“Yep... one helluva job! BTW, how is Lucent doin’ today?”

Lucent’s stock value (and their earnings) were outstanding when she was there. Blaming her for Lucent’s fall years after she left is a bit silly. Why not blame Chrysler’s problems on Lee Iaccoca while you’re at it?

Yes..I hesitated on that as well. Duly noted: I always use an "h" when I should not and eliminate as well.

Governor Palin's name has an "h". The SARA, also called the SuperChip, is a 128 byte RAM chip which was used in some of the later Atari cartridges for the Atari 2600 Video Computer System (doubling the RAM made possible such games as Millipede, Dig Dug, Solaris, etc.). I do not know if it's an acronym (something-something-RAM-something?) but my immediate thought when I saw the title is that if Gov. Palin was the "Super-Chip" that would be a neat coincidence. Well, it seems she's not, but I was curious if I'm the only guy here who would even think of such an esoteric reference.

"Perhaps she can find another company to ruin."

She already trashed out two (three if you count Compaq and Hewlitt as two).

How many chances does she get?
