And Richie Ashburn was an original met, meaning he was on the 1962 expansion franchise roster. Batted .306 and was the only met in the all star game. That year the Mets were 40-120.

The still do that? With the leg kicks? Sheesh

I can just see the Good Samaritan doc, say an internist, or dare I say, a surgeon jumping up and going to the back of plane expecting some elderly with chest pain and finding instead a nutter muttering nonsense.

They got a good price.

I heard an interview today with an ex mossad deputy director. He was against any publicity on mossad operations but in this case, since everyone in the world knew it was mossad, they decided to go public and deepen Iranian humiliation. Maybe send the Houthis a message. But the main target was and always will be Iran.

Yup. I admit it. Guilty as charged. Summer 2025 I’m dropping down to a three day work week.

Maybe fifty years ago. And I don’t have anything to add to that.

I love being the center of attention

I do clinical work. I teach. Have mentees. Recruit for trials. Talk at conferences. And I’m exhausted. So there.

And none of my kids went into medicine.

Sinwar wanted to change the Middle East on oct 7, and he did, only in exactly the opposite way he had planned.

@jon-nyc said in If Assad falls....:

After today, the only Iranian proxies left standing are the Houthis and the Ivy League.

Lol

Welcome to the neighborhood .

Lot of firearm jokes in the comments.

I think I’ve said this but as we age, this day gets farther and farther back in the mists of time. Last vets that were there will die off. Same will happen to 9/11 in maybe fifty years.

If u prefer a more serious theme (Barbie girl) and some different composers….

Guys got talent, that’s for sure

Notice that my namesake is above such foolishness.

Zamboni. Obviously.

Gaza reaches the NFL?

But don’t people in the audience see the “assistant”. Yes he is hidden to the panel but everyone should be able to see him pass the envelope.

Very simple. Up until recently, the force that upheld Assad was hezbollah. Now they have been decimated and are not available to protect Assad from the Syrian rebels.
