@ all: I think Lana Kane first identified Pete as a sociopath on the blog. I'm listening to Lana. We've all thought of him as a weasel, but Lana came forth and named him as what he really is. Lana reminded us of how this type can operate. And Pete Campbell is an operator. Sociopaths may not murder people like Ted…

Wonderful, Hendel. Come join the rest of us when this series ends and we have to do a 12 step program because of it.

I could *see* your illustration and yes, that is very funny. Poor guy, when at a loss for words, do push-ups.

Pete originally was trying to persuade the television executives to show pictures of "Negroes" buying T.V.'s in local papers in order to increase the market share of their companies. The executives declined under the premise that they didn't want to offend their white customers. Pete was not really into civil…

Always appreciate an update, but in this case I might have used it correctly, though by mistake. The crowd that was pushing for SDS had come down to the South to go to the university. They definitely as a group had a collective personality that was like Abe's, sincere but frothy.They had come to a private, Southern…

Yeah, Authority, I picture you on a couch all laid out with a beer can and going B-U-R-P.

Ha! I've been enjoying your posts this episode.

I loved Roger doing that, too. It was so much a part of how men would protect women in public. Courtesies of opening doors, tipping hats, giving up cabs, standing up to give seats, walking on the street side, not using vulgar words around, paying for the drink that you ordered, o.k., lighting your cigarette, sending…

You are right, Lana, "playing" is absolutely the wrong word. The anti-semitism being flung around is like dung which is the state of their mind.

Well, Lexicon, you tried. I've begun to believe that the comments of posters like Easy E are a type of racial narcissim, not unlike that held by white supremists. And you cannot reason with narcissists to change their opinions. They lack empathy. And they cause wars.

P.S. Also, meant to add that one of our projects was to re-work the shabby visitation portion of the divorce decree to allow a more lenient and equal approach. It took alot of work and negotiation. When we finally had it on paper, it was four legal pages long, but it is very similar to what is required today. My…

@Steve: Really enjoyed reading your posts. Need to try to respond more at length when time permits because my parents home was so different when it came to "domestics".

All the 'yout' go AHHHHGH.

Good Lord! Where were you generally? In a dark alley like Joan? Day? Night? That's Xtreme experience with the Knife and Gun Club (expression out of Charity Hospital, New Orleans).

I think it's time to return to work, too.

@E.Buzz Miller: You have your facts wrong. John Hagee "stands with Israel". He's been doing that for 20 years. How do I know? I know the man from the orthodox synagogue who has attended the Stand With Israel Celebration each of those years.

Well, I'm glad the Elektra Complex was brought up and I'll tell you why.
I took my fourteen year old daughter to a psychologist because she was showing some problems over her dad's remarriage and a new baby about to be born. The psychologist told me that children in a divorce will go through life events in a regressed…

Good catch, in retro, Argyle.

I guess no one read my post a few episodes ago on undergarments of the era….oh, well. This was in answer to the Allison/Draper moment. I would bet that Joan probably wore a girdle which had no "snap crotch". They were made with a complete opening at the base where garter hooks were hooked into loops. The garter…

Well, I was looking at her hair. Wasn't everybody else? Next season Joan's hair will be down and long, as will the hairstyles of all the females in MM.
