i'm wired, like the "true newsman" I seem to be. I look forward to the retrospectives and pageantry surrounding his death. Our nation shines brightest during moments of protocol. And another Big Player slips into history for good. James Brown died yesterday...so who's next?
