AP: With Russell's Help, Shaq, Kobe Make Peace

Exhibit B: Afternoon matinee hockey.
Monday, Jan. 16
Anaheim at Boston, 1 PM
Washington at Phoenix, 4 PM

"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talkin' about."
-- Sen. Hitlery Clinton (D-NY), in Harlem. (Thanks to Laura Ingraham for the heads up.)
