RIP President Gerald Ford.
The one time I visited Grand Rapids, I spent a day at the Presidential Library. Enjoyed every minute of it.
God bless the entire Ford family.

I have never seen such sloppy texting on Fox News alert for a breaking news story.

It is sad. I had to change to CNN...Fox doesn't do breaking news well. This kind of thing is too important to fumble.

he's had pneumonia recently.

I'm sure his age had a lot to do with it too, especially if he had pneumonia. He was 93, and that's a long life.

I have never seen such sloppy texting on Fox News alert for a breaking news story. The white background reads "GEROLD FORD" not "GERALD". There are multiple typos scattered in the ticker - sometimes corrected. And they JUST fixed "ROBERT NOVACK" to read "BOB NOVAK."

Based on some of Novak's comments on FOX just a moment ago, I'd just as soon they left Novak off completely, spelled correctly or not.

We will always have the fun memories of his exploits on the golf course. FORE!!! He took a lot of good-natured ribbing.
