Upon my return to the USA I posted a request for a presidential pardon to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Every day I check the mail for a response. Nothing has arrived yet and I'm getting a bad feeling that the Bush Administration might not have deemed my application valid, since I have never been convicted of any crime in the USA. This pardon was more for a rainy day. Say when I tried to overthrow the government or bamboozle the American people out of billions of dollars, although judging from the reason bail-outs embezzlers are rewarded instead of punished. My apprehension about not being granted a 'get out of jail free' card heightened with the announcement that the President has pardoned 14 individuals, who have to be smiling since under the Constitution, the president's power to issue pardons is absolute and cannot be overruled.
Men guilty of drug charges, tax evasion, embezzlement, theft of government property and food stamps, plus the purposeful poisoning of an American Eagle.
Bush pardoned none of the prisoners on Death Row during his governorship in Texas.
155 in all and mocked the plea of one woman in front of the cameras
"Please don't kill me."
Stingy then and stingy now.
Where's my goddamn pardon?
