I'll show you wacky. I've been developing this theory that Don Draper (of Mad Men) is dead. I think that's been kicked around some by fans. That's not the wacky part, this is: I think the death happened one or two seasons ago -- so that what we are seeing now in subsequent episodes is what the "after-life" looks like to Don, including true interactions with individuals who (though they haven't died yet in the herebelow) also exist in the afterlife. Perhaps we have counterparts at all (gulp) levels (if we are talking about realms which are outside time).Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13720790978632771716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-38662370776149127322015-05-05T05:27:29.048-07:002015-05-05T05:27:29.048-07:00On a tangent, reading the comments over there sudd...On a tangent, reading the comments over there suddenly makes me appreciate the Coonosphere ever so much more.

We are mostly armed and shoot back! Yea Haw! I have noticed the media trying to make this about Geller! This is about an Islamic Terror Attack in Texas, on U.S. soil! With the intent to kill with malice aforethought. What next? Do we shift the blame on all those Christians who deserved to be caged, burned alive, beheaded because Islamic Terrorists were provoked when Christians made the 'Sign of the Cross' in public... Or Jews wore a skullcap in public... OR...
