Playing for Four Teams in One Year
Posted by Raphy on January 22, 2008
Whenever there is a trade rumor about a player, the media is always quick to ask if the talks bother him. Certainly, when a player is traded more than once, the questions arise if he feels unwanted. What then, would you ask a player who played on four different teams in the same season? It seems almost painful to imagine. Yet, there are ten players since 1901 to have accomplished this dubious feat.
Four years ago, Jose Bautista had a whirlwind of a season. Having played his entire career in the Pirates organization, Bautista was selected by the Orioles as the sixth pick (and fifth Pirate) of the 2003 Rule 5 draft. Bautista played in 16 games for the Orioles, who then put him on waivers. Tampa Bay took him off waivers, let him play another 12 games and then sold him to the Royals. A month later the Royals traded him to the Mets, who immediately traded him to Pittsburgh, where it had all started. Bautista never played from the Mets, so he only played for four teams. Nevertheless, he still became the only player ever to play for four teams in his first big-league season. Fortunately for Bautista, his career has stabilized and he is still on the Pirates today.
Here is the complete list of players since 1901 to have played for 4 teams in one year.
|Jose Bautista
|Dan Miceli
|Dave Martinez
|Dave Kingman
|Mike Kilkenny
|Wes Covington
|Ted Gray
|Paul Lehner
|Willis Hudlin

How did you come up with the list, Raphy?

Basically I did 24 quick searches.
If you go to the "Batting Season Finder" page, there is an option to sort for "Franchises Played For". Unfortunately, this sort only works for the career/multiple season option and not the single season one. However, even if you select the career option, you can limit the search to a single season by choosing the season number of a player's career (for example "First to First"). Then all you have to do is 24 separate searches, one for each career season and you have your list. If you use multiple windows for concurrent searches, this doesn't take as long as it sounds.
If anyone knows of an easier way, please let me know.

Dave Kingman managed to cover all four divisions in his nomadic year (Mets, Padres, Angels, Yankees)

I always think of Kingman as a Cub, and was surprised to see he played less than 18% of his games for them. Every time I see his name I'm reminded of the famous Tommy Lasorda rant from 1978 after Dave beat the Dodgers with three dingers:
Uncensored transcript of Tommy Lasorda's infamous response to reporter Paul Olden's seemingly innocuous question, "What's your opinion of Kingman's performance?"
"What's my opinion of Kingman's performance? What the fuck do you think is my opinion of it? I think it was fucking horseshit! Put that in, I don't fucking—opinion of his performance? Jesus Christ, he beat us with three fucking home runs! What the fuck do you mean what is my opinion of his performance? How can you ask me a question like that, what is my opinion of his performance? Jesus Christ, he hit three home runs! Jesus Christ! I'm fucking pissed off to lose the fucking game, and you ask me my opinion of his performance? Jesus Christ! That's a tough question to ask me, isn't it? What is my opinion of his performance?...Well, I didn't give you a good answer because I'm mad, but I mean, that's a tough question to ask me right now, what is my opinion of his performance? I mean, you want me to tell you what my opinion of his performance is....That's right! Jesus Christ! Guy hits three home runs against us. Shit, I mean I don't want to, I don't mean to get pissed off or anything like that but, you know, you ask me my opinion. I mean, he put on a hell of a show, he hit three home runs, he drove in, what, seven runs?...Eight runs! So what the hell more can you say about it? I didn't mean to get mad or anything like that but god damn, you ask me my opinion of his performance."

Here's the boxscore for #4 above. Two out, two run HR in the ninth to tie & a 3 run shot in the 15th had Tommy's Dodger Blue blood boiling!

PLEASE BE ADVISED: this is uncensored and NSFW.
I'd prefer not to see profanity in print on the site here, though I'll give Mike a pass since he certainly wasn't cursing at any other reader.

Sorry Andy. I will respect your wishes in the future. Thanks for the link.

No worries, Mike. I am particularly sensitive to readers calling each other names or using profanity directed at each other--obviously what you wrote was in a very different spirit. (And, Sean would have the actual say on such matters...)
kingturtle Says:
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:12 pm
I remember Kingman doing this. I believe he's the only one to hit a dinger for each of the four teams...in fact, he hit at least two dingers for each team.
Along the same lines but different, did you know that Valmy Thomas played for five different home cities in his five year career? The New York Giants (1957), the San Francisco Giants (1958), the Philadelphia Phillies (1959), the Baltimore Orioles (1960), and the Cleveland Indians (1961). I don't know if there's any value to it, but I bet he's the only one to do that 🙂
Raphy Says:
January 22nd, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Kingturtle, I don't know if he's the only one to do it and retire, but there have been 72 players who have played on 5 or more teams in the first 5 years of their career. http://www.bb-ref.com/pi/shareit/N9AE
Valmy isn't even included because he played for only 4 franchises.

Dick Littlefield played on 9 franchises in his 9 year career.
Raphy Says:
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Please not that these lists only include batters. Pitchers who didn't bat are not included. I don't think that there is a "Franchises played for" option in the pitching PI.
David in Toledo Says:
January 23rd, 2008 at 1:14 pm
I may be reading his page wrong, but it looks to me as if Littlefield played on 10 franchises in 9 years.
Raphy Says:
January 23rd, 2008 at 1:26 pm
David, you are correct. However, since there is no franchise count in the Pitching Season PI, it only counts franchises that he batted for. In 1958 Littlefield pitched for Milwaukee without coming to the plate. Therefore PI only had him with 9 franchises. The true count is 10.
BunnyWrangler Says:
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:31 pm
I'm only counting 9. Does his moving from St. Louis to Baltimore with the Browns/Orioles count as playing for two franchises?
Raphy Says:
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:53 pm
BunnyWrangler- you're right and I'm wrong.
PI does include his Milwaukee stint in the total.(Franchises are listed at the end of the line)
Nice catch.

