I heard about the keeper making the save. It's probably the best save he'll ever make.

Sounds like it's finally time to revisit the Potato Famine.

That's certainly at the root of our problems. A hard one tuber, without a doubt. Need a thick skin to stalk about that one.

Thank the Great Pixie for this! She'll be home in time for Christmas.

News Alert: WNBA star Brittney Griner released from Russian detention in prisoner swap for convicted arms dealer


WNBA star Brittney Griner has been released from Russian detention in a prisoner swap for convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Griner is now in the custody of American officials, a US official told CNN. President Joe Biden is expected to speak at 8:30 a.m. ET, the White House said, though it did not immediately specify the topic.

The swap did not include another American that the State Department has declared wrongfully detained, Paul Whelan.

I propose that we Americans trade Harry and Meghan for Paul Whelan's safe return and an additional compensatory draft pick. Russia can have them.

Nah, they live in Cali as far as I know. I was hoping Russia would take them and then squash any and all journalism and news reports about them.

If only. Dude is an American hero. Trump talked about draining the swamp but didn't have the balls to pardon Snowden or Assange even when he knew he was on his way out.

News Alert: Biden signs into law same-sex marriage bill, 10 years after his famous Sunday show answer on the issue


President Joe Biden signed into law Tuesday landmark new federal protections for same-sex and interracial couples, capping both a personal and national evolution on an issue that’s enjoyed growing acceptance over the past decade.

Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act before thousands of invited guests on the South Lawn at an event the White House said reflected the importance of the moment.

The new law officially voids the Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman. It mandates that states honor the validity of out-of-state marriage licenses, including same-sex and interracial unions.

As a senator, Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. The bill signing Tuesday amounted to the culmination of his transformation on the issue.
