I love this show. I love mid-century modern. I need to go to sleep now, and I need to calm down.

Don Draper dumps Dr. something (the blond market research chick) and proposes to Megan during Disney World vacation trip with the kids. I am willing to bet that Dr. something will spill the beans about Don / Dick next season, because she was the only one who really new about Don but yet she still loved him. Don / Dick is so dead.

Joan Harris and Roger Sterling got all hot when they got mugged in some seedy part of New York (isn't all of New York seedy)? Anyway, she got pregnant, told Roger that she got rid of it (on account that she's married and all, to a wannabe doctor who was one of the lucky winners of an all-inclusive paid trip to Vietnam during the Vietnam War).

But yet, we see her talking on the phone with her Vietnam War doctor husband, speaking about her "condition" and I almost flipped! Really! (Greggy said I needed to calm down). The girl is so ballsy and I dig that about her!!!

Profile of a Sociopath
Source: Mcafee.cc

* Glibness and Superficial Charm

    * Manipulative and Cunning
      They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors as permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They may dominate and humiliate their victims.

      * Grandiose Sense of Self
        Feels entitled to certain things as "their right."

        * Pathological Lying
          Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and even able to pass lie detector tests.

          * Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
            A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way.

            * Shallow Emotions
              When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises.

              * Incapacity for Love

              * Need for Stimulation
                  Living on the edge. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Promiscuity and gambling are common.

                  * Callousness/Lack of Empathy
                    Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them.

                    * Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
                      Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others.

                      * Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
                        Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc.

                        * Irresponsibility/Unreliability
                          Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blames others, even for acts they obviously committed.

                          * Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
                            Promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts.

                            * Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
                              Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future, poor work ethic but exploits others effectively.

                              * Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
                                Changes their image as needed to avoid prosecution. Changes life story readily.
