The document is a forward from Thomas L. Friedman's article titled "Why Not in Vegas?" published on July 31, 2012. The main topic of the article is Mitt Romney's visit to Israel during his presidential campaign. In the article, Friedman questions why Romney's trip to Israel was focused on satisfying the political whims of the right-wing and American Jewish casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, rather than learning about the country. He also observes that much of what is wrong with the U.S.-Israel relationship today can be found in Romney's trip.

The J.P. Morgan View discusses how US elections have affected asset allocation, economic outlooks, and market risks. They believe that the equity market has priced out a Romney win scenario and that medium-term equities and credit are still overweight despite volatility caused by the fiscal cliff negotiations. The focus is on EM Asia, Cyclical stocks, and US Home builders for overweights in equities. Fixed income should see yields head higher with an emphasis on spread compression trades. They recommend being long the dollar during fiscal cliff negotiations and remaining medium-term overweight both credit and equities against cash, government debt, and commodities, as they do not think an Obama victory changes economic outlooks or risks significantly.

In the late 1970s, the author was torn between their role as an underground abortion referral service and a stand-up satirist who performed jokes about rape. After Roe vs Wade legalized abortion, they believed it would never be made illegal again, but in 2012, they became disillusioned with the right-wing religious conservative movement's attempts to re-criminalize reproductive rights. The author eventually dropped a controversial joke that involved the "rape-in" of legislator's wives after receiving backlash from feminist friends. In July 2012, a woman who prefers to remain anonymous went to a comedy club and sparked widespread controversy by expressing her disapproval of rape jokes being performed at the venue.
