Today's Daily Shirt is an old guy.
A really old guy.
And somewhat remarkable in a few respects; not the least of which, being one of but a handful of Earth-dwellers to be Shirted. But that's another apology for another day.
Anywho, I was breakfasting with my local 24-hour news channel, when I see a birthday surprise paraded across my TV screen. He was looking fairly old and infirm, like M.A.S.H. after it turned into "The Alan Alda Personal Drama Extravaganza."
He's also the oldest surviving (former) President of the U.S.!
Or is he?
He was never actually elected, but came on the heels of the Agnew/Nixon resignations. So, he was a Prez, but a kind of a third-choice Prez who was appointed fair and square, with out the population of the 'world's greatest democracy' getting a chance to say what they thought about this, one way or another. Isn't freedom great?!
