I just got Bravo, and have been catching up on Mad Men. I'm not going to go into how great it is because I'm sure you've heard all th critical acclaim its getting, but here I am, enjoying my 1960's dark drama, and here comes my nemesis, Ayn Rand. I really HATE Ayn Rand. I REALLY want the hours of my life back that I spent reading "The Fountainhead" now I'm freaking out that Mad Men might be some objectivist propaganda. Do I have to go out and read f*cking "Atlas Shrugged" now, too? Wasn't "The Fountainhead" punishment enough? My brain can't take another Randian rape fantasy, please god, no!

I'm thinking though, that perhaps they are treating Ayn Rand the same way they treat smoking, drinking, rampant infidelity, racism, classism, sexism and unprotected promiscuous sex. A fact of the day it was made in, something we see as harmful and foolish now through the lens of time. Since the "Superman" character is Don Draper, and he's miserable, I'm thinking maybe? Peggy's ruthless too, damn. I hadn't had her pegged for a villain, but she's just awful. I'd trust Chuck Bass from "Gossip Girl" or any bad guy from "Heroes" before I'd want to deal with her!