Volvo has confirmed that a car equipped with its new traffic jam assistance system will go on sale in 2014. The system allows the car to automatically follow the vehicle in front at speeds of up to 50kmh (31mph).
Volvo calls it the traffic jam assistance function. Activated by pressing a button in the car, the system controls the car's steering, brakes and engine. The firm hopes this will help reduce low-speed accidents caused by drivers not paying enough attention in slow-moving traffic.
The traffic jam assistance is an evolution of the current Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Aid technology, which was introduced on the Volvo V40.
"The car follows the vehicle in front in the same lane. However, it is always the driver who is in charge. He or she can take back control of the car at any time," says Peter Mertens, Senior Vice President Research and Development of Volvo Cars.
At present, the system only works at slow speeds, but a Volvo spokesman confirmed that as customers get used to the autonomous driving system, the speed that the assistance works at could be increased.
This ties in with Volvo's SARTRE project (Safe Road Trains for the Environment), which allows cars to follow each other automatically on the motorway at speeds of up to 56mph.
The traffic jam assistance system will be introduced as part of Volvo's new Scalable Product Architecture, SPA, which will be introduced in 2014.
The first car to use the new tech and platform is likely to be the XC90 replacement, although any current Volvo, except the C70 and existing XC90, features the sensors required to allow the traffic jam assistance technology to work.

I would give this 3 and a half stars. This was quite nice but I felt it lacked something in the flavour. The cake mixture was very dry when I was making it, I added the butter and milk but there wasn't enough liquid to combine the ingredients so I had to add extra milk. I cooked it for 35 minutes which was fine. There wasn't much sauce and it was quite thick and difficult to serve. I liked that the top was crispy due to the sugar. This was nice with ice-cream.
Delicious and perfect comfort food! Although I think this would be wonderful with ice cream we served this warm with cool whip for a fun chocoloaty dessert! As this dessert uses ingredients we usually always have on hand and is a snap to put together this will become one of our regular stand-bys. Thanks for sharing!
This is wonderful! The batter is nice and thick and takes a bit to spread through the pan. But after you put all the sugar on top and then add the water, the result is magical! It becomes crunchy on top and like a volcano of chocolate underneath. Fabulous with ice cream!! And it went together quickly and easily. Yum!

Clifton Shores in Cape Town
Jaw-droppingly beautiful, always camera-ready and charismatic… if ever a city was born to be the star of a reality television series, it would be Cape Town.
Sharing the small screen with four American women who have left the comfort of the United States to work, live and play in our hometown, the Mother City makes her turn on television as the location for the hit new series, Clifton Shores.
Endless sunshine, sexy suitors, white, sandy beaches and non-stop partying at some of Cape Town's biggest events, including the 2012 J&B Met, are just some of the highlights along with plenty of drama for Clifton Shores' leading ladies Destiny, Katy, Kathy and Jamillette in the 13-episode unscripted show.
Directed by Hisham Abed of The Hills and Laguna Beach fame and produced by local coalmining magnate Quinton van der Burgh, Clifton Shores is so named for the fabulous mansion on Clifton Beach that the girls live in during their stay. The gorgeous foursome has to prove that they have what it takes to survive in the world of networking and party hosting.
The Mother City is, of course, no stranger to filmmaking. From Safe House to Dark Tide and Invictus to Mad Max 4, cinematographers have been fans of her vistas for many years.
Clifton Shores airs every Tuesday on South African satellite station DStv's Vuzu channel at 21h00 .Check out the promo video of Clifton Shores below:

HOUSTON (AP) - Suspected serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz, formally charged Friday with the capital murder slaying of a Houston-area physician, will undergo a court-ordered psychological exam to determine if he is sane enough to stand trial on St. Valentine's Day.
The rail-riding drifter who surrendered to a Texas Ranger July 13 is suspected in six Texas killings, two in Illinois and another in Kentucky. He's charged with five of the murders so far, including this week's indictment in the Dec. 17, 1998, death of Dr. Claudia Benton.
Until now, a burglary charge in connection with Benton's murder was the only hold authorities had to keep the 39-year-old behind bars in Houston. This week's capital murder indictment, however, rolls into a single charge the burglary of her home, her aggravated sexual assault and the theft of her car.
In Texas, a charge of capital murder can only be used if the victim's death occurred during the commission of another felony.
At Friday's arraignment, the defendant, dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit, handcuffed and sporting a dazed look, listened silently as a translator relayed in Spanish the five-minute proceeding.
State District Judge Bill Harmon informed him of the new charge, which can carry a death sentence upon conviction, granted prosecutor Devon Anderson's request for a psychological evaluation of the defendant and set Maturino Resendiz's trial for Feb. 14.
The exam is expected to be conducted sometime within the next four weeks. Defense attorney Allen Tanner entered a plea of innocent on his client's behalf.
Although Maturino Resendiz understands and speaks English well, prosecutors do not want to risk him using the lack of access to a Spanish translation as an appeal issue.
Anderson said she has no doubt the man accused of murdering Benton is sane.
"The standard is knowing the difference between right and wrong," she said. "What we have is a man who eluded authorities for months, which seems to me that kind of indicates that he knew what he had done was wrong and he was trying to hide from police."
She also dismissed accusations from Maturino Resendiz's family that he had been tricked into surrendering and indicated it would not affect her case. One of Maturino Resendiz's brothers complained the death penalty never was discussed during negotiations with authorities that resulted in the surrender.
"It doesn't have anything to do with whether he raped and murdered Dr. Benton, whether he turned himself in or not," she said.
Tanner commented on little relating to his client's case after the proceeding.

