I feel she destroyed the culture of my father’s company … To be fair to Carly, the HP board should have known better when it hired her. If you have a pet bunny and get a pet ferret, you can’t really blame the ferret for eating the bunny. That’s what ferrets do.

Three shark in attacks in Florida, million of sharks in the ocean, and no one will go in the water. Hundreds and thousands of children raped in churches and people still send their kids to church. It’s crazy. You should be sending your kids to gay bars. There they will be be safe.

Tea Bag Leader: I ‘Absolutely’ Would Abolish Social Security
On CNN’s Larry King Live last night, King interviewed two top tea baggers, Dana Loesch and Wayne Allyn Root. When asked about health-care reform, Loesch and Root criticized the new law as being “unprecedented” and “unconstitutional.” King made the point that Social Security is mandatory, and asked if tea baggers would “do away with” it,too. “I would, yes,” said Loesch. Root said he’d rather invest his retirement money.
KING: Would anyone turn away Social Security now? Would you do away with it?
LOESCH: I would, yes.
KING: You would?
LOESCH: Yes, absolutely.
KING: Would do you away with it, Wayne?
ROOT: I’d certainly like to. At best, I do away with it because I could find better ways to spend and save my own $15,000 a year.
Majority of Uninsured Voters Are Registered Independents
Gallup: Most people assume that the health care reform law would mostly benefit Democrats, but new polling finds that among the uninsured, 31 percent are Democrats, 17 percent are GOPs and 48% are independents.
Gallup’s analysis:
Given this finding from Gallup Daily tracking in March, passing health-care legislation did not merely cater to the Democrats’ base, but could potentially expand it among the uninsured themselves, who may now have more reason to support Democrats. Gallup polling immediately after the health care vote found 58 percent of uninsured Americans, compared with 45 percent of insured Americans, favoring the bill.
