Can someone please explain what a Honky is and how is it an insult?

The only time I’ve ever heard the word Honky used was in a Xmas carol sung by former Maple Leafs Goalie Johnny Bower called “Honky the Christmas Goose” (Spoiler Alert: He got so fat that he was no use. Till he learned how to blow his nose, honk the way a goose nose blows).

What would colour your opinion that way?

That was probably Louise Arbour. Shes kind of a big deal in the prosecuting of war criminals scene. I had the chairman of ICI paints at my MBA graduation.

Is Nashville based on the movie Nashville which was based on the city Nashville, which was founded by Graham Nash?

Did John Hodgman’s character say “I think I have all I need to make my ruling”? If so, great shout out to all the Hodge-heads out there.

But he could do so much more, such as going after DOMA, not just putting into the footnotes of his platform, or GASP pushing for a constitutional amendment.

Look, I have no dog in this fight. I’m a Canadian heterosexual, who voted for Stephen Harper and Rob Ford (I do apologize for the Rob Ford thing, that was dumb), so I may seem extremely ignorant of the political reality in the US, but what is right is right. That being said, if the President can’t use his position as the head of one of the Democratic party and the bully pulpit to forcefully push for equality, then perhaps the President is just a glorified Comptroller with a nuclear arsenal.

Youre really bucking for that lowest rated comment award

The steadicam was invented by James q. Steadi in 1976. It allows for the versatility of a handheld camera with the smoothness of a dolly.

Wow, The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has some weird hobbies

You may be thinking of when Conan hosted SNL. He played an old-timey boxer who gets pummeled by a black boxer.

This may be a minor quibble, but as a Canadian I was slightly taken aback by the “I’m not French, I’m Canadian!” line. Since this is probably taking place during the Quiet Revolution/’Maitre Chez Nous’ movement, you would think that a character with a mother that only speaks french would say “I’m not French, I’m Quebecois”. Yes, I realize that not all Quebecois are die-hard nationalists, but could have added some interesting texture in contrast to the civil rights struggles of the period. A rare miss on the details Mad Men.

I also find it interesting that a character who seems unequivocally nice/kind/not a shrew needs to be seen as having an ulterior motive by the audience.

Even though I’m Canadian I still have a strong interest in American Politics mostly because of the stakes and drama involved (although Canadian politics is starting to get interesting; google Pierre Poutine). I read the movie as more of digression of what has happened to half of the political spectrum since 2008. Sarah Palin was the test case for how empty headed know-nothings with focus group tested platitudes could have a real chance of being in control of nuclear arsenal by focusing fear and hatred at the “non-real America”.

Obviously, that’s nothing new to point out though(abortions for some, miniature american flags for others).
