What we read while putting away our hoodies and Skittles…

- If you’re not already sick of hearing about Mad Men‘s return, here’s a video of the women of the cast singing (kind of). Also, a look at the double standard fans apply to Don and Betty.
- Should we tax the obese?
- Apropos of nothing, the short story that inspired Rear Window.
