There's a depressing new report making the rounds today which says that almost half of American teenagers looking for work this summer will either not get enough hours or won't get a job at all.

Long ago, back in March, we did a little wondering about what season five of Mad Men might look like.

Of course it's very exciting for us viewers when a major character dies on a television show (or it's sad?