Skip to comments.Obama has now broken free of the Constitution
Posted on 07/03/2012 8:15:21 PM PDT by Innovative
Chief Justice John Roberts recently struck another blow against limited government by creating a new, unrestrained power to use taxes to compel activity (even if the proponents of the tax insist vehemently that it is not a tax!).
There's something tragic about a decision that says federal powers are practically unlimited, checked only by public opinion and the political process. There should be a large and healthy sphere of American life that is insulated and protected from political negotiation. But we cannot dwell on that tragedy. We have no recourse left but to engage and win in the political process.
Barack Obama, a man long intent on breaking free from the Constitution's essential constraints, has succeeded in doing so. With those constraints broken Obama is certain to pursue the "redistribution of wealth and more basic issues of political and economic justice." That means massive tax hikes, intrusive regulations, and pervasive government control of our lives.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
There could easily be four vacancies in the next four years.
Breyer, Ginsburg, Kennedy, and Scalia are all at least 75 years old.
If there's good news there, it's that 3 of the 4 likely retirees are liberal. The bad news is that Obama will appoint new young liberals if he gets the chance to do so.
But, the big ? is, will Romney appoint strong conservatives to the Supreme Court? Or will he give us Souter/Stevens types, who we think are conservative, then go liberal on us?
I hate to say, would he appoint a John Roberts, who appeared to be a safe conservative, only to see such an appointee go liberal on us in a crucial case???
Alito, Thomas, and Scalia appear to have been faithful to conservative constitutional principles during their time on the court. These are the justices who should be the benchmark if Romney gets to be president and appoint justices.
Tell ya what...
Let's hold off paying taxes until "they" decide if it's a "tax" or a "penalty", okay?
It is also important to realize that a Supreme Court in an age brainwashed by three generations of leftists won't save us from Progressive ruin. We must mobilize and capture not only a conservative congress but local school boards and a media of our own.
We are helpless if only a court decision can save us.
The elephant in the room is no longer Obama and it's not Roberts. It's the ones we elected to control the House. They are witnessing all that we are witnessing.
This is a game of political 3 card monte. And we're the suckers if we continue to play it.
With any luck Obama will get his walking papers in November and Romney, as much as I distrust him, will, I think, at least treat the Constitution with some respect.
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?
Sort of like how we worried about Bush having so much power after 911. We weren't as worried about Bush having it but worried about the person (such as Hillary)who replaced him inheriting it.
"Lets hold off paying taxes until they decide if its a tax or a penalty, okay?"
Now there's a direction worth considering.....if I was making any money to pay taxes on
That is my greatest fear. What is left of liberty would die and we would never recover... not ever.
—"If you don't like this SCOTUS, just consider Obama appointing more Judges to the Supreme Court in the next four years..."
Right on...
The Justice Roberts fiasco is yet another reason for Freepers — who won't let themselves vote for Romney — to realize that allowing Obutthole to win is sheer foolishness given that several Supreme Court appointments likely to occur in the next 4 years.
The prospects of another Obama term and his potential to screw up the SC is downright scary.
(Well, we know a RINO BUSH appointed Roberts, but GWB wouldn't have chosen Roberts if he knew this is the way Roberts would have voted on Obamacare).
We have to seriously ask ourselves which appointees would you prefer: Romney SC appointees or Obeyme appointees?
If you REALLY think Romney appointees would be essentially the same as Obeyme's appointees, then go ahead and vote for President Narcissus Obeyme if it makes you feel good.
After all, not voting for the non-Obama candidate is throwing away one more potential anti-Obama vote, so one might as well vote FOR Obama if one insists on being that stubborn.
I, myself, can NEVER bring myself to vote for Obama (or not use my vote to vote AGAINST the MF'er).
This is not rocket science, folks...
Chief Justice John Roberts recently struck another blow against limited government by creating a new, unrestrained power to use taxes to compel activity (even if the proponents of the tax insist vehemently that it is not a tax!).
There *is* something we can do about that. A *constitutional amendment* may be necessary to abolish this SCOTUS newly endorsed penalty tax. It should also prohibit the Congress from using any penalty tax to coerce any activity or non-activity. It may even be necessary to more clearly define the original constitutional limits on the taxing powers of Congress.
Conservatives definitely think that this penalty tax is an assault on freedom. And I think liberals will be scared of it too when they no longer control the Senate and White House in 2013 (I hope!). I wouldnt worry too much about inaction by weak-kneed Boehner and Mitchell. With a new Republican president and a bunch of new Tea Party senators and representatives, they *will* work on passing this amendment. Or, if necessary, a majority of states can call for a constitutional convention to pass this amendment. Thats another reason to cast your vote for conservatives this November and every other election all the way up and down the ticket from your local dog catcher to president.
It might also be a good time to fix some other supposed vagueness in the US Constitution, like:
the right of the *people* to keep and bear arms, as well as a well regulated Militia;
abolishing the idea of anchor babies. Only children born of legal US citizens can automatically be granted US citizenship;
to qualify for the office of president, the person must have both parents be US citizens.
Here is an idea, why don't you spend some of that effort getting Romney to withdraw and let a real conservative run?
I predicted when we had nine candidates, that none of the nine debating would ever be President, and I stand by that.
"This is an inflection point in American history. Forward to unchecked federal control or back to meaningful constitutional protections for individual freedom. Are you doing everything you can to help America make the right choice?"
I'm afraid the author has still not grasp the scope of the Roberts disastrous treachery. Yes this is a turning point in American history, but with regard to the nature of Robert's treachery there is no way to go back to meaningful Constitutional protections. Roberts has cut that off with the only remaining enforcer being our States thou nullification & interposition.
From the Federal Government's point of view John Robert's has most effectively killed the Federal Constitution. That is why winning the 2012 Federal election doesn't really matter as far as the Federal constitution goes. Indeed just holding on to what little is left of our reserved rights is premised(in Robert's world) upon the utterly impossible task of winning every last federal election from now onto forever.
Even amending the Federal Constitution cannot be said to have any effect owing to the Robert's court creative powers to find ways to justify the power grabs of their appointing Government.
Our only real options all remain in the domain of what the same federal court would regard as a revolutionary if were lucky. Freedom is basically dead at this point.
Under the Original Constitution, Direct taxes are defines as taxes by the Federal government DIRECTLY upon the citizen and they are prohibited without apportionment among the states.
The 16th amendment relieves the Federal government of that apportionment requirement but ONLY for income taxes.
AS Obamacare's individual mandate is not taxing income but rather inaction, and it is directly imposed by Washington upon the people. Then the Constitutional text would at least require it to be apportions among the States.
John like his liberal buddies doesn't care about the Text of any Federal Constitution or law of any kind, they just rewrite it to fit his needs. No amendment to that Constitution is going be anything but Text. As long as its up to Federal employees to enforce and "interpret" that text it will only have the force and meaning they want it to have. This is of course to effectively unbound them, The guards are hand picked by the Prisoners who thus now run the prison, and it is we the people who are left subject to their boundless whims.
If we are to preserve and restore our rights we will require nothing short of a revolutionary change disarming and replacing the "Federal" government.
Now Roberts has given him infinite range.
Gee. A revolution in a court room.
Just how did Roberts become a socialist overnight? Or was he acting all these years?

