True enough. I was wondering if Bush had pre-pardoned Rummy and Rove and crew, at which point "motherfucker" and other expletives would have entered my own descriptors indefinitely, when I came across this on Wikipedia's list of pardoned people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_pardoned_by_George_W._Bush):
# Delano Abraham Nixon (Forging the endorsement on a U.S. Treasury check)[8]

Well, with a name like that, no wonder he felt he had a right to mess with treasury notes. He's a veritable list of dead presidents, himself!

Even so, I do not understand the idea of pardoning anyone for something before they've been charged. I know Gerald Ford did it for Nixon, and recall that it was considered illegal but for some reason it was let slide.

I still think Bush should be tried as a criminal. Like your logo, I would like to see him given a fair trial. After a week at Guantanamo... but that just makes me petty.
