And this is where it breaks down for me. Don't want to provide total heath care? Then don't fucking take federal funds.

Many of these institutions take federal dollars. Long as they take federal money, they can damn well treat everyone.

Swoon! Hooray! Thank you Eldritch Gods!

Wow, just wow. I mean, really? Okay, I am totally at a loss here.

I love the Sugar stuff, too. It's the only thing that works for me all the time. Yeah, it's hella expensive, but worth every penny.

I heart and love your completely accurate assessment of this cad.

This. So hearted.

I think it's very dear that you feel so touched by happiness. I think it means you're capable of great joy. I cry at the drop of a hat, too. And I also get choked up at musicals, seeing people dance, commercials, and certain kinds of music. I think you're wonderful!

Oh, also the waiter who Don asks about his smoking habits in one of the early episodes in Season 1 is black. But you make a good point, that there would be more black people in this very white world than we see. (I'm none too fond of the treatment of Jews in the show either. It's always seemed very heavy-handed and…

Please read "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. He's a security expert whose dealt with stalkers of celebrities for years. He has a great insight into trusting yourself and your gut reaction to people. He also has very good suggestions for dealing with stalkers.

'The Women" was based on a play by Clare Booth Luce who had an amazing career as a writer, journalist, and politician. It's one of my favorite films. And yeah, the Meg Ryan remake is dreadful.

Actually, there have been two black characters on the show. The Draper's maid, Carla, who is far more emotionally available to the Draper children than their mother Betty. And Harry's girlfriend (seen briefly during Season 1 or 2.) But things were still profoundly segregated in the early 60s, and it's so telling…

Don't these slatterns know? First the clavicle, next the back of the neck.

I'm with you, yowsa. I think it's beyond tawdry. She's a child who's being exploited by her parents and her dreadful husband. Enough already.

You know, back when the earth was still cooling when kittybaby1958 was a young thing, white-haired, entitled, butt monkeys like this littered the earth. Now that I am an oldish woman, I thought these fuckers had died off. Guess I was wrong.

No. Just, no.

I think you said it perfectly in point 1. The issue isn't the girls being in a state of undress, it's that these are employees of the airline in states of undress, giving rise to a perceived notion of sexual availability on the part of those employees.

Mr. rottenkitty and I went to an awards show in L.A. in December. Every single girl at the show — including ones who weren't there as talent, — were all wearing some version of these dresses. Ob-Gyn-exam-gown-short, tight fitting, shitty fabric monstrosities.

My theory is that they shot her nude and digitally added the suit later.

Sadly, half-assed is the point here.
