Similar to World Wrestling Entertainment, in which a last minute revelation between two contenders adds a penultimate twist to the ensuing battle, or, likewise, similar to the endless last minute made-to-order epiphanies in Soap Operas, politics too is taking on a melodramatic entertainment value. The Drudge Report’s Matt Drudge has initiated rumors that lawyer Gloria Allred will reveal an “October surprise” aimed at shooting down Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
“Here she comes,” tweeted Drudge. “Hearing Gloria Allred out there again, about to make a move. After all, it’s her time of the campaign. Team O at the ready!!”
Whatever the secret or scandal, it might take the pattern Allred used when GOP Meg Whitman was running for governor of California. Allred represented a former housekeeper who claimed she was fired for being an illegal immigrant. Whitman lost the election to Democrat Jerry Brown.

The New York Conservative blog, The Red Side of Life, takes such shenanigans seriously, writing, “Gloria Allred Prepares Anti-Mitt Strike You can STOP Her Now! (action!) Don’t underestimate Gloria Allred’s ability to inflict damage.
“The media will ‘eat up’ anything she feeds them and turn it into an endless scandal. Recall she took down Cain and RINO Whitman with NO EVIDENCE. We’re doing too well to risk ‘an Allred.’ She can be stopped, but it will take action on our behalf.”
Other conservatives are less mollified. Donald Trump spoke to TMZ, saying, “I hope its Gloria Allred. She’s close to incompetent … she’s a terrible lawyer,” and he referenced a skirmish she brought against him.
Trump spent some time in equally ambiguous talk of his own revelation, this one against Obama, scheduled to be exposed Wednesday. “It’s very big,” he said, without explaining at all what it is, or even how either party would react to it.
With such last minute reversal and twists of the plot, the elections is promising to be an especially entertaining bit of what we sometimes call “the News.”

Law firms of all sizes are being much more selective about who makes equity partner. Gone are the days where doing good work and putting in your time is enough to get you to a profit sharing level. Today, equity partners almost always have to prove that they can contribute their share to the firm. So what does this mean for associates and how can a two-tiered partnership track be beneficial? With a two-tiered partnership structure, associates get more time to prove themselves and also more time to determine whether partnership is the right goal for them. Two-tier partnerships (non-equity and equity) exist so the firm can train and develop associates into equity partners. The non-equity track to partner at most firms is on average, 6 years long. [...]

The dynamic duo of Romney and Ryan would drive the entire economy into a nose dive as long as it benefits the richest Americans. They’ll even destroy our beloved Big Bird and anything government-funded which stands in the way of making the rich richer. Income inequality is endangering the Middle Class and making paupers of us all who don’t have those millions upon millions of dollars. The working class of our country can’t AFFORD to allow this election to be bought and sold!

Entertaining to say the least. It would be funny if elections weren’t so important.
Hopefully the media will do their job properly and cover issues that matter most to the American people.
