Our last day in Bushland.

While I'm not convinced that Obama is the savior so many are hoping he is, it is nice to see Bush leave the world stage, if only so we don't have to listen to his tortured speech patterns anymore.

Yet, I'm left wondering; he's got about 23 hours left in his presidency and there still haven't been any major pardons. Now, we all know to what lengths their legal teams can twist and subvert and manipulate the laws. Are they, perhaps, putting on the final touches to blanket pardons of Rumsfeld, Cheney, Gonzales, et al? I mean, pardons are for people convicted or at least charged with a crime. However, it's not out of the realm of possiblity that the Bush administration is developing some sort of super pardon and will announce it at, oh, around midnight tonight.

My fevered imagination at work. What has probably already happened is that Bush and Obama have reached a gentleman's agreement to not have any prosecutions.

Whatever the case, Goodbye Mr. Bush and don't let they door hit you on the ass on your way out.
