So then this post should not have been * Fiorina, Carly, personal political
orientation?* but rather * Fiorina, Carly, does her company follow the law?*

Well, saying *the* Boise employee pretty well runs with the gist of Boise
jokes in general.
Here's the response I sent to Mr. Gary Sielaff. I still can't reliably
control what goes to the list and what does not!
HP has some posters in their buildings showing a picture of a regular guy
with his SUV and dog and other regular guy stuff. Caption is something to
the effect of 'loves to fish, camp, play softball' and other regular guy
stuff. On same poster next to the picture is the same picture again, but
this time the poster says "Gay". These posters were in common areas such as
hallways and break areas.
So, one guy decides to take a copy of this picture and put a few biblical
scriptures below instead of the original HP text. The scriptures were not
offensive by themselves unless you just get offended by scripture, but in
context with the gay implication, they were a counterpoint to the assertion
that gay is OK. He posted it on his outside cubicle wall, if I remember
from the article, where you "couldn't help but look at it if you walked down
the hall. Management asked him, I guess, three times to take them down. He
refused each time. He was fired.
The gentleman is a resident of Eagle, ID.
