Congratulations to Ozeki Kisenosato on winning his first ever Emporer's Cup. The January Tokyo Grand Sumo tournament has been very exciting and we are now at the final day. Even so, events have conspired to give Kisenosato an early win; last night's upset of Hakuho by rank-and-filer Takenoiwa gifted the Japanese Ozeki his maiden triumph. This is a good thing for sumo because, as a Japanese acquaintance told me, there are too many Mongolians winning everything.

Meanwhile across the Pacific, an orange menace slipped into a white house, all the while pretending to be one of the boys. Draining the swamp by sipping champaigne from the slippers of his Goldman Sachs buddies seems an unusual strategy, but it is hardly surprising. Draining a swamp is commonly done to find if there are bodies and where they might be lying. This one won't even release his tax returns, so, I ask you, what are the chances?

Tonight Kisenasato takes on the great champion Hakuho, the sole Yokozuna left standing. Essentially it is a dead rubber, but, oh, what a match!
