Yeah, but do they have chutney squishees?

7-Eleven made over as a Kwik-E-Mart (this one is in Burbank)

Several of the stores are getting makeovers as a tie-in with The Simpsons movie coming out later this month. Sadly, the closest one to me is in Bladensburg, and I am not driving 50 miles to the wilds of Maryland just to get a squishee and a Radioactive Man comic book at Kwik-E-Mart. Maybe though for a squishee, the comic book, and a pink donut. Mmmm...forbidden donut.

As jmhm points out, George Bush then:

I don't believe my role is to replace the verdict of a jury with my own, unless there are new facts or evidence of which a jury was unaware, or evidence that the trial was somehow unfair. [from A Charge to Keep: My Journey to the White House]

and George Bush now:

I respect the jury's verdict. But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive. Therefore, I am commuting the portion of Mr. Libby's sentence that required him to spend 30 months in prison. [Statement by the President On Executive Clemency for Lewis Libby]

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise. Or something.

[Edit:] The New York Times July 3 editorial piece ("Soft on Crime") concludes with this bit, which I think was probably the first thing lots of us thought:

Presidents have the power to grant clemency and pardons. But in this case, Mr. Bush did not sound like a leader making tough decisions about justice. He sounded like a man worried about what a former loyalist might say when actually staring into a prison cell.
