...debuting Jan. 26), set in the world of men and advertising. It has the misfortune of sharing this subject with the masterpiece Mad Men, though its period (the present) and tone (comedy-drama) are far different. Mason (Eric McCormack) and Conner (Tom Cavanagh) are partners at a Chicago agency, getting by on caffeine and zingers.

We shouldn't even think about new bridges in rural Alaska or rural anywhere when a quarter of our existing bridges are structurally deficient. Before Hurricane Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers spent more money in Louisiana than in any other state - most of it on useless and destructive navigation projects with influential godfathers in Congress - but it never completed those levees around...