Indeed just holding on to what little is left of our reserved rights is premised(in Roberts world) upon the utterly impossible task of winning every last federal election from now onto forever.
Even amending the Federal Constitution cannot be said to have any effect owing to the Roberts court creative powers to find ways to justify the power grabs of their appointing Government.
Our only real options all remain in the domain of what the same federal court would regard as a revolutionary if were lucky. Freedom is basically dead at this point...
...John like his liberal buddies doesnt care about the Text of any Federal Constitution or law of any kind, they just rewrite it to fit his needs. No amendment to that Constitution is going be anything but Text. As long as its up to Federal employees to enforce and interpret that text it will only have the force and meaning they want it to have. This is of course to effectively unbound them, The guards are hand picked by the Prisoners who thus now run the prison, and it is we the people who are left subject to their boundless whims...
But your fears that Roberts and the other liberal Justices will continue to defy the Constitution against their sworn oath can be remedied by impeachment.
Impeachement takes balls which no one has
To MALTA of all places.
Relevant Excerpts:
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation.
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
"We are helpless if only a court decision can save us."
Absolutely right on the mark.
One wonders where Progressives get the stones to behave the way they do;
They have no regard for differing points of view, their willingness to use violence by proxy to get their point of view across is astounding, they enforce laws selectively when they get elected to public office, they judge others with opposing points of view as knuckle-dragging morons, their open and blatant desire to eliminate any reference to G-d in public is breathtaking and their particular hatred for G-d's Son is spectacular.
Absolutely amazing.
The Supreme Court is irrelevant now. Was always so, no we are sure.
That's what I say. No more payroll tax deductions until this is repealed.
"Even amending the Federal Constitution cannot be said to have any effect owing to the Roberts court creative powers to find ways to justify the power grabs of their appointing Government."
I disagree, however the option is a dangerous one, but should 3/4 of the States call a Convention, they could REMOVE ANYONE they wish and change, abolish, or define anything they wanted to, the problem is with the Leftist States, but there are not enough of them to matter if it was organized properly. But I believe it would be easier for the STATES to CALL FOR REPEAL of THE 16th AMENDMENT, Bypassing CONGRESS and the Administration, this would eliminate most of our problems overnight, and 17 while we are at it.
We have two options beyond engaging and winning in the political process. One is slavery, and the other is uglier than anything has seen since 1865. Of the three alternatives, submission to slavery at the hands of socialists is neither my first choice nor my second choice. We have to win in November for the good of America.
Here are some words from that generation on the importance of "the People" and the States:
"I do not think it for the interest of the General Government itself, and still less of the Union at large, that the State governments should be so little respected as they have been. However, I dare say that in time all these as well as their central government, like the planets revolving round their common sun, acting and acted upon according to their respective weights and distances, will produce that beautiful equilibrium on which our Constitution is founded, and which I believe it will exhibit to the world in a degree of perfection, unexampled but in the planetary system itself. The enlightened statesman, therefore, will endeavor to preserve the weight and influence of every part, as too much given any member of it would destroy the general equilibrium." --Thomas Jefferson to Peregrine Fitzhugh, 1798. ME 10:3
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." --Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:278
"If Caesar had been as virtuous as he was daring and sagacious, what could he, even in the plenitude of his usurped power, have done to lead his fellow citizens into good government?... If their people indeed had been, like ourselves, enlightened, peaceable, and really free, the answer would be obvious. 'Restore independence to all your foreign conquests, relieve Italy from the government of the rabble of Rome, consult it as a nation entitled to self-government, and do its will.' But steeped in corruption, vice and venality, as the whole nation was,... what could even Cicero, Cato, Brutus have done, had it been referred to them to establish a good government for their country?... No government can continue good but under the control of the people; and their people were so demoralized and depraved as to be incapable of exercising a wholesome control. Their reformation then was to be taken up ab incunabulis. Their minds were to be informed by education what is right and what wrong; to be encouraged in habits of virtue and deterred from those of vice by the dread of punishments proportioned, indeed, but irremissible; in all cases, to follow truth as the only safe guide, and to eschew error, which bewilders us in one false consequence after another in endless succession. These are the inculcations necessary to render the people a sure basis for the structure of order and good government. . . . --Thomas Jefferson to John Adams, 1819. ME 15:233
"An enlightened people, and an energetic public opinion... will control and enchain the aristocratic spirit of the government." --Thomas Jefferson to Chevalier de Ouis, 1814. ME 14:130
"I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power." --Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820.
"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe, their minds must be improved to a certain degree." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782.
"Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787.
"Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government." --Thomas Jefferson to Richard Price, 1789.
"Whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, the people, if well informed, may be relied on to set them to rights." --Thomas Jefferson to Richard Price, 1789.
From James Madison:
"Although all men are born free, and all nations might be so, yet too true it is, that slavery has been the general lot of the human race. Ignorant they have been cheated; asleep they have been surprised; divided the yoke has been forced upon them. But what is the lesson?... The people ought to be enlightened, to be awakened, to be united, that after establishing a government they should watch over it."
"A well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people."
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
"To suppose that any form of government will secure liberty or happiness without any virtue in the people, is a chimerical idea."
"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court even can do much to help it." - Judge Learned Hand
Then, there is Lincoln:
"I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal. Nor is there in this view any assault upon the court or the judges. It is a duty from which they may not shrink to decide cases properly brought before them, and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes." - Abraham Lincoln
A comment in reply to that idea came from Houston talk show host, Michael Berry who suggested a constitutional amendment to change the life long appointment to SCOTUS to a limited term of 18 years with two judges revolving off the court every four years similar to the way the senate turns over. That way the people would be much more influential in the judges sitting on the court because every president would get the same amount of appointees every four years.
Your probably right on that, the 16th however is inconsequential compared to the 17th.
It is by means of the 17th that federal power loving injustices are so regularly appointed. Among many other sources of Federal usurpation including all bills, and treaties.
Impeachment by whome? That's why the same federal officers who enjoy the same usurped federal authority theses Federal employees "upheld" for them.
I think the power & practice of impeachment is much more likely to backfire against Constitutional law than to reinforce it. That is why it has almost never been used.
-—"Here is an idea, why don't you spend some of that effort getting Romney to withdraw and let a real conservative run?"
Sure, I would much prefer Herman Cain or Alan West to Milch Romney, but unlike you, I think I am more realistic in this stage of the game. IMO, at this point, you're being a dreamer. Romney withdrawing is just not going to happen, so we have to chip away at this socialist mindset slowly.
I live in the pathetic state of California. Using Calif as an example, it's a cesspool of liberals. Do you really think a true conservative would even stand a chance of being elected governor here? Not a chance. Extrapolate that to the country as a whole.
Because I'm a realist and you seem to not be one based on your dreamy suggestion, I think I understand the political dynamic in our nation more clearly to know that the country has gone SO FAR LEFT that the masses will NOT vote for our ideal conservative candidate at this juncture in history. A true conservative is truly unelectable in this cesspool of ignorance.
The ONLY WAY we stand a chance is to have a moderate conservative (even a deceitful RINO) elected in 2012 and then hopefully he (and a conservative House & Senate) can gradually re-educate people and change the tone of the country so that a more conservative challenger can challenge in 2016.
I believe this "not voting for the non-Obama candidate because he's a RINO" is actually a naive view in the grand scheme of things because the alternative to a RINO (4 more years of this fascist socialist crap) is sooooo much worse than a feckless RINO in office.
Think about it...
I'm sorry to pop you bubble, but that's the way I see it after seeing my friends and some formerly conservative elderly family members succumb to the socialist brainwashing via the MSM. Dumb/naive people take a long time to see the light and this won't happen overnight.
He is also the CIC.
Great post. Thanks for these very appropriate excerpts.
These quotes remind use that it really is the peoples responsibility to make informed decisions to elect honorable people to office and then to monitor their behavior to make sure they honor their oath of office.
My bubble is not popped, I was pulling your chain a little.
I lived in Palm Springs for 25 years. Moved to a more socialist state with a better climate about a year ago. I am too old to continue this charade of voting for the statist that is better than the other statist. It is a perfectly clear to me that the Fabian Socialists set the agenda and we play along.
You've made a serious, very serious, charge. Link? Source? How do you know that's Roberts in the photo, and not some Italian bigwig?
The original photo is by an A.P. photog. What's in the bag is anybody's guess.
Benedict Roberts is a public figure, and I can make any damn charge I want-—it's a (mostly) free country for a while yet.

