Carly “Fire ‘em All” Fiorina wants to be fair

Posted by Tengrain Monday, November 26th, 2012

“Let us accept Rev. Al’s point and the president’s point about fairness,” Fiorina replied. “But equally, it is not fair that public employee union pensions and benefits are so rich now that cities and states are going bankrupt and college tuition is going up 25 and 30 percent or police and firefighters are being cut. There’s a lot that isn’t fair right now.”

For the record, Fiorina is the person who started the first big wave of technology mass-firings and off-shoring to low-wage counties like India and China. During her brief tenure at HP, Fiorina fired over 18,000 employees and coined the phrase Right-sizing to dismiss it. When the Board canned her, she got a very fair $43 Million golden parachute for her troubles.

One of the horsemen of the apocalypse is saddling up in the Fox Barn

Posted by Tengrain Monday, October 18th, 2010

The end is near, as they say, when Chris Wallace on Fox actually does his job and presses a GOPer to answer his question about entitlement cuts, and the GOPer (iCarly Fire’em All Fiorina) avoids answering it. He repeats the question 7 times.

We give credit where it is due here at MPS, and we want to encourage the pundits to do their job.

Shameless booze-hounds run for California office

Posted by Tengrain Monday, October 11th, 2010

We should have figured out iCarly and eMeg’s weakness earlier, but it explains a lot: they are mean drunks who cannot hold their liquor, or so says Internet story teller, Talking Points Memo:

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Fire’em All Fiorina gets so hopped up on the juice that she does the annoying trill thing you find in every college bar in Tijiuana, and eMeg is just such a joiner once she gets partying, just giving into peer pressure from the other Mean Girls. I’m guessing that there must be some great video of these two broads hitting on the busboys and maybe flashing for beads at Senior Frogg’s.

I’m sure this must mean something…

Posted by Tengrain Monday, September 27th, 2010

…but I’m not sure exactly what.

Californians are left with a deeply unsatisfying choice for the U.S. Senate this year. The incumbent, Democrat Barbara Boxer, has failed to distinguish herself during her 18 years in office. There is no reason to believe that another six-year term would bring anything but more of the same uninspired representation. The challenger, Republican Carly Fiorina, has campaigned with a vigor and directness that suggests she could be effective in Washington – but for an agenda that would undermine this nation’s need to move forward on addressing serious issues such as climate change, health care and immigration.

It is extremely rare that this editorial page would offer no recommendation on any race, particularly one of this importance. This is one necessary exception.

The SF Chronicle has decided not to endorse anyone in California’s US Senate race.

While I am not neutral here, Boxer has always been a consistent liberal vote, and so I considered her to be the counter-balance to our very hawkish other senator, DiFi. On the worst issues they cancel each other, on the best issues they vote in tandem.

So when the Chron cannot make a decision, I honestly wonder… is this another sign of the Death of the Media? If the Chron is saying that they see no difference between Boxer and Fiorina — and how else do you interpret that editorial — here in the lovely liberal island of the SF Bay Area, then what does it say about the rise of false equivalencies in the media?

Money Can’t Buy Me Love…

Posted by Tengrain Saturday, September 25th, 2010

…and according to the LA Times, it cannot buy E-Meg and Carly “Fire’em All” Fiorina elected office:

Brown, the former governor and current attorney general, held a 49%-44% advantage among likely voters over Whitman, the billionaire former chief executive at EBay.

Boxer, a three-term incumbent, led Fiorina, the former head of Hewlett-Packard, by 51%-43% among likely voters in the survey, a joint effort by The Times and the USC College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

I keep saying this, but even here in Silicon Valley where we generally love capitalism and our swashbuckling CEOs, I know of no one–even my GOP friends–who like either of these candidates.
