Today’s installment of 20 Questions features Darla, from the currently titled She’s A Maineiac. Her site has gone through a couple name changes, some real, some theoretical, but I think she’s settled on this one, as she’s a firm believer in getting the soundtrack to Flashdance stuck in people’s heads. Darla and I, I suspect, […]

Don Draper vs. The Terminator. Or Possibly Kim Cattrall.
AMC, purveyors of some pretty great TV shows, have just released the promotional poster for season 5 of Mad Men, like a plate of bacon before the over-analytical dogs that are the show’s fans.

The Obama administration has asked Congress to approve changing the materials that pennies and nickels are made from, recently. On one hand, you might say “Seriously?
