Well, well, well—every once in a blue moon, something happens in Washington that reminds me the Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways.

Ending the Abuse: Why It’s Time to Abolish the Presidential Pardon
The final moments of any presidency often reveal more about the character of the departing leader than years of speeches or photo ops ever could.
