On Tuesday, Georgia Senator-Rev. Raphael Warnock earned a full 6 year term in office, beating back the challenge of former football hero Herschel Walker. That gave the Democratic Party a 51-49 edge in the Senate.
That advantage lasted all of 48 hours.
On Thursday, Arizona Senator Kyrsten "Sinister" Sinema decided to leave the Democrats and re-register as an independent.

While I get she disagrees with President Biden and fellow Democrats on a number of issues, she may have written her political epitaph. Stay tuned.

Right before the GOPers take over the House of Representatives, a House Ethics Committee panel is investigating NYC Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over her attire and ticket to the 2021 Met Gala. Yes, Alex From The Block is being investigated by her own party, not the GOPer idiots, but no matter how you look at it, it's a bag of nothing burgers. The "Tax The Rich" dress? AOC returned it after the Gala. She also scored a free ticket to the Gala. To the Democrats investigating AOC, I only have one question.
Jealous much?

I've often told friends how sometimes oddsmakers are morons who set weekly odds so far in advance that they can't be bothered to update their information.
Case in point: Sunday's rematch between the Buffalo Bills and the Jets.
As of Wednesday, the Bills were a 9 1/2 point favorite, despite the fact that Gang Green upset Buffalo last month. The oddsmakers assumed that the Jets would be, as usual, the Jests, the joke of the suddenly potent AFC East, all the way back at the start of the season, and set each week's lines accordingly. Five weeks ago, the Jets were a double digit dog, and won straight up. Not to say the same thing will happen again on Sunday, but this season is not normal, and stranger things have happened.
=================================================
Lost amidst the news that Xander Bogaerts is leaving the Boston Red Sox for San Diego are two things.
1. Bogaerts' departure allows Trevor Story, a free agent pickup from Colorado last off-season, to return to his natural position at shortstop after playing 2nd base last season.
2. On the Padres' side, a clear message is being sent to problem child Fernando Tatis, Jr., who will finish an 80 game suspension to start the 2023 season. Tatis was supposed to be their shortstop of the future, forming a lethal offensive combo on the left side of the infield with Manny Machado. Tatis, whose father was an outfielder with Montreal and the Mets, among others, could wind up with an outfielder's glove when he returns. Unless the Padres dump him first.
