Mad [Wo]men

Jon Hamm and friend

Janet Napolitano and the Department of Homeland Security are being sued for sexual descrimination ... the kind that is entertainingly portrayed in that popular TV series "Mad Men."  Having lived in New York City during the early sixties and having had many Madison Avenue friends, I can attest that this show has it pretty much dead on.  However, this time around, it is alleged that the top female executives at Homeland Security are treating their male underlings with equivalent condescension (see: NY Daily News Story).

I guess, if one lives long enough, one sees most of the cycles of social intercourese (if you will excuse the expression.)  In a very real way this suit might be characterized as "the roosters coming home to chick."