aha, the Goddess Kringe.Also a life drawing model..but not so lively.
Can we please not memorialize this crazy loon?
Because the public can never get enough pictures of Kringen's mug, of course.
she also had a show where she had a broken arm, played drums in a shitty band and along with her bandmates yelled at people who called in live to the show.
I was in grade school when I first caught her show on Public Access. Wait a minute... I think she turned me gay!
Shannon is a lovely person with a kind spirit... I always hate to see her disparaged by people with a narrow-minded view of "normal."
thanks raven
Kringen is one of the only women I have ever seen that I would like to sleep with. I have always found her curves to be interesting and thought they would be fun to roll around with.

Malacanang appealed to the Filipino citizenry to pay their taxes properly and on time as the deadline for the filing of income tax returns will be on Monday.
In a press briefing in Malacanang on Thursday, Secretary Ramon Carandang of the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office said the President and Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares have pointed out which segments of the society need to comply with paying the right taxes.
"This is a gentle reminder to all of them who should be paying the proper taxes to please pay your taxes, the proper amount, and file them on time," Carandang said.
"At kung puwede, huwag natin hintayin until the last minute para hindi tayo nagmamadali at hindi tayo naha-hassle. We have several days to go before the deadline so, we urge people to try to beat the rush, and again, to pay the taxes," he said.
Carandang also said that with the reforms being initiated by the Aquino administration, the people's taxes go to the right programs and that their money is being spent wisely.
"So we have no reason, at this point, to try to avoid taxes, and this is our contribution to making our country better," Carandang added. "So please pay your taxes early, pay the proper amount, and rest assured that it's going to the right places," he said.
If the Filipino people really want to effectively eliminate poverty, grow the economy and fight corruption, they should fund it through paying the proper taxes, Carandang said.

Awesome! I made as written except substituted our favorite remoulade sauce recipe. The directions are very straight forward...thank you. We will be making these again soon.
Kim, I picked you for the spring 2006 Pick a Chef event, and started it off with this sandwich. The remoulade sauce really makes this sandwich. It's a rich and wonderful, tart and piquant sauce. I'm sure I will find other uses for it, too. Because it has so much flavor, I found it best to go lightly on the sandwich. The one in the photo has it spread on pretty heavy, and it was almost too rich with the brie, too - and probably the reason it's called RICH Little Po Boy. Great sandwich. Recommended.

Rogue Wave
Zach Rogue may never find the same kind of pull as an Arcade Fire or even a Japandroids, but he's long since emerged as one of indie-rock's more reliable role players. After 2003's Out of the Shadow wound up getting his quintet signed to Sub Pop for 2005's Descended Like Vultures, a trail of understated pop craftsmanship followed. See 2006's elegant strummer "Eyes" and the 2007 almost-hit "Lake Michigan." June's Vagrant debut Nightingale Floors is the band's first LP since 2010's Permalight, and much of it indicates that Rogue has spent the last three years finding ways to get his songwriting on another level — from the backwoods psych-pop of "Figured It Out" to the steadily rolling "Siren's Song" to the Nick Drake hues found in the last moments of closer "Everyone Wants to Be You." 18+.

