Just a boy in Astoria...



I'm Mike, I'm 27, and I live in Astoria, NY.

Hopefully the disjointed and seemingly unrelated posts that follow will give you an idea of who I am and what I'm about. :)

I see Newt got hacked…

Hacked isn’t really the word, defaced is more like it. Still pretty funny though.

I figured she was talking about the insane traffic today, but it had a lot of comments, so I checked them out. My jaw dropped. She’d posted the status right as she got to work today, so I had to come back from my break and work with her for the next 5 hours.”

And you, Alexis, are an ignorant racist cunt.

Newt wishes he were currently running against Obama. He’s currently running against Pinocchio’s unlikable older brother.

Newt lacks realistic role models.

New behind-the-scenes photos from the White House from December 2011 (or, as we like to think of it: new excuse to post a photo of Bo).

Today’s news has been depressing, so here’s a picture of the POTUS with his pup.

Federal and state laws ban discrimination against pregnant women in the workplace. And amendments to the Americans With Disabilities Act require employers to provide reasonable accommodations to disabled employees (including most employees with medical complications arising from pregnancies) who need them to do their jobs. But because pregnancy itself is not considered a disability, employers are not obligated to accommodate most pregnant workers in any way. As a result, thousands of pregnant women are pushed out of jobs that they are perfectly capable of performing — either put on unpaid leave or simply fired — when they request an accommodation to help maintain a healthy pregnancy. Many are single mothers or a family’s primary breadwinner. They are disproportionately low-income women, often in physically demanding jobs with little flexibility.

Pregnant, and Pushed Out of a Job - NYTimes.com (via whenrobotsreproduce)

Conservative logic:

Allow pregnant people to safely terminate their pregnancies? NOOOOOO WHAT ABOUT THE BABBIEEZZZ??

OK, give pregnant people rights in the workplace so they can support themselves and a new baby? NOOOOOOO WHAT ABOUT THE JOBS?????

Just further proof — like we needed any — that they only care about fetuses and money.

Aboard his campaign charter plane Wednesday, Mitt Romney sought to clarify a remark he made earlier in the day on CNN about not being “concerned about the very poor” saying his words were being taken out of context.

We have anti-choice women in for abortions all the time. Many of them are just naive and ignorant until they find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy. Many of them are not malicious. They just haven’t given it the proper amount of thought until it completely affects them. They can be judgmental about their friends, family, and other women. Then suddenly they become pregnant. Suddenly they see the truth. That it should only be their own choice. Unfortunately, many also think that somehow they are different than everyone else and they deserve to have an abortion, while no one else does.

Funny that JC Penney thinks hiring an open homosexual spokesperson will help their business when most of their customers are traditional families. DeGeneres is not a true representation of the type of families that shop at their store. The majority of JC Penney shoppers will be offended and choose to no longer shop there. The small percentage of customers they are attempting to satisfy will not offset their loss in sales.

Onemillionmoms.com’s statement complaining about Ellen DeGeneres being the new spokesperson for JC Penny.

What’s really funny is that shaking off the old homophobes and “traditional families” is actually a major part of their brand revitalization. Their new CEO is an ex-Apple executive (it’s the guy who invented the Genius Bar) with some grand plans to make JC Penney into the anti-Macy’s.

And let me tell you, pissing off conservative moms is the first best step to making your brand cool again.
