YAYA Toure and the case of the absent birthday greeting. Modern day football is a world away from Martin Dobson's era.
"Not getting a birthday cake when you're on £250,000 a week... you've got to laugh about all this,"said the former midfielder, whose first weekly wage was a small fraction at £14.
But the Burnley great would not swap his life, his time, for the fame and fortune of today's Premier League stars.
"We had it when it was there," said Dobson, who started out at Bolton Wanderers, had two spells at Burnley either side of a move to Everton before ending his playing career as player-manager of Bury.
"When I went to Everton I was on less than £200 a week, but it was decent money at that time.
"That's how it was.
"I'm delighted with the way my career has gone. No regrets whatsoever... I'm so lucky it's untrue.
"I'm not one of those jealous guys who look at it now with players on hundreds of thousands of pounds a week."
In truth, Dobson would probably have even paid to play, such was his love of the game.
There are framed photographs in the hallway of his home in Horwich. Permanent reminders of his life in football.
A black and white image of him lifting the Second Division trophy as captain of Burnley stands out from the rest.
In the lounge, a painting of a match night at Turf Moor has pride of place on the wall.
Football has always had his heart, and it beats strongly for Burnley. Small wonder, considering he was employed by them three times – twice as a player, once as head of youth development.
But, whisper it quietly, this Clarets legend's first affection was for Blackburn Rovers.
Born in Blackburn, with a family engineering business in the town and family home in nearby Rishton, Ewood Park was a regular haunt for him and his father, Stanley, in the 1950s and 60s.
"My dad was a Blackburn Rovers supporter so I used to go with him to watch them," said Dobson, who from the terraces admired Ronnie Clayton and Bryan Douglas and his wish to be a professional footballer took hold.
It was nurtured at school, Clitheroe Royal Grammar, where he says he 'sneaked in' on the strength of his older brother Philip being a model pupil.
"It was a good school because it was great for sport," said Dobson, who started out as a striker.
"I got in their first XI at 14 years old and actually succeeded my brother, who was just going to university then. I stayed there and did my A-levels so there was a Dobson playing centre forward for the first XI at Clitheroe Grammar School for nine years."
Before the advent of centres of excellence and academies, it was where he was first spotted by club scouts, with Bolton Wanderers the first to register their interest.
"They were in the Second Division, which of course now is the Championship. A fellow called Frank Pickford, Bolton's chief scout, saw me then playing for Lancashire Schoolboys.
"I remember him coming on a Sunday afternoon and wanting me to sign for Bolton as an apprentice, when Bill Ridding was manager."
Denied the chance to explore a career in football with Blackburn Rovers because of his own father's wishes, Stanley Dobson said he would never stand in the way of his sons if the opportunity arose.
He was a man of his word, just as he was to Bolton when there were competitors for a young Martin's signature.
Dobson said: "Manchester City and Arsenal and one or two others came in, including Burnley, and they said, 'You haven't signed anything so you can come and play for us'.
"But my dad had shook hands with Bolton's chief scout and he said that was it: a gentleman's agreement.
"And there was an agreement for a professional contract with Bolton at the end of my two years as an apprentice.
"You learned from your parents.
"He was an honourable man; straight as a die.
"He and my mother, Annie, were very supportive.
"Of course you get parents now shouting and screaming from the sidelines.
"But they would just come and support and enjoy it."
On leaving school at 18, after A-levels, Dobson also graduated from his apprenticeship to sign the promised professional contract with Bolton in 1966.
It was supposed to be the beginning.
But it was almost the end.
"I started off okay because I was so enthusiastic," he said.
"I was getting paid £14 a week and they were in what is now the Championship – the old Second Division. But my confidence started going and I wondered why."
Dobson had put himself under pressure to perform.
"I had to really succeed because before it was all about enjoying myself and now I was getting paid," he continued.
"I wondered why my form had gone, and I worried, and that affected me more. I wasn't enjoying training. It was more training rather than coaching, although I didn't know it at the time because I'd never had any professional coaching before.
"But it was all running and there was nothing with the ball.
"The season started but I was never getting any touches of the ball because there was nothing on the floor, it was all in the air.
"At the end of the season I got a free transfer.
"That was a big learning curve for me because it really made me stand on my own feet and sort it out.
"I had to do it with help from other people as well."
His father was at the forefront, after having to deliver the bad news himself.
"The manager didn't actually say anything. He sent me a recorded delivery letter more or less saying, 'Thanks very much, goodbye'," Dobson recalled.
"My dad opened it up because it was a recorded delivery letter. We'd never had one of these in our lives.
"He knew it was serious.
"I came back into the room after being with my mates and he sat me down on the settee.
"It was emotional because my dad knew I would be disappointed.
"Had he said then, 'Well Martin you're obviously not good enough, they're the professionals, they know what they're talking about, you'll have to find something else to do', then that would have been it.
"We had the engineering business which I could have gone into. Jobs were available at that time.
"If he'd have said that I would have gone down that path and played part-time or amateur football. Nelson had come in for me.
"I wanted to carry on playing in some capacity.
"But my dad said, 'I think you deserve another chance, son. Why don't we get in touch with Burnley Football Club'."

