From thinkProgress: Fiorina touts insurance plans that cover birth control, but forgets McCain opposes them.

I sent a response a few weeks back when she started lingering about the McCain camp about how Carleton Sneed Fiorina created the corporate environment (i.e. internecine paranoia) that ultimately led to the downfall of the next HP Director hired to clean up her chaos.

Lemme put it this way…

If McCain selects Carleton Sneed as his Veep watch the Silicon Valley money pour in…

…to the Obama campaign!

NPR’s Bob Siegel begins his introduction to the July 1 Michele Norris interview with Wesley Clark with this lofty statement:

We begin this hour with politics, and the power and pitfalls of words.

Some NPR anchors and correspondents keep a ready supply of lofty language for presenting themselves as being above the frays of the lesser beings.

Oh, I hadn’t even noticed the caption. Very good, Attaturk. Maybe somewhere along the line we could come up with something about McCain’s temper and the “No matter what I say, don’t let me out,” scene.

I think they started out hungry with something to prove and then progressed to comfortable and realized that those people they used to criticize really were actually pretty nice. They also had these amazing cocktail wienies.

Quick note Jane,

It would be nice if the StrangeBedfellows site would include a chart showing the growth of $ donations in addition to # of contributors.

Great Ad. Power to the People!

Good points Selise. I would like to add a couple of logs to that fire. Compaq took over Tandem, and then, before the dust had settled from that little deal they tried to absorb DEC (which did make excellent products for what they were).

They almost choked from the DEC thing, and never really recovered. Just as they were staggering like a drunk after last call, HP stepped in and scooped them up.

Everything now has HP’s name on it, except the pool. Which I think still says “Tandem” at the bottom.
