Note to future Gawker guest editors: see, this is why we don't use our one fairly earnest recurring feature, And Now He's Dead, as a joke to 'mourn' the deaths of DJs and sitcom creators. Oh well. It's a teaching moment.
 Our 38th President, Gerald R. Ford Jr., is dead at 93. The only president never elected either to the presidency or vice presidency, he took office in the wake of the Watergate scandal. "Our long national nightmare is over," he said in his inaugural address, and though permanently restoring the country's faith in government proved too slightly too tall an order for Ford or, well, anyone, he did make a great deal of progress in that direction. Though he served for only 2 1/2 years, during that time he ended the U.S. involvement in the war in Vietnam, helped mediate a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Egypt, signed the Helsinki human rights convention with the Soviet Union and traveled to Vladivostok in the Soviet Far East to sign an arms limitation agreement with Soviet president Leonid Brezhnev. He also launched the careers of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, but hey, nobody's perfect. Famous for being candid, in a State of the Union address in 1975, he told Congress, "the State of the Union is not good." Rest in Peace, Mr. Ford, and thanks for keeping it real.
