This week's prize for egregious time (and therefore money) wasting goes to Charlie Crist, the outgoing governor of Florida, who, having set up a special committee on the matter, has secured a pardon for Jim Morrison, singer of The Doors. Morrison faced charges of desecrating public morals and profanity while drunk but died in 1971, nearly 40 years ago, having jumped bail.
The apology should be due to his fans who bought his records, impressed by his independent lifestyle. They now realise he wasn't even guilty of desecrating public morals (don't you love that phrase?).
They should have their money back.