A Brexit could cause a major paradigm shift, both in macroeconomic terms and in the financial markets, according to experts at Natixis Asset Management
On 23 June 2016, a referendum will be held on the United Kingdom's continued membership of the European Union. As the Brexit and Bremain campaigns intensify, experts at Natixis Asset Management have examined the macroeconomic impact and the consequences for the financial markets of both options. Their analysis indicates that Brexit would cause a major paradigm shift in Europe from both a political and economic perspective.
A major European challenge
According to Philippe Waechter, Director of Economic Research, the referendum raises many questions about the economic and political consequences for the UK, and also for the entire European Union (...) Although the electorate's decision is primarily political, it will have a major economic impact.
Potentially volatile European equity markets
In general terms, if Brexit becomes a reality, equity markets in Europe may experience a shock, the magnitude of which is still difficult to estimate (5% to 10% or more), in view of the likely macroeconomic impact and trade links between the EU and the UK. The much more cautious approach of international investors with regard to Europe (with negative flows on European equity funds in February) is the first materialisation of this risk.
Strong and divergent reactions on the bond market
On the bond markets, Brexit is seen as the greatest threat since the sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone (...) Brexit would result in a dramatic increase in uncertainty and thereby an increase in volatility and consequently strong risk aversion, which would in turn affect the risk premiums of all asset classes.

AT&T says it will not cut users off from the Internet who are suspected of illegally downloading copyrighted material, even though its copyright warning letter says it could.
On Friday, the TorrentFreak blog published AT&T's Copyright Alert System (CAS) warning sent to people it believes are swapping movies, songs, books, etc., from the Internet without paying for them.
The letter warned that illegally downloading was a violation of AT&T's terms and it could result in "a limitation of Internet access or even suspension or termination" of the account. In other words, AT&T said the user could be cut off from the Internet.
That was a shocker.
This letter is part of the "six strikes" plan that went into effect last February, where the nation's largest ISPs send warnings to those they think are breaking copyright law.
Six strikes is supposed to be all about education. Repeat violators are not supposed to be cut off from the Internet. They are to be temporarily redirected to another page, where they will be required to view educational materials on copyright. Once they do that, the person will be released and free to go about their Internet business.
AT&T has specifically and repeatedly promised that it's not cutting users off from the Internet as part of "six strikes."
So we contacted AT&T and and asked why the warning includes this threat.
A spokesperson explained that the letter is telling people what could happen should the person actually be found guilty of illegal downloading under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by a court of law.
Because the six strikes warnings are only allegations, AT&T promises it won't take these actions.
If the person has completed the required educational course and AT&T suspects the person is still illegally downloading, after six warnings nothing will happen, a source close to the company told us. That is, unless a copyright holder takes the person to court over it.
Here's the full response that AT&T sent to us:
As we have previously stated, AT&T's implementation of the CAS program does not involve terminating (or slowing) customers' Internet accounts. The text of the Alert you saw on TorrentFreak on Friday contains a phrase about termination for repeat infringers, which refers to our existing Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) safe harbor obligations to have a policy to terminate "repeat infringers" in appropriate circumstances. CAS alerts are in response to allegations of infringement rather than conclusive determinations of infringement by a court.