Jenny and Johnny at the Cedar, 9/12/10
September 12, 2010
The Cedar Cultural Center
Even though she gave up movie work more than a dozen years ago to pursue music in earnest, Jenny Lewis in a sense remains an ambitious actress, her sound and shape shifting with each album. Over the course of four albums with L.A.'s Rilo Kiley, Lewis morphed from a low-impact vocal wallflower that clearly had a lot of Bettie Serveert records in her closet to a full-throated diva capable of convincing Southern gospel. Seriously, listen to her get down on "Silver Lining" from Rilo Kiley's 2007 swan song Under the Black Light and then go back and listen to 2000's Take Offs and Landings -- rarely has a singer sound so transformed. Subsequent solo albums found her indulging in winsome folk-pop (2006's Rabbit Fur Coat) and -- arguably ill advisedly -- rough and tumble roots music (2008's Acid Tongue).
Lewis has shape-shifted yet again for her latest album,I'm Having Fun Now
, ditching the lone-wolf routine and pairing up with boyfriend (and as it just so happens, fellow major label singer/songwriter) Johnathan Rice to form Jenny & Johnny, a collaborative musical outfit as intimate and informal as it's name implies.I'm Having Fun Now
is aptly titled, as it's 11 tracks of heavily harmonized breezy folk-pop and genteel indie-rock cover a scant 35 minutes, with Rice and Lewis swapping lead vocal duties throughout, often times within the same song. The album features Lewis' purest pop melodies since Rilo Kiley's 2004 breakthroughSo Adventurous
in addition to semi-redeeming Rice after two overwrought and indifferently received solo albums.
Sunday night the pair rolled into town to play for a surprisingly packed standing-room only crowd at the Cedar Cultural Center flanked by longtime Lewis drummer Jason Boesel and a guitarist referred to only as Tiko. Wasting little time, the band dived directly into the heart of their lone album, with Lewis rocking the bass and handling harmony vocals for the opening salvo of "Scissor Runner" and "Committed" and Rice's hangdog croon doing his best to carry the load on lead. While there's nothing wrong with Rice's everyman vocals, their facelessness was underscored as soon as Lewis took over lead vocals on "My Pet Snakes."
Whether opting for an intimate conversational delivery or letting it rip, Lewis' lightly twangy voice enthralled. The same pattern followed throughout the rest of the main set, with the energy in the room clearly going up a notch whenever Lewis was center stage - taut New Wave nugget "Big Wave" in particular appeared to have the capacity crowd rapturous. While Rice's sleepy bullfrog harmonies brought little to Lewis' tunes he did seem to find sturdier footing towards the end of the night, his world weary voce more suited to shuffling folk-rock numbers like "Switchblade" and "Animal" than the rock rave-ups he attempted to pull off at the start of the set.
Sheepishly admitting to the crowd that "you caught us at a transitional time, we need to write more songs," the band's main set was just 50 minutes long, with 10 of those minutes eaten up by an extended bluesy work up of Lewis' "The Next Messiah" that went nowhere fast, and then stuck around slow. Things got back on track for the encore, with a rousing impromptu performance of "Carpetbagger" spurned on by a shout of "More songs" from the crowd when it appeared they would be closing out with just one cover tune. The cover came right after of course, an acoustic take on "Love Hurts" whose stripped down arrangement only served to make the disparity between Rice and Lewis' vocal talents all the more apparent.
More a promising project than an actual band at this point in their arc, here's hoping Jenny & Johnny keep having fun - they've got a solid half dozen insidiously catchy songs under their belt in the early going - but also write more songs before they try and get away with a headlining gig in the Cities again.
Critc's bias: Really enjoyed Jenny Lewis' solo debut, 2006's Rabbit Fur Coat, found 2008 follow-up Acid Tongue to be an unfocused and overly bluesy disappointment.
The crowd: All the people too young and well groomed to care that Pavement was playing a reunion show at the same time.
Overheard in the Crowd: "More songs!" (From a fan seemingly irate that Jenny & Johnny appeared ready to wrap up their encore after just two songs and less than an hour on stage total. Ultimately ended up getting them to play an unscheduled impromptu rendition of "Carpetbagger")
Random notebook dump: Rice made an awkward joke about cutting his hair to donate it to penguins affected by the Gulf Coast Oil Spill (and it still looked long!)

The winter 2016 term is winding down with students taking final exams over the next 10 days. And our 2015-16 LL.M. class is preparing for Commencement on Monday, May 16, when they will walk across the stage to the standing ovation from parents and friends, many of whom will travel here from abroad to celebrate this important day in their students' lives.
The faculty at the Law School find Commencement a truly special occasion. We march in through the packed auditorium and enjoy looking out on the glowing and happy faces of students and families. We love hearing the families cheer for their students when their names are called and enjoy even more getting to meet parents in the sprawling reception after the ceremony ends. I always am delighted when a student comes up to me to introduce me to his or her family members. It makes for the perfect end to a celebratory day.
The spring weather is also a welcome change from the grayness and cold of winter. Tulips, daffodils, pear trees and cherries are in full bloom. The redbud tree in my side yard has burst into color, and even the strawberries in my backyard garden are starting to show bloom buds.
That welcome burst of color accompanies a surge of new energy, as the Law School plans for its fall 2016 entering LL.M. class. Admissions decisions are continuing, and merit scholarships will be offered to a select group of students with especially promising resumes.
For many international students, taking classes at an American law school can be a culture shock, as our classroom participatory expectations and legal writing requirements may differ considerably from those at the home institution. Therefore, over the summer, international students will receive instructions from Delores Mayer, our legal writing specialist, who will work with international LL.M. students on core aspects of legal writing, research, note-taking and exam procedures.
All students will be welcome a week before classes begin for the summer orientation program, when new LL.M. students will mingle with new J.D. students and transfers and have an opportunity to participate in various social events and sessions designed to introduce students to key officers and faculty in the Law School.
Congratulations again to our graduating LL.M. students, and I look forward to seeing you at Commencement.

