@BarackObama Pains me to say it, but @BarackObama isn't completely wrong. Kimmel is an absolute hack and a liar, and the worst kind of human being out there. He made some patently, laughably false statements about the killer's supposed political leanings. Who cares?

@christienevils @3YearLetterman @GovTimWalz Watch your mouth. If Ron Gant can’t keep his foot on the bag, that’s his problem.

When your first born son gets ready to leave the house and start college in the fall, you revisit how you prioritized some things over the years and realize you can’t turn back the clock. Remember that the main reason to have a successful career is to better support your family.

@dr_cellini @CanesDavid @IR_Doctor How about just giving us a volume if you dictate “prostatomegaly?”

[Dr. Adam Walker @DrAdamWalker]

@CanesDavid @IR_Doctor Preach!! Couldn’t agree more!

After a month at training camp, pretty sure Indie is happy to be back home. #pudelpointer

Totally pathetic that Rich Lowry has to even address this nonsense… https://t.co/0lz44pPEvG

@ambernoelle Smokey this is not ‘Nam. There are rules…

[Dr. Adam Walker @DrAdamWalker]

@ambernoelle Mary is full of crap. You cannot “personalize” the recipe. It’s ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, French style green beans from the can (don’t even think about using fresh green beans), tater tots and cheddar cheese. Absolutely no corn or other vegetables. Ever.

As they should be. Don’t mess with perfection @nytcooking

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:

We had it so good with baseball cards and we didn't know it....

How could we? When we were kids they held promise, future fortunes and they cost .50/pack. You could hit up any grocery store, convenience store, pharmacy, 7-11 and...

If you had a dollar in your pocket you were baseball card rich. Cards. Gum. Assets.

You kids today have no idea.

There were no box breaks or buy-ins or $49.99 or $99 packs or $1,000 packs or sets or streams to see other cards or dozens of different sets with holograms and refractors and subtle variations or uniform slivers cut inside...

HELL NO.

We had cardboard. And three ring binders. And plastic sleeves...

We had a 4-pound Beckett guide that was our bible.

We coveted like 7 rookie cards:

Rickey Henderson
Don Mattingly
Kirby Puckett
Roger Clemens
Doc Gooden
Mark McGwire
Ozzie Smith

And then, of course, we overloaded on Ken Griffey Jr...

But for about 6 years we treated our card collection like it was our personal hedge fund.

We'd trade cards in the school cafeteria like stock brokers...

3 Frank Violas and 2 Ryne Sandbergs for a Jose Canseco Rookie

1 Jack McDowell RC plus 1 Ruben Sierra RC for a Benito Santiago rookie

We'd try to get lucky by loading up on Ellis Burks or Jim Abbott rookies. We took shots, cornering the market on random players with upside like Todd Benzinger and Walt Weiss or personal favorites like Oil Can Boyd...

And on and on we'd go, thinking that once we had the rookie cards from the entire '94 all-star team or all of the rookie cards from the '92 Sox or Yankees or A's that we could then put our cards in a vault for thirty years...

Then we'd open that vault up in 2023 when we were 40 and we'd... BE... RICH!!!

We know now that it wasn't meant to be.

But damn. What a time to be a kid. What a time to be alive. It was awesome.

@MichaelGLFlood Your methods will skew the results. It appears you identified 119 household work items including “contact people” and “car maintenance,” and then weighted them equally. We all know that these are not created equal in terms of time and effort.
Nice try though…

First time using the Clear Petra sheath for mini PCNL. GAME CHANGER!

A brilliant scrub tech recently suggested using dilute hydrogen peroxide in a tough case with extensive, organized clot. It was an amazing response lysing a bladder full of clot in secs. How have I never heard of this? Is this common elsewhere? #UroSoMe #urology @AmerUrological
