The people of New Mexico must be proud that their government doesn't have anything better to do than start a media circus over pardoning somebody who's been dead for 130 years.

Time has a way of romancing criminals.Personally-I gotta hard on for Bonnie and Clyde.I named my son Edward Clyde Merchant. The Outlaw mystic. I also have a fasination with Manson and the Girls. But do I think they should be pardoned for their crimes? NO. I am also fasinated by horror films and stories-the extreme in life and art draws me-I dunno-but Billy the Kid was a serial killer-long before the term was coined. F%ck em. Killers shoudnt-ahhh....Ive already stuck my foot in my mouth.....I named my kid after Clyde Barrow.  :lookingup:

Well I guess they had to have something to do... 

Actually though, in terms of time, 130 years really isn't that long ago, considering that things like ending to The Civil War was at it's 110 year mark in 1975.  Wounded Knee massacre was 120 years ago in 1890.   It's a nice reminder that we're still a pretty young nation.

I remember  a few years ago when they dug up Zachary Taylor to see if someone had spiked his 1850 4th of July treat of cherries and milk with arsenic.

Turns out nope: he died because he was eating cherries and milk on on the 4th of July in the year 1850. I'm guessing his stomach exploded, just like Mr. Creosote in THE MEANING OF LIFE.

It's possible that the milk might have been poison too?

Milk didn't keep very well back in those days as a lack of proper refrigeration, and might have went bad on him, leading to food poisoning.

Yep, that's what they figured. Drinking a pitcher of warm milk on a hot July day in 1850 (on top of a bunch of cherries) was probably not a wise presidential decision.

Still, better than choosing Dan Quayle as your running mate.