Professor of Law

Rajaratnam's Trades May Run From Stamps to Mackerel Packets
Raj Rajaratnam leaves behind the ruins of a Wall Street career that made him a billionaire hedge fund manager to begin an 11-year prison sentence, the price for running a far-flung insider-trading conspiracy that turned tips from company executives and technology consultants into cash.
He will trade in suits for a uniform, a luxury Manhattan apartment for a cell, and credit cards and cash for postage stamps and packages of mackerel, the black market currency of his new home. The millions of dollars he made on illegal trades will be replaced by manual labor starting at 12 cents an hour.
Rajaratnam surrendered today at about 12:30 p.m., according to Robert Lanza, a spokesman for Federal Medical Center Devens in Ayer, Massachusetts. At 12:15 p.m., a red SUV with tinted windows and government license plates entered the prison grounds with a state police escort.
Today, Rajaratnam will be fingerprinted, photographed, strip-searched and issued a number to serve as his identity. It is the beginning of what -- for the convicted co-founder of Galleon Group LLC, agreed two former inmates and an ex-U.S. prison official -- will be very hard time.
Rajaratnam, 54, was sentenced in October after a federal jury in Manhattan found him guilty of 14 counts of securities fraud and conspiracy. He directed colleagues, consultants and corporate officers to leak information that made him tens of millions of dollars.
Longest Sentence
His was the longest sentence ever handed down for such a crime, and the culmination of a four-year nationwide probe of insider trading. Last week, a three-judge panel rejected his last-minute plea to remain free while he appeals his conviction.
Devens is located on a decommissioned military base about 40 miles northwest of Boston. Rajaratnam said in court papers that he has health problems including diabetes, and will probably need dialysis and a kidney transplant.
As he gets used to his new surroundings, the former inmates and ex-prison official predicted Rajaratnam will have a particularly difficult experience adjusting to the loss of control faced by many former executives when jailed.
"You're a white-collar guy who's running a company or a stock broker wearing a suit and tie," said Jack Donson, a consultant who retired from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons in June after 23 years working as a correctional treatment specialist. "The hardest thing to get used to is being told what to do by a $30,000-a-year corrections officer."
'Shock For Him'
Devens houses 1,180 male inmates, said John Colautti, another prison spokesman. An adjacent minimum security prison has 124 men. John Dowd, a lawyer for Rajaratnam, declined to comment.
"A lot of things are going to be a shock for him. It is not by any means a country club," said Joe Tomaso, who served 10 months at Devens in 2007 for mail fraud. "Everything is very rigid and structured."
Rajaratnam, whose wiretapped telephone calls played a key role in his conviction, will be limited to 300 minutes a month on the phone -- 400 minutes during the holiday months of November and December. Except when he's talking to his lawyers, his mail and calls will be monitored by prison staff.
He'll have to be sure he's in his assigned spot for the five daily counts or risk a trip to the Special Housing Unit, the high-security lockup that inmates call "the hole."
'Disgusting' Mackerel
He can move around the prison only during the 15-minute "open movement" periods, which are called every hour on the half hour. He'll be told when he may eat, go to bed and buy extra food and supplies from the prison commissary. Prisoners can buy luxuries including fresh vegetables and laundry service on the black market, paying with postage stamps and plastic and foil packages of mackerel, according to Tomaso.
"It's disgusting, and I never ate it, nor would I, but mackerel, along with postage stamps, are inmate currency," he said. Corrections officers check inmates' lockers for the items. An inmate caught with too many stamps or too much mackerel may be disciplined -- even sent to the hole, Tomaso said.
After his formal prison intake, he'll be given prison identification with his inmate number -- 62785-054 according to the BOP website -- which will be his identity to prison staff.
Rajaratnam's street clothes and possessions -- with the exception of a wedding ring, glasses and a few other approved items -- will be taken away, according to the author of "Federal Prison: A Comprehensive Survival Guide," who uses the pseudonym "Jonathan Richards" in the book and on his website.
Richards, who was released from Devens in April 2007 after serving six months for student loan fraud, spoke on condition of anonymity because he doesn't want his prison record publicized.
New inmates coming to Devens from outside the prison system are typically sent to the Special Housing Unit for at least 48 hours while waiting for the results of a test for tuberculosis, said Colautti, the Devens spokesman.
Most inmates outside the 132-bed hospital unit are housed in cells or in "cubes," which are surrounded by a 5-foot concrete wall, according to Richards. The open-dormitory style cubes are noisy and put inmates sleeping in the top bunks within sight of everyone in the unit.
Inmates are required to work, and Rajaratnam will probably be assigned a job, possibly with limitations required by his physical condition, said Donson, who advises lawyers, defendants and inmates on the workings of the federal prison system.
"If you can push a broom or if you can dust off a windowsill, you're going to be doing something," said Donson. New Devens inmates are typically assigned to work in the kitchen, one of the least popular jobs, according to Colautti.
Ex-Drug Addicts
Devens houses male inmates who need specialized or long-term medical or mental health care, according to the BOP. If he requires dialysis for his failing kidneys, Rajaratnam will probably spend the time surrounded by ex-drug addicts suffering the effects of prolonged intravenous drug use, Donson said.
Devens is also the only federal facility that offers a high-intensity program for inmates classified as high-risk sexual offenders, the Residential Sex Offender Treatment Program.
Hundreds of physically healthy sex offenders, including child molesters and men serving sentences for Internet sex crimes, are assigned to Devens both for treatment and their protection, according to BOP documents. About a quarter of Devens inmates are sex offenders, said Colautti.
The Devens Federal Medical Center is classified as an "administrative facility," which means it takes prisoners of all security designations. About one in five Devens inmates are considered medium- or high-security, Colautti said. Almost 20 are serving life sentences, he said.
'White-Collar Guys'
"The white-collar guys sometimes don't know how to take the real convicts," said Donson. "I bet there's a lot of heavy people he's in there with."
Richards's cube-mate, or "celly," was a crack-cocaine dealer from Washington, an eight-time felon who'd lost an eye in a failed attempted to rob another dealer, he said. Tomaso said his cellmate was a sex offender.
