I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nice. I can see Sally growing up to be a masked vigilante. That seems like a viable option for her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Peggy and Megan, and Joan and Peggy especially.

Yeah. Peggy still looking for Joan for validation and Joan now able to give it graciously. Then Peggy turning around and praising Megan instead of being jealous, and trying to put it into perspective for her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Also, I can't believe they got Julia Ormond!

Also: poor Sally.

Seconal and blow jobs. That just sounds like s song title for The Strokes.

Always Anti-fascist!

Typo Boy, Death is his gift. I've been rereading the book "Raylan" and there's a funny part between Boyd and the oil company lady. She says "Go to the nursing home, which we're paying for," and then orders him around about something else. Boyd gets pissed and says "You shouldn't talk like that," Ms. Conlan says "No, wait...we agreed, Mr. Crowder." "It's not about that. You should never end a sentence with a preposition...you should say 'The nursing home for which we provided services." ETA: Mad Men: I liked Roger Sterling a lot this week. You could see the guy Joan fell for.(I've had a soft spot for JS for a long time, and it was nice to see Roger being other than an overprivileged knob.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ooh, is the road clear for Roger & Joan and a happy little nuclear family?

Little notes: Sally with her hair up looks like Betty in her happier Italy vacation days. Loved her instinctively lying about the cause of the trip being the phone wire. We used to do that, too, that thing was treacherous! After a while we were only allowed to drag the kitchen phone cable with us wherever, which means we could only go as far as the coil would let us.

I'm kinda glad that Peggy got the response she did to her announcement about Abe. Anything else would have been unrealistic for the time. And especially when you know that the mom covered Peggy's pregnancy. She's already had to deal with the reality of her daughter's sexual activity. Peggy's successful career was made possible by that gambit, while I'm sure Peggy's mom only intended to protect her daughter's successful later marriage and family. Which she appears now to be uninterested in.

I'm glad that this is the resolution to Peggy and Abe's relationship problems as reflected in the past few episodes. I really like them together and think he's good for her.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Note that in the election, pineapple juice was being handed out, which implied that blowjobs were being given without condoms.

I must ask, how are pineapple juice and blowjobs connected? (unless you mean the idea that pineapple juice makes semen taste better, but I suspect that it would need to be a regular thing instead of right before, but it's been a while)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Anything else would have been unrealistic for the time.

And the Catholic family!

Taken afterwords to get rid of some of the taste. Whether it works, I have no idea.

Yeah, drinking it regularly is supposed to make your semen taste better. I don't think it's really supposed to work on a one-time basis.
