Carly Fiorina is beginning to look good to me, politically speaking.  Let's see what we can scrounge up on the Carly\/Carla\/Carl\/Karl\/Karla theme.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carly Simon, You're So Vain<\/a>.  Good video. This one goes out to Donald Trump.  I like Trump and his cojones (metaphorically speaking), but a lack of gravitas condemns him.  Reagan had the right blend of cojones and gravitas:  "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"<\/span><\/p>\n

Ray Barretto, El Watusi<\/a> (an old '60s number featured in Carlito's Way<\/em>).  Don't ask me what it means.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carl Wilson, I Can Hear Music<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Karla Bonoff, When you Walk in the Room<\/a>.  The old Jackie De Shannon tune<\/a> from '64.  While we have Jackie cued up: Put a Little Love in Your Heart<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlos Santana, Black Magic Woman<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Another reason<\/a> to like Fiorina:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI graduated from Stanford with a degree in medieval history and philosophy — there is life after a medieval history and philosophy degree,\u201d she said happily.\u200b After graduation, Fiorina said, she was \u201ccompletely unemployable\u201d so she tried out law school.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI was an obedient, goody two-shoes middle child,\u201d she said of that decision, explaining that her parents wanted her to go. \u201cHated law school. Quit law school after one semester. And now my resume reads, \u2018Medieval history and philosophy. Law school dropout.\u201d Fiorina then went to work as a secretary. Six months in, two of her male colleagues saw her potential and asked if she wanted to learn the business.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd still, in 2014, there is no other country on the face of the earth where a young woman can start out as a secretary and become CEO of the largest technology company,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is where the politics comes in. \u201cI\u2019m a conservative because I think our policies unlock potential in people and I have seen too many lives and too many livelihoods sacrificed at the altar of liberal ideology and it happens all the time,\u201d she said. Fiorina talked about the evils of bureaucracies and the virtues of entrepreneurship, education, jobs and freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