Current Devens inmates include C. Gregory Earls, the former chief executive officer of U.S. Technologies Inc. convicted of securities fraud. He's due to be released in 2014. Also at Devens is Frank Locascio, who is serving a life sentence following his 1992 racketeering conviction with former Gambino family organized crime boss John Gotti.
Shoot Inmates
The facility is surrounded by razor-wire fencing, with a perimeter patrolled by armed officers with authorization to shoot any inmate who tries to escape, according to Tomaso.
Rajaratnam is unlikely to face violence at Devens if he treats other inmates with respect, according to Richards, who said he witnessed a fistfight at the facility about once a month. Most fights get their start in the TV room, where inmates argue over where they can sit and what channel to watch. The conflicts are quickly broken up, he said.
"If there's ever a fight, they're on it in a heartbeat," Tomaso said of the guards.
Fighting can cost prisoners some of the 54 "good time" days they get off their sentences after their first year, and can result in a trip to the hole. There is no parole in the federal prison system.
Still, an inmate who backs down when attacked can count on becoming a target for the rest of his time at Devens, according to Richards.
Richards said Rajaratnam should remember to put his hands out thumbs-up when he's handcuffed to minimize discomfort. He should avoid being seen talking with child molesters and government cooperators, and to assure immediate access to a doctor, he should tell the guard he's about to lose consciousness, Richards added.
'Don't Rat'
"Watch out who you hang with," said Tomaso. "Don't walk in there cocky. Don't gamble and don't borrow. Don't get on anybody's wrong side."
The number one rule is that inmates must settle disputes between themselves, without calling in prison staff.
"Don't rat," Richards said in his book.
Both Richards and Tomaso agreed that Rajaratnam may benefit from his notoriety while in prison.
"Some of the guys will look up to him because he stuck it to the system," said Tomaso. "He got a lot of money."
Additionally, since Rajaratnam is a high-profile inmate with lawyers and consultants, staff may treat him with more care than other prisoners, particularly in connection with his medical needs, according to the former inmates.
'Lower Level' Care
Before Rajaratnam was sentenced, Phillip Wise, a former warden at the federal medical center in Rochester, Minnesota, told the judge presiding over the case that the Galleon co-founder faced a "lower level of medical care" in prison.
Devens provides dialysis to about 85 inmates, with a capacity for as many as 125, Sandra Howard, Devens's clinical director, said in an affidavit submitted in September in Rajaratnam's criminal case at the request of prosecutors.
Since 2004, 15 Devens inmates have received kidney transplants, performed by specialists at the University of Massachusetts, she said. The prison has about 31 inmates who received transplants before they were in custody, she said.
"Rajaratnam has medical conditions that are managed routinely by the Federal Bureau of Prisons," Howard said in her affidavit.
Richards and Tomaso were critical of the care at Devens.
"BOP does not give its inmates stellar care at the public's expense like some believe," said Tomaso, a former emergency medical technician who has liver disease. "When you are actually in custody on-site, you get the bare minimum."
Food or Medicine
Inmates called in late to the dining hall sometimes had to choose between eating and taking their medications, which were given at the same time, he said. Six times during his 10-month sentence, Tomaso said he had to be sent for care to an outside hospital, where he remained shackled to his bed. He said he doesn't blame the poor care on the prison's medical staff, who he said are overworked.
Richards, who said he was sent to Devens because he suffers from a chronic pain condition, claimed he was denied prescribed medication throughout most of his six-month sentence, leaving him frequently in intense pain. Despite a doctor's order that he avoid prolonged standing and sitting, Richards said he was assigned a job in the kitchen that would have kept him on his feet for eight hours a day.
Other prisoners waited weeks to see specialists and routine ailments like the flu went untreated, he said. Richards said little care is given to inmates unless they are very ill -- having a seizure or heart attack, for example. The care that was given was generally inadequate, he said.
Less Time
U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell in Manhattan, who presided over Rajaratnam's case, said he considered the hedge fund manager's medical condition in giving him less time than the 24 ½ year-term prosecutors had sought.
Rajaratnam had sought to serve his term in a federal medical facility at a complex in Butner, North Carolina, where convicted Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff was assigned. The BOP has final say on where a prisoner is assigned.
Colautti, a Devens prison spokesman, said his facility is accredited by the Joint Commission, which reviews and certifies health care programs in the U.S.
While he cited privacy rules in declining to discuss individual cases, he noted that the commission recently gave Devens an outstanding rating.
The case is U.S. v. Rajaratnam, 09-01184, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Japanese expatriates on Friday began visiting embassies and consulates around the world to cast their ballots for the upcoming House of Councillors election set for July 21 in Japan.
Jun Makihara, 55, who cast his vote at the Consulate General in New York, said he supports Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and said, "If the Liberal Democratic Party scores a major victory and makes the Abe government a long-term administration, it will probably be a good thing."
In London, a 35-year-old male company employee, who has lived in the British capital for two years, said at the Japanese Embassy that he is not yet sure how much the prime minister's economic policies, widely referred to as Abenomics, are having an impact.
At the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, a 33-year-old Japanese man who works for a South Korean company said, "I will feel relieved if Japan's relations with neighboring countries will normalize and stabilize through this election."
Miyuki Otsuka, a 46-year-old resident of China for 17 years, said, "Last year, I realized for the first time that Japanese politics affect us so much," referring to diplomatic rows between China and Japan. Otsuka cast her ballot at the Japanese Embassy in Beijing.

- I have a TCP connection (SSH session to some computer for example)
- Network suddenly goes down and drops all packets (disconnected cable, out of range).
- TCP resends packets again and again, retrying with increasing delays.
- I see the problem and plug the cable back (or restore network somehow).
- TCP connection finally successfully resends some packet and continues.
The problem is that I need to wait for a some timeout on point 5. I want to use my opened SSH session now and not wait for 5-10 seconds until it finds out that connection is working again.
How to force all TCP connections to resend data without delays in GNU/Linux?
