PsychOps and the Dominant Narrative
The main course of our nightly TV news diet for the last two-three years has almost always been the story of some crazed, irrational blond pinhead and her latest antics. (The two most prominent, BTW, are Republicans.)
The latest in-heavy-rotation version of the can't-get-it-up but-you-have-to-worry-about-a-four-hour-erection pill ad that surrounds the stories of the crazed, irrational blond pinheads features a 40ish, multi-racial man with a woman who has a larger-than-what-you-normally-see-on-TV derriere.
I just thought I'd point that out.
Progress!

I know it's merely used to illustrate your point, but Mad Men is amazing. I've watched nine episodes via iTunes in the last three days.

The last episode --The Wheel-- is the best thing I've seen on TV in decades. Wish I was that clever.

From The Wheel: “This is not a spaceship, it’s a time machine,” he says. “It goes backwards and forwards, and it takes us to a place where we ache to go again.”
I think I get the Dana Perino (sp?) post now!!

You're getting warmer.

BTW: The wheel is a symbol in some of our most ancient religions. But, in the modern parlance, "What goes around comes around."
Or, as I would add, "I don't care if you call it Trance Music. I hated that disco shit the first time around."
