Tonight is one of the many nights we should all be thankful for the freedoms we have as Americans, and remember those who are unable to be with their families because they are out defending ours.
And while we are being thankful and generous, so is our president. He's issued 11 presidential pardons. Among them are three moonshiners, a bank robber and a lawyer. Moonshiners, ok. Bank robber? Maybe. Lawyer? Now that's carrying the Christmas spirit a bit too far.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukah everyone.
