Good news for your high school self that really got The Doors: Florida Gov. Charlie Crist might pardon Jim Morrison for a 1969 indecent exposure charge.
The pardon would wipe the misdemeanor offense off of Morrison’s criminal record, transforming him from a dangerous rock legend into some hippie who sang poetry with an organ player.
Awesome, right?
There are certain traditions every U.S. president must observe.
Every year, they have to pardon a turkey from Thanksgiving, while everyone the turkey loves gets a duck and a chicken stuffed inside of them.
They have to give a State of the Union Address, even though they are only constiutionally required to write it down. (Kinda like people who read their blogs to you.)
They have to pardon Richard Nixon at the end of their term. (Gerald Ford started that one.)
And, of course, they have to restart Mideast peace talks.
