How Bush can get back the base (or at least keep them from leaving for good)

It's so simple I didn't even think of it before: pardon Scooter Libby. Why he hasn't done it already is a mystery to me. To be honest, much as I loathe the administration, I wouldn't be too broken up if Libby got pardoned, since it is obvious that he wasn't the mastermind behind the whole Plame affair. I'm not so angry at Bush Administration that I've forgotten who the proper targets for this anger are.

Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
