Booze, guns, coke, pot and moonshine. (Moonshine! Good lord.) These are the pardons our president hands out.

Welcome to Hillbilly Nation, folks!

(I should point out that these aren't the only pardons that were handed out at this particular time. Bush also seemed keen to pardon a few people that were AWOL, and an embezzler or two. Hmm.)
(Didn't get a lot of sleep, but we had a lot of fun on grandma's cross-post...)
