Also we only have to take a month to talk about each of them in history class because all the accomplishments of the white menz take up the rest of the year!

That's an interesting article, and it has some of the most polite, responsive comments I've ever seen online.

MM Season 3 interview with Matthew Weiner: [link]

"... I am always surprised that no one asks me why I was writing about Don Draper. [Laughs] I think it's about admitting the most negative qualities in yourself and how you overcome them. ... I've always identified with Don and Peggy and all of those characters. They're multiple sides of my personality, and I'm thrilled there's an audience out there that's not threatened by investigating what's wrong with us."

Interview with Sally Draper: [link]

I can't believe the actress is really 10 years old, reading some of her responses. She sounds much more mature.

Te-Nesi Coates goes to a great deal of trouble to make that happen. Strongly moderates both his own style and the approach others make. He moderates for tone as well as specific rules.

Here it the link again, so nobody has to hit previous: [link]

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I concur with TB. It really shows that you can have good commentary on blogs, but it takes work. It's like relationships.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I can't believe the actress is really 10 years old, reading some of her responses. She sounds much more mature.

The only answer that pinged me was this:

I think Sally's actually much better than I would be, given her situation. Sally is really, really reserved. Divorce can be terribly stressful and confusing. Add to that an emotionally unresponsive mother and a physically absent father, I think Sally's actions are pretty tame. If I was experiencing Sally's situation, I would be a complete terror of a kid.

But I can imagine that as her just repeating stuff that she's been told.
