Yesterday, President Bush commuted Scooter Libby’s 30-month prison term for his wrongful conviction into zero time in the slammer. While it isn’t a pardon, it will allow Libby to get on with his life outside public service. I’m sure he will have no problem securing gainful employment from a private firm.
Meanwhile, the Democrats’ disposition to Bush’s executive clemency was entirely predictable: rage and anger which stems yet again from the Florida 2000 result. They’ve never been able to get over it, and they never will. Watch for Congressional investigations to ensue, which will be wasteful in terms of both time and Taxpayer expense.

Now here’s an amazing development: a drug which helps patients forget bad memories. This could definitely benefit those who have gone though absolute traumas, such as rape victims.
I’m sure someone down the road will ask me: “Wouldn’t you like to get rid of bad memories?” This would actually remind me of Sybok, the character played by Laurence Luckinbill in Star Trek V (usually considered to be one of the worst of the franchise films), who could remove a person’s secret pain. No, I would rather keep mine, because (for better or for worse), they are a part of Who I Am.