You can say whatever you want about the holidays—they're a corporate bastardization of tradition, they're a mess on your emotional/financial well being, they fuck up traffic—but I will continue to love our annual holidays for one solid reason. Holidays mean TIME FOR ANOTHER TEDDY THE PORCUPINE VIDEO! Yes!
In case you don't remember, Teddy is everything. This time Santa paid Teddy a visit and brought him everyone's favorite Christmas gift, corn on the cob. Funny, my Aunt Cathy got me corn one year for Christmas, too. It's a long story, but basically she said if I hung on to it, it would be a "good investment."
Anyway, now it's time for me to obsessively watch the video over and over and try to make out what "people words" he's saying this time. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, to all the Jezzies out there tonight on Christmas Eve! Love y'all!

Hockey confident Sinodinos will return
Treasurer Joe Hockey is confident Arthur Sinodinos will return to the front bench as assistant treasurer after standing aside while a corruption inquiry is underway.
Senator Sinodinos stood aside from the ministry in March pending the outcome of a NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry.
He has since appeared as a witness at the hearing, but has denied any wrongdoing in relation to his role in a water company that funnelled donations to the NSW Liberal Party.
Mr Hockey said Finance Minister Mathias Cormann had been doing an "outstanding job" filling in as assistant treasurer in Senator Sinodinos' absence, including during the budget process.
When asked if he was confident Mr Sinodinos would return to the frontbench, Mr Hockey replied: "Yep, absolutely".
"We look forward to Arthur coming back," he told Sky News on Sunday.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Columbus seeks Dem '16 convention
Columbus wants to host the Democratic National Convention in 2016 — and representatives for the city worked to make that clear in Washington Thursday evening.
At a reception complete with brisket and crab cake sliders, free drinks and mock delegate signs and passes, many top Buckeye State Democrats worked to convince DNC members that holding the next party convention in swing-state Ohio will benefit the 2016 Democratic nominee. It was the only exception to what's otherwise been a fairly quiet Democratic convention process thus far, especially compared with the early efforts of cities vying for the 2016 Republican convention.
Story Continued Below
The pitch Thursday night was simple: Columbus – and Ohio as a whole – are key to any presidential victory.
"As Ohio goes, so goes the nation," speaker after speaker told the crowd of more than 400 people.
( PHOTOS: Cities vying for the 2016 GOP convention)
"I believe Columbus, Ohio, can hold the key to winning Ohio in 2016," said former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland. "That's got to be our goal."
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern said the 2016 Democratic nominee will benefit hugely from the free media an Ohio convention would bring.
"The national campaign will save $20 million if they choose Ohio," he said. "I think, quite frankly, if the Democrats choose Ohio for the convention, we win the presidency."

As Democrats came to town for the party's winter meeting, there was little overt talk of convention cities in between caucus meetings and speeches; asked what they'd heard so far, many DNC members said not much at this early stage in the process. While there's been chatter about other cities that are potentially interested — Phoenix, for example, is planning to submit a bid, and others such as Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Atlanta are seriously considering it — none of the others held events or handed out swag to DNC members.
Columbus is one of three Ohio cities, along with Cleveland and Cincinnati, considering bids for both conventions.
At last month's RNC winter meeting, Columbus, along with four others — Las Vegas, Denver, Phoenix, Kansas City — worked to woo members with wifi lounges, barbeque and churros, among other things. All five of those cities were included in the RNC's list of eight that made it to the next round of consideration; also on the list were Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dallas.
DNC officials say their selection process has always unfolded later on the calendar than that of Republicans, which accounts for the lack of fanfare at the Democrats' gathering this week. In the 2012 cycle, for example, Republicans announced their pick of Tampa in May 2010; Democrats didn't announce they had chosen Charlotte until February 2011. And while Republicans chose their site selection committee last month, Democrats haven't begun to name theirs.
Still, the process is slowly beginning: Cities must indicate to the DNC by Saturday whether they're interested in submitting a proposal. At that point, the DNC will send over its full list of requirements and the cities can choose whether to submit a formal proposal.
Letters went out to at least 30 cities earlier this month inviting them to bid, a DNC official confirmed. The list of cities includes: Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Detroit, El Paso, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Nashville-Davidson, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Orlando, New Orleans, Oakland, Pittsburgh, Portland, Sacramento, San Antonio, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tampa.
St. Louis, Austin, Kansas City, Portland, Chicago and Tampa have all already said they're not planning to bid on the 2016 convention. Representatives from mayor's offices in many of the other potential cities didn't respond to requests for comment.
Hosting a convention can be a huge economic boon to the city involved: as DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz writes in the letter, past national conventions "have injected approximately $150 million to $200 million" into the host city's economy.
But it also comes with a long list of requirements, dealing with everything from available hotel rooms to security to the most important part: fundraising.
The DNC's interest letters were accompanied by a detailed, 9-page list of requirements for host cities, including an arena with a capacity of 18,500 to 25,000; 17,000 to 18,000 hotel rooms (and 1,000 suites) within a half-hour radius of the convention site; and a "financial package," though the letter didn't specify how much.

