Like others, I’m way behind in my Mad Men viewing — the first disk of Season Two just arrived and I’ve watched the first two episodes. There’s no way I’ll get through this before the season 3 premiere on the 15th so I’ll probably remain a season behind. Hey, I’m a historian, so living [...]

Friday Funny, or, Men: WTF?
This came from hispanic male mention in an earlier post on the Committee on the Concerns of Men (or as another member likes to call it, Men:WTF?)
