Article Raw Story: Melania is being asked to leave NY City

89. Meh - there's such a whirlpool-from-Hell to keep track of, these days, that even the pros are

missing the boat sometimes.

I don't know if you're old enough to remember the Ed Sullivan Show. If so, you may already know what particular act I'm about to describe, but if not...

Every so often, Ed Sullivan, who ruled Sunday nights on CBS with his big-time variety show, would book this act that involved a guy standing behind a row of tall poles, mounted to the floor. He had as many china plates as he had poles. His act involved spinning a plate on the tip of the first pole, and then, once it was spinning smoothly, he moved on to the next pole and set another plate to spinning on its tip. He repeated this all the way down the row of maybe nine or ten poles until all of them had spinning plates on top, and then he'd race back to the first pole to rescue its plate from running out of speed and wobbling towards its crash-to-the-ground death.

And so on. It quickly became high drama - OMG! Is our hero gonna get back to the first one so it doesn't fall? The orchestra, in the meantime, was furiously playing Khachaturian's Saber Dance through the whole bit.

By the end of the act, you were freakin' EXHAUSTED, just watching this guy! Even though he somehow NEVER failed, and never dropped a single plate. Kept 'em all spinning, throughout.

That's how I suspect the working press feels, trying to stay on top of all this trump shit that starts spinning out of control from the wee hours onward, EVERY day.