of stats and scraping
This all started when I wanted to share some stats I had been calculating privately with the rest of my fantasy baseball league.
Last season I wrote a handful of emacs lisp functions to scrape Yahoo!'s fantasy baseball site with the intention of having a status update on my team every time I opened an emacs session to do my days work (The faithful among us will note that I am far out of my depth and Doing It Wrong if I actually close my emacs sessions at all, much less doing so every morning. Duly noted). So I had the raw numbers within my reach.
I decided that a CouchDB database was the best place for this data to live. Its new, so there's cool points for making something useful with it, but more than that, when retrieving data from a CouchDB instance, it is returned in JSON format. That decided it for me. Javascript is a language near and dear to my heart. Just about every developer in my league has been in web development, so they've all hard-won some twisted semblance of competence in the language, and if that experience had scarred them irreparably, then just about every other major language out there has a JSON library. Best of all, data has a public http url for easy access (The CouchDB quarter will say here that CouchDB is RESTful, which is kind of a sly techo-descriptive pun as CouchDB's slogan is "Time to Relax").
With data in CouchDB, anybody could get access to my data (Yahoo!'s data), manipulate it, and make something cool for themselves. The driving forces behind CouchDB, though, hold even more potential. Users could write Javascript functions and upload them back to the database and then everyone would have the cool thing instead of everyone having their own cool things. CouchDB calls itself a database, but it can host code, keep revisions of data, and serve documents. "Excuse me, but you got your wiki in my GitHub", if you will. If your users have some ability to write code, the applications that can grow out of a single CouchDB instance are enormous. However, nothing would sprout in my database if I couldn't put data into it.
This was a bit of a problem as all of my fantasy baseball code was written in emacs lisp. Emacs can invoke programs from your system and redirect their output to one of its buffers. My code leaned heavily on this feature to invoke wget, using it to handle sessions and cookies while I slurped up pages from our league's site, and then used emacs' extensive buffer search facilities to ferret out and collect the data I was interested in.
In order for the web site to be useful at all, it would need to be updated daily (something that Yahoo! itself has a spotty track record of). It would have been possible to cron a task that started emacs and executed my emacs lisp scripts, but, again, those faithful among us would be wincing in pain at the thought of opening and closing emacs so often. Its not an elegant solution.
I settled on using Steel Bank Common Lisp to solve my problems. It adds threads and function scheduling to the Common Lisp toolkit. I decided I would start an SBCL image and keep it running for the duration of the season. I would schedule a function to run every morning that would scrape stats and then insert those stats into a CouchDB database. It would work beautifully, harmoniously. The faithful would be pleased. Problem was, I had never used Common Lisp like this before. My exposure was limited to starting up an image, hacking around until I produced some string or file or number useful to me, and then I shut it down and went on my way. I had no right to expect that I could keep a SBCL session running for 182 games during the summer.
If I did not have a touch of mental illness — a little miswiring in my wetware subroutines — I might have let that thought stop me, and my next few posts would be about a wonderfully prosaic, conventional and dull system written in Java. It won't be.

D-Ice is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as an unseen, main character in Grand Theft Auto III. D-Ice is the leader of the Red Jacks, a sub-group of the Southside Hoods.
D-Ice has a younger brother. Not much is known about his background, though in the mission "Rumble" he mentions that he has a parole hearing in three months time, suggesting he is in prison, though the reason why is never mentioned.
D-Ice assigns Claude jobs from Shoreside Vale, operating from a payphone located in the Wichita Gardens housing projects. Several of its missions involved attacks and fights against a rival gang, the Purple Nines, which appeared to be supplied with SPANK and are pushing the drug onto the streets. Claude would eventually reduce the Purple Nines to only a few members at the time of the final battle between Claude with D-Ice's brother and the last of the Purple Nines, using baseball bats.

