amongst the greek gods, new oreleans saints players and other odd & sods, low and behold but who is depicted on one of them... Washington, Lincoln and the ex-president who just the same day had his ticket punched for the GOP convention in the sky, GERALD R. FORD!

i wonder if Chevy Chase will be invided to the funeral... maybe even a pallbearer?
