AFAIK we still live in a democracy where politicians are scrutinized by PUBLIC before they get hired for the post.
FUD is common everywhere, should we succumb to the lowest of standards because of that?
So they are all public fantasies? Yuck.
]]>By the time she was fired, their stock had gone from ~$52/share in 1999 to ~$21/share in 2005, yet she still got a $20 million golden parachute. How do the rest of us get in on something like that. I'm pretty sure I can run a business into the ground, and I think I may be able to do it in less than 6 years! ;-)
]]>Yeah. It's a knock knock joke.
]]>That's both disturbing and intriguing.
]]>That's the best news I've heard all week!
I've been trying for years to get my day job (not at HP) to pay me to leave.
So far all the farther I've gotten is a co-worker who's willing to chip in $5.
And I want to do the same for the great State of California.
]]>Vote Fiorina 'cause you shouldn't condemn the whole program because of one failure.
]]>That has to be the funniest thing I have ever seen on YouTube! I know, factually, that it is a Carly Fiorina political ad but I just can't _believe_ it. At least not yet.
]]>It has to be "what door would the other sentry tell me to use" because nobody would guess it.
]]>She might want to come to the UK I hear the Labour party is looking for a replacment leader and they look on those sorts of failings as positive benifits in a leader (or they have in the past couple)...
]]>She might want to come to the UK I hear the Labour party is looking for a replacment leader and they are not that chosey...
]]>"NOT Since I installed the Samsung Sentry Robot"
Is that the one with the hard coded engenieering password?
]]>"The one that turned HP from a geek's best friend to an ink cartridge seller?"
Make that an "ink cartridge seller to Iran", according to CNN
]]>The one that caused spontaneous dancing for joy in the cubicle farms at HP when she LEFT?
The one that improved HP's stock price dramatically by LEAVING?
The one that turned HP from a geek's best friend to an ink cartridge seller? She closed the division that made my beloved HP-48SX!!
Forget the scales and the duck, just burn the witch!
*sigh*
]]>@joe "Didn't she run HP into the ground?"
Not so much that but this is a woman who paid for detectives (since convicted) to spy on her board and executives of HP. The state dropped her charges 'cause she was sick. Healthy enuf to stump? Healthy enough to stand trial for law breaking.
@Jim L
I did! 5 times! Don't kill me!
Because they have a higher calling?
]]>It doesn't seem to me that terrorism manages to match climate change in death toll.
]]>So if we send home appliances to terrorists they will take each other out? Sounds cheaper than TSA (and good for the economy as well).
The difference is easy - Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get.
Carly Fiorina took hp from a company who's product was the "goto" choice for technology in every market it was in and turned it into Big Lots (in terms of quality, not sales volume).
I replaced an hp scientific calculator with a new one. the new one died within a year, I went back to the old one (27 yo this month and counting and I carry it every day). I replaced a 10yo hp laser printer with a new one. It died too. I will never get another hp. I recently replaced an hp inkjet with a Canon and have been very happy with it.
]]>Wish that were new...
]]>Perhaps we should shore up our own glass houses before casting stones?
]]>Did you see the interview with her regarding printer-ink and national security?
]]>I fail to see how running HP gives her any credentials in fighting terrorism. Is it because you can't say "I ran HP" without "Iran"?
]]>If you believe even an infitesimal fraction of the rhetoric you would conclude that everybody that comes within 100m of your front door is going to hurt you...
Do they actually have so little to say they have to make it all up?
And why oh why in the US has lying about political candidates become a national pastime not just for the loonies but the main stream candidates themselves. What is it in the US psyche that encorages this sort of behaviour and believes its a valid form of political debate?
I could go on and on and....
But what the heck, are people in the US that shallow?
]]>I'm with peri. So much stupid in such a small space. Scary is to this ad like my childhood memories of "childs play" are to Bride of Chucky.