'American Idol' Season 12, Episode 19 Recap: Nicki Minaj Threatens to Leave Show
Last night's episode was the first major elimination to help us get closer to finding out who will become the next 'American Idol.' Taking a little idea from it's rival singing competition 'The X Factor,' the show gave each contestant a placement from first to 10th place. The first to be named was Candice Glover and joining her in the top three were Kree Harrison, (who received a key to the city from her hometown Winfield, Texas) and Angie Miller.
Together, the three as a group performed the song 'Shine Your Way' to help promote the Crood and the harmonies were on point!
Two former contestants also came back to perform: Charlie Askew and Aubrey Cleland. The showed face for a sing-off, which would determine their spot as a member of the 'American Idol Tour.' Charlie did an original tune, 'Sky Blue Diamond, ' which was pitchy throughout the entire song. Aubrey had a sweet moment while performing Irene Cara's 'Out Here on My Own.' We have to wait until next episode to see who will make it on the tour.
Major performances from New Jersey's own Bon Jovi and former 'American Idol' winner Phillip Phillip were showcased before revealing the rest of the results.
Those in the safe zone were announced from fourth to last place rankings. Fourth place was Lazaro Arbos, fifth place was Amber Holcomb, sixth place was Janelle Arthur, seventh place was Burnell Taylor, eighth place was Paul Jolley and the bottom two were Devin Velez and Curtis Finch, Jr.
Nicki Minaj threatened to leave the show if Curtis was eliminated, even though she wasn't present for his performance last night.
Devon stayed, and unfortunately, Curtis was eliminated. Nicki wasn't a woman of her words, at least by contract. She did stand up and walked a few steps away from the judges' panel but came back for Curtis' performance.
Mariah Carey was emotional after Curtis' name was revealed and mentioned the two had a "connection," though the judges didn't agree on the idea of keeping Curtis for another round.
As his last performance, Curtis performed R. Kelly's 'I Believe I Can Fly.'

Rams Outlast Old Westbury for Skyline Win
Farmingdale State - 87, Old Westbury - 85 (F/OT)
Old Westbury, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team defeated Old Westbury, 87-85, in overtime last night. The Rams earned their fourth straight conference victory and improved to 6-5 overall, 5-1 in the Skyline.
The Rams trailed 53-45 with 14:07 remaining in the second half, until senior guard John Dabney (Freeport, N.Y./Freeport) hit a 3-pointer, which sparked a 9-0 Farmingdale State run. Old Westbury (2-8, 1-4 Skyline) would answer two minutes later with an 8-0 run, capped off by a layup and three free-throws by senior center Lester Prosper (Bellmore, N.Y./Mepham), putting the Panthers ahead 71-63 with 6:06 to play.
The Rams closed the deficit to one as Jermaine Abraham (Brooklyn, N.Y./Wadleigh) scored on a slam dunk with 3:08 remaining in regulation. An Old Westbury turnover on their next possession followed by a three-point basket by junior guard Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y./Brentwood) off the feed from Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y./Deer Park) put the Rams on top 76-74. Old Westbury's Frantz Granjean (Brooklyn, N.Y./Midwood) scored on back-to-back possessions, as the Panthers held a 78-77 lead with 1:44 to play. Flournoy was fouled on Farmingdale State's next trip down the floor and converted both free-throws. The Panthers would only hit 1-of-2 free-throws on their final possession as the game was knotted at 79-79 and headed to overtime.
Trailing 84-83 with 1:05 remaining in overtime, Flournoy gave the Rams the lead for good as he hit his third 3-pointer of the game, putting Farmingdale State ahead 86-84. The Rams defense didn't allow Old Westbury a field goal over the final minute en route to an 87-85 Skyline win.
Flournoy shot 56% from the floor and scored a team-high 24 points, while Smith had 18 points and five assists for Farmingdale State.
Prosper fell one block short of a triple-double for Old Westbury as he recorded 21 points, 19 rebounds and nine blocks. Granjean led all scorers with 29 points in the loss.
Farmingdale State will travel to Mount Saint Mary for a conference game on Saturday, January 8th at 3:00 p.m.

Sam is basically right, he's just cranky.
150 - 200 words per minute. Basic reading ability
Thanks Kenobro.
I got above average at 250-300 words a minute. Then again I usually don't measure my reading speed with how fast I can read in a minute but how fast I can read a book. To put it bluntly, on my first read through of Frankenstein I read the book in under three hours. I got the same time with Lord of the Flies, five hours with The Grapes of Wrath, and I read all of Atlas shrugged in a little over twelve hours. So yah, it's not about the words it's about the whole picture.

