After the penultimate episode of Mad Men’s Season 3 last week, I realized the show’s dramatic genius lay in the micro collisions, as opposed to the macro historical aspects.
After tonight’s Season Three Finale, please Politiku on the subtleties of Mad Men. I would especially like to read your 17 syllable observations on the fine line between persuasion & manipulation; attraction & repulsion; desire & delusion; reflection & representation.
The deadline for submissions is already passed, however you can…

Moral of the tale
Of Draper Agonistes:
Stop being a Dick.
Here are a few for consideration.
Cheers,
Stephen
We’re still “mad” after
all these years. Will we ever
learn from history?
Dig the retro sets,
man! Where can I score all of
that cool shit? Goodwill?
Wildroot Cream Oil combed,
The world unraveling fast –
Babe, make mine straight up
Small german cars sell
Models frozen by a spell
Credit cards do tell
A little pink-eyed
and fuzzy around the cheeks.
But then aren’t we all?
Gosh, I miss my wife.
It’s not just the sex, It’s the
food preparation.
A man who has had
five Martinis may see things
he has never seen
A man who has had
ten Martinis may see things
nobody has seen
Starched shirts, a.m. Scotch,
San Antonio, New Mexico, home to the Green Chili Cheeseburger
and Conrad Hilton
I’ve been there, its all adobe brown
A 10:00 a.m. Scotch
Draper, Hilton love to F*** beautiful women
Just not their wives
It all falls apart
Draper’s center cannot hold
But his suits look great
