A modern-day Tantalus. Ick.

NOW IS THE TIME ON SHPROCKETS WHEN WE DAHNCE!!!

Also fun game: Watch Mad Men, then Girls. Reflect on how manners have changed over 50 years. Then feel like a slob because in both shows they're better dressed than you (or is that just me...)

Jezebel/Gawker hates it because Jezebel/Gawker gets its ad revenue from pageviews and thinks we will buy its style of Feminist Criticism Lite if enough of its contributors write articles about how they're so offended at the way the show portrays people like them.

Yes! I cannot stop laughing while watching this show. As a member of the core demographic, it reminds me of a lot of painful conversations I had with New yorker friends.

No POC on ABC's GCB??

heightist? I don't know.

Hey, if butt implants are a real thing, no reason bustles can't be.

I'm married to a Canadian and we never get tired of this kind of stuff. The Blue Jays won the freakin World Series! P.S. I love your name

Favorite line: "I don't know what the Canadian equivalent of baseball is, but you hit a home run!" I cackled.

At least it got tons of pageviews for Gawker!

Also, a lot of physicians DON'T accept medicaid for that very reason, which shifts responsibility for treating poor people onto the ERs. Not a good system.

Medicare and Medicaid reform is really the only way to change things in the US. It's too bad the health insurance companies already messed up the reform so far.

You're responding to a general argument with a personal one. Asshole doctors exist because assholes are prevalent in the world, but don't apply that to an entire industry.

Thank you! It's massively wrongheaded to lump all doctors together. There are dozens of sub fields. I worked at a university hospital once where a resident applicant told his interviewer he wanted to be an ophthalmologist so he could golf on Wednesdays. He didn't get the job. This is not a leisure industry unless you…

"The first and most duh of the reasons is money; doctors need patients to need doctors, or they're out of a job and a golf club membership and there goes any hope of getting that golden stethoscope of their dreams."

Yeah, good on her for calling him out on the condescension.

Come to Chicago, we've got Gene's and about a hundred others. It's not a real Polish market unless there's at least four kinds of kielbasa. Gene's has two sections: grocery/meat and vodka.

As someone who also recently got into Mad Men (thanks to the encouragement of other posters here and a pressing need to procrastinate)...it depends how attractive you find the characters. If you're willing to watch them do a lot of brooding and arguing, then there is the payoff from crazy situations/plot twists…
