Sounds like a crappy "pardon" to me. Sounds more like parole.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

In Sunday's Washington Post feature story about Kennedy Center honoree Merle Haggard, the country legend said that his 1972 pardon from then-California Governor Ronald Reagan was the greatest award he'd ever received.
Then he shared an interesting story.
“The second best award was [when] Arnold Schwarzenegger gave me a second pardon,” Haggard says, something he hasn’t spoken publicly about until now.
According to Haggard, in 2006, two hunters walked onto his California ranch, firing shots toward his house. His wife Theresa grabbed a gun and returned a warning blast into the air. The hunters fled, called the police and Theresa was arrested.
Despite Reagan’s pardon, Haggard’s criminal history didn’t allow him to own a gun.

Willie Nelson must be pissed. He just got busted for pot - AGAIN.
How is it that a pardon does not restore a person’s Constitutional rights (which IMHO should only be “interrupted” during a period of incarceration)?
Pardon Willie, Now!
Theresa fired the gun......Ya, right.
My friends mom is Merle Haggard’s weed dealer.
Seriously.

1. Shame on her. 2. She must be pretty dumb if she talks about it to blabbermouths like you.
Seriously.
A brush with greatness...
