[Balloon Juice] Balloon Juice » Blog Archive » Or maybe it really is race: By contrast, a majority of blacks and a plurality of Hispanics choose elected officials in Washington. For all that we enjoy the ironic take on our past in Mad Men, consider that those characters are exactly Broder's generation and I don't think there can be much doubt that those values still inform his world view.

Having worked at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for years I have talked with about 10 USSS Agents that have worked Hillary's or the Clinton detail.

[Basket of Kisses] Basket of Kisses | Mad Men, The Home Game: Radio coverage was reported by Allan Jackson (CBS), Don Gardiner (ABC), and Edwin Newman (NBC).

[Feministing] Mad Men Mondays: Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency - Feministing: I watch Mad Men with my Baby Boomer mom, and she chuckled with recognition during both of Betty's Mom Lines (banging your head and boring people), saying, "Grandma used to say that to me all the time." I think Mad Men shows a very accurate portrayal of the parenting style that was in vogue at the time, and is somewhat cross-cultural in that economic stratus. My mom came from a merchant-class Jewish family, but Betty strikes a chord with her just the same.

[Ta-Nehisi Coates] Mad Men fans are effete elitist snobs - Ta-Nehisi Coates: If you watch the show properly, which is to say, if you drink every time Caruso takes off his sunglasses, says someone's name, or is suddenly revealed to be leaning on a nearby car, you will better appreciate its appeal. There's a really thick rulebook to be compiled for this drinking game.

If you’ve clawed your way up from the typing pool ala Peggy in Mad Men, you’re not giving it all up even if you want to.

[Roger Ebert's Journal] Roger Ebert's Journal: The Immensity Archives: But with the rise of netflix and other resources, and with an on-again/off-again commercial theaters showing an occassional Indy film, we got to where we could count on attendance of only a handfull of diehards - not nearly enough to pay expenses. We now show films only on rare occassions and concentrate instead on conducting workshops, hosting a short film festival each October for locally made films and co-hosting a traveling show from the Black Maria Film Festival each spring.