Obama pardons "Cobbler" the Thanksgiving turkey
Carrying on a centuries-old Thanksgiving tradition, President Obama today pardoned the official White House Thanksgiving turkey at a lighthearted ceremony in the White House Rose Garden, thanking both the bird and its alternate for their service before offering special Thanksgiving wishes to the victims of superstorm Sandy and to U.S. forces abroad.}
In a thinly-veiled reference to the presidential election, Mr. Obama, joined by his daughters Sasha and Malia for the ceremony, joked that "life is all about second chances, and this November I could not agree more."
"So in the spirit of the season, I have one more gift to give and it goes to a pair of turkeys named Cobbler and Gobbler," he said. Noting that the official White House turkey was selected via a "highly competitive online vote" -- Gobbler was elected to be Cobbler's alternate -- he said: "The American people have spoken and these birds are moving forward."
Striking a more serious note, the president reflected on the holiday as a "chance to spend time with the people we care about and to give thanks for the blessings we enjoy," as well as an opportunity to "remember those who are less fortunate."
"This year that's particularly true for our neighbors in the Northeast who have lost their homes, possessions ,and even their loved ones to Hurricane Sandy," he said.
After issuing the official pardon, he encouraged his daughters to pet the 19-week old, 40-lb bird. Sasha, the younger, complied; giggling, Malia kept her distance.
According to the White House's history of turkey pardons, Americans have been giving the president holiday turkeys since the 1800s. In 1947, the White House started celebrating these gifts in the Rose Garden. Not every president has been in the habit of sparing the turkey's life, however: Presidents Eisenhower and Johnson ate the turkeys presented to them.
According to the White House, today's two birds were raised on the farm of Craig and Nancy Miller of Virginia, under National Turkey Federation Chairman Steve Willardsen's supervision and in partnership with the Virginia Poultry Federation.
Meantime, asked by CBS News' Bill Plante about the cease-fire announcement in the Gaza strip, the president stopped, looked and smiled, but didn't respond.
The president's real pardons
Today's event brings to eight, the number of turkeys Mr. Obama has "pardoned" since taking office. That's almost a third of the number of real pardons the president has granted.
Mr. Obama issued no pardons until the very end of his second year in office and to date, the number of pardons he's granted stands at 22. That's fewer than any prior president since James Garfield, who granted no pardons during his six months in office before his assassination in September 1881.
According to statistics from the Office of the Pardon Attorney at the U.S. Justice Department, though Mr. Obama has granted 22 pardons and one commutation of sentence since taking office, he has so far denied 1,019 pardon petitions and 3,793 applications for commutations of sentence.
That's one pardon granted for every 46 denied.
Here's how the pardon count compares among Mr. Obama's recent predecessors:
- George W. Bush - 189 pardons (including one withdrawn the day after it was granted)
- Bill Clinton - 396 pardons
- George H. W. Bush - 74 pardons
- Ronald Reagan - 393 pardons
- Jimmy Carter - 534 pardons
- Gerald Ford - 382 pardons
- Richard Nixon - 863 pardons
- Lyndon Johnson - 960 pardons
- John Kennedy - 472 pardons
By far, former President Franklin Roosevelt granted the most pardons: 3,687. Of course he was president for 12 years, longer than any predecessor or successor.
Like Garfield, former President William Harrison also granted no pardons during his term in office.
Among the Founding Fathers, George Washington granted 16 pardons, John Adams, 21, and Thomas Jefferson, 119.

"Journal of Grievances" by Geoffrey Dicker – Available Now!
Artwork by Carl Paoli. Book by G.
Warning: this book is recommended for immature audiences only. It contains ridiculous amounts of adult language and really twisted situations. Journal of Grievances is a controversially raw and uncensored look into the ups and downs (both in and out of the bedroom) of a struggling, single gay male writer in New York. Told through daily journal entries on his year long approach to 40, the protagonist spills his guts with hilarious wit as he waxes philosophically and analyzes his raunchy sex life, drug addictions, debauched relationships, life encounters, and his frustrations with society while navigating through relationship drama and job-loss as he struggles to find his place in the world. This is Geoffrey Dicker's first novel. He asks that if you are easily offended by profanity or graphic depictions of gay sex to please not buy this book. Alternately, he advises the reader to flip to any page and promises that within 2 sentences, you'll be laughing.
