@Cimorene: No, Joan's no child. She may not always be likable, but she is a grown-up. Peggy is the only truly good major character on the show. Carla and probably some others are too but I don't consider them major. Harry is close. He tries to be good but he is weak. #madmenrecap

@SisterCarrie: Or maybe we should call him Captain Rapist now, as a sign of respect. #madmenrecap

I'm late to the thread and love reading these observations. I am sorry if I missed this but I haven't seen anyone mention two things that struck me powerfully. One was Betty sitting at her father's desk, every bit as in command as Don in his office. The second was Dr. Rapist - what an asshole - when he referred to…

@pantsless economist...access RESTORED: Absolutely! #foodpolitics

My neighbor switched to buying the smaller size Haagen Dazs bars for her boys. Now, instead of eating one at time, they eat two. Legislate all you want, but it's really hard to change behavior. #foodpolitics

She's not defending Fox, she's being politically astute, something the well-intentioned Obama pups haven't learned yet. #helenthomas

@TransFat: I was thinking the same thing. What legs! #cyndilauper

In other news, Liam Neeson was nominated for Best Actress. #womeninhollywood

@morninggloria: haha. True.

@ElleL: I saw an article saying that Joyce Carol Oates was a favorite, but you just know she had no chance.

The Philistines were active and enthusiastic rapists, so it all kind of fits together.

Looks like Levi. Watch out for Kathy G, kid.

I like Dave Matthews. It hurts me when I hear that John Edwards likes him too.

Lindsay, get used to it. You will hear it again.

What about the whole become a target of the "abducted, raped, and murdered" crowd? Or the work-safe child porn thing? I would add those to my list.

"Moo moo." Heh.

Smart doggy!

So where does "alcoholic mother" fit in to this math?

@UkraineNotWeak: I thought the Jezebel girls were bad, always playing up to Anna and Hortense, but you Deadspin guys just can't get enough editor dick to suck, can you?

@CerebralMagpie: You have a much higher opinion on their survival skills than I do. I have to say that the expression, "Hollywood smarts" made me chuckle.
