Gerald Ford


Dec. 26 - U.S. President Gerald Ford Dies


◇ In 1948, Harry Truman used to say this in his campaign. 

"General Motors, General Electric, General Food, and General MacArthur......... every General I know is on the Republican list. But General Wellfair is on our Democratic list.


◇ Gerald Ford
Gerald Ford, the 35th president of the United States, did not gain much popularity among the public as his clear character was not highlighted at the time of his election.

Since he is neither from a prestigious family like Kennedy nor has he achieved anything tangible, critics say he is a president with little hope.

He was always haunted by the same sense of defeat as he had won the election.
The mood turned around after he said in the opening of his inaugural speech.

"I'm not Lincoln, I'm just Ford."

Ford and Lincoln emphasized the public image over the upper class by comparing the public car Ford to the upper class car Lincoln by the name of the car.


◇ 鯨戰蝦死
It means that the battle of whales is a battle of shrimps, which is figuratively interpreted to mean that the weak are harmed by the strong and have nothing to do with the fighting of each other.


* It doesn't matter what they call you. The question is what you answer them.
- W.C. Fields.

* Admit it. You're right, the other you're right, the other you're right.
- Huang Hui

* Time is
It's too slow for a waiting man.
It's too fast for a scared man.
It's too long for a grieving person.
It's too short for a happy person.
But for those who love, time is eternal.
- Jones Berry.
