Last Sunday I said the President’s pardon of Hunter Biden would give “America something to argue over other than college football upsets and positions in the 12-team playoff.”

The pardon and college football playoff have dominated conversations this week. The Clemson narrow upset of SMU knocked out Alabama. The Big 12 feels jilted because only one team, Arizona State, got in while the Big 10 has four. The first round will be played Dec. 20-21.

In addition to the playoffs, there are 35 other Bowl games. Wow. Old-timers will remember when there were only a half dozen Bowl games. And the smallest was probably the Tangerine Bowl.

Now these Bowls have names including Duke’s mayonnaise, Scooter’s coffee, Idaho potatoes, Cheez-its, and Pop-Tarts. (Those will be hard on my diet. I would prefer an Omaha Steaks Bowl.) Others are sponsored by a Mortgage (with a Guaranteed Rate?), Snoop Dogg, Gronk, and Tony the Tiger. I guess we’ll have to watch the games to find out what Radiance, Isleta, Wasabi, Reliaquest, and Transperfect represent. One Bowl is sponsored by… Bowling.

President Biden pardoned Hunter for any and all crimes committed since 2014 and into the future. It also has the effect of protecting the entire Biden family from prosecution for any financial deals since Joe became Vice-President in 2009.

Democrats are hinting that President Biden might “pre-pardon” several top Democrats that President Trump might decide to prosecute for made-up charges connected to impeachments, the 2020 election, and January 6 trials. Names mentioned include Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, and Dr. Fauci.

One person NOT mentioned is VP Kamala Harris. I think Biden might pardon her, but he will never excuse her for wasting $1,500,000,000.
