NOW HE CAN VOTE AND OWN FIREARMS: Forty-one after he was arrested (and later convicted) in Miami of indecent exposure, public use of profanity, and public drunkenness -- a trifecta that in Miami is known today as "brunch" -- The Doors' Jim Morrison has been pardoned. Not that Morrison, who has been dead longer than most of us here have been alive, really cares, but it's about time somebody did something for the man who gifted us a world in which Val Kilmer demands to be taken seriously as an actor.

    Worth mentioning that current conventional wisdom is that Morrison didn't actually expose himself, though he threatened that he would.  That's the principal basis on which Crist supported the pardon.
