HP pays, once again, to make Carly Fiorina go away!
Okay, I know this was from february, but I find it amusing nonetheless.

"HP donates cash to Barbara Boxer in opposition to former CEP Carly Fiorina"

Ouch, I knew that HP and former CEO Carly Fiorina had a nasty falling out, but it seems that much worse when money is on the line. Fiorina, as some of you might know, is currently running for California Senate as a Republican. In opposition is long time Senator Barbara Boxer, and when it comes to political support, HP knows who they are going to pick. In what must have been a harsh slap in the face, HP has donated the max of $3,000 to Boxer, and even more, HP heiress Arianna Packard has given $2,400 to Republican primary opponent to Fiorina, Chuck DeVore. Not a good day for the former CEO, to be sure.

1. I wonder what my teabagging HP employed BiL thinks about this...
...seeing as he has professed a deep and abiding hatred of Carly Fiorina in the past?

4. She's consistently ranked as one of the worst CEO's in history
CNBC ranked her 19 out of the 20 worst CEO's ever: http://www.cnbc.com/id/30502091/Portfolio_s_Worst_American_CEOs_of_All_Time?slide=3
F*DCompany named her the worst CEO in Silicon Valley history.
Portfolio Magazine named her one of the 20 Worst CEO's in History, placing her neck and neck with Ken Lay.

And on. And on.

And they think California will hire her?
