Hi, Bryan Here…
President Barack Obama, my man, talked about AMC’s hit show ‘Mad Men‘ on last night’s State of the Union address. That means that from this point forward, ‘Mad Men‘ is part of our American History and could be printed in textbooks in the future. I hope in the future, the president will mention ‘The Walking Dead‘, ‘Breaking Bad‘, and ‘Sherlock‘. Can you imagine if he mentioned ‘Sherlock‘ and or ‘Dr. Who‘? If he did, I think the collective geeks of the world would have a super orgasm at once. Below is the transcript of what he said.
“Today, women make up about half our workforce, but they still make 77 cents for every dollar a man earns. That is wrong, and in 2014, it’s an embarrassment. Women deserve equal pay for equal work. She deserves to have a baby without sacrificing her job. A mother deserves a day off to care for a sick child or a sick parent without running into hardship. And you know what, a father does, too. It is time to do away with workplace policies that belong in a Mad Men episode. This year, let’s all come together — Congress, the White House, businesses from Wall Street to Main Street — to give every woman the opportunity she deserves. Because I believe when women succeed, America succeeds. ”
