This right here is why I loved the “My mother raised me to be admired”/”Your mother did a good job” moments in last week’s Mad Men. Because Joan truly is admired. As Tom and Lorenzo pointed out, those women are all holding themselves like Joan because she is someone to pattern their behavior after.
Mad Men has always been about how women changed in the 60s, and I think Joan’s story might be my favorite. Here’s a woman who was brought up by her mother to be admired by men as an object. When she finally lands the perfect husband, it goes wrong in a horrific way. She chooses to become a single working mother and to continue to be a pillar of strength in this office. I love that Mad Men has shown how someone can go from being raised to have their worth measured by men to being looked up to by their colleagues and have it feel completely natural.
This guy in that Ron Paul video is talking about how, when Ron Paul wins the election, some people will say that he won’t be able to accomplish anything because no one will work with him, and the guy said that once Paul is in power he and his supporters will use the “power of light” to “identify and expose those that would stand against progress” and the whole thing sounds a lot like the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution.

The Great Fashion War
World War Two could have been started by anything. For all we know, it could have been because Hitler didn’t like Winston Churchill’s shoes that day.

#TeacherProblems
I am so completely not amused by two of my freshmen who think they are both amusing and adorable when they flirt and talk instead of working. I hate yelling at my kids and I feel like that is all I do with them. It makes me so snippy. Why can they not just save their canoodling for some place else?????????
I am in total denial about this because Mark and Lexie are MEANT TO BE OKAY, SHOW???
