Betty Draper's Guide to Parenting

Mad Men is back for season 4, and in addition to all the drinking and smoking, we get to see how parenting was a little different back in the 1960's. Betty Draper illustrates how to be a 60's mom who is completely uninterested in the children's self-esteem.



Here are some key links to "Mad Men" coverage, reviews and discussion on the web:

Top 10 horrible sports parents




Who knew Cracked magazine could be funny? Who knew Cracked magazine even still existed, especially on this inner net computer thing?

But it does exist, and this compilation of the Top 10 Psychotic Overreactions by Adults at Youth Sporting Events is funny.

I would have ranked the child poisoner a little higher, but that's nitpickery. No need to hire a hitman over it.
