As the day wore on, I got to thinking about the Carly Fiorina piece in the
WSJ.  The whole article was about how she shakes things up but gets results.

Our potential viewer base for our ad has just read an article who quoted
many "whiners" saying, "But that's not the HP way", "We want more control
over our business units" and, "We don't like the new marketing plan".  Of
course, this piece comes out right after a good earnings report for HP.  So
who looks like the forward thinking executive and who looks like the morons?

So what will the readership think of an ad that says Carly isn't doing it
right?  I don't mean to sound like a conspiracy nut, but the timing of this
surely insulates Carly from any negative thing we could say about her.  Of
course, I could be wrong. ;-)
