Dead Door, Posthumous Pardon

Today, I read that outgoing Florida governor Charlie Crist has decided to push for a pardon for...wait...Jim Morrison (who died in 1971) for something that happened in...wait...1969. And that something was lewd and lascivious behavior that took place at a performance, rather than some benificient but misunderstood act for which he had been long castigated.

It's events such as this, when politicians stray from things political, that get me going. Now, if Charlie Crist was instead working to ensure that ballot machines in Florida functioned properly, and that the election commissions and poll workers were fully functioning and well trained, now that would be a real news story.
