SAN JOSE, Calif., May 17, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Project HIRED, whose job search, training, career development, and employer services have helped thousands of people with disabilities for more than 30 years, today announces Carly Fiorina as the keynote speaker for their 25th Annual Recognition Breakfast on Thursday, May 20, 2010, celebrating disabled workers and veterans. This annual event brings together the business community of Silicon Valley, including community leaders, public officials and representatives from many leading Fortune 500 companies to celebrate outstanding achievements within the Project HIRED community.

"Project HIRED and its new program, the Wounded Warrior Workforce, are tangible examples of what is possible when the private and non-profit sectors come together to address mutually relevant issues," said Fiorina, current candidate for the Republican nomination for United States Senate and former chairman and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Company. "Project HIRED proactively and innovatively partners with the Silicon Valley business community to achieve its mission, leveraging this region's talent, technology, and people to help disabled workers and veterans achieve their professional potential. I'm honored to be part of this Project HIRED tradition and encourage the entire Silicon Valley business community to join us."

The two-hour breakfast program recognizes the talent and dedication of the Project HIRED community, which includes corporate sponsors, volunteers, employees, and clients. Highlighting the event is the public announcement of the new Project HIRED Wounded Warrior Workforce program. The keynote by Fiorina will focus on the potential of the unique partnership between Project HIRED and the Silicon Valley Business community.

"It is our pleasure to welcome Carly Fiorina and have her join this annual acknowledgement of our community's achievements and public announcement of our new Wounded Warrior Workforce program," said Gwen Ford, director of Project HIRED. "To have a leader of her experience and accomplishment in Silicon Valley address our audience of corporate sponsors uniquely honors our commitment to celebrate the businesses and local leaders that support us in so many ways all year, every year."

1. Are you shitting me? Series, are you SHITTING me?

This is like having George W Bush as a speaker for National Council on US-Arab Relations.

People need to protest this travesty.

3. It's a disgrace

She shouldn't be allowed to profit from ANY "celebration" of those who are employed. She should be sunning herself on a rock somewhere, like the fucking lizard she is.

5. Horrible insult to lizards. nt

2. I thought it was The Onion

Disturbing to discover it is reality.:banghead:

4. One of those 33K was my brilliant nephew whose unit made kajillions for HP

7. So basically the Demon Sheep is using people with disabilities as props

:grr: :banghead: :nuke:

Is anyone going to ask her how she feels about impending cutbacks that threaten to force thousands of disabled Californians into nursing homes? :shrug:

8. Carly Fiorinoa has no God-given right to do anything but be called out at every opportunity.

Add me to the list of volunteers for that task. BTW, I think S/He might just approve of doing so; S/He doesn't take too kindly for others speaking for Him/Her.

9. The thing that killed me the most in the month and a half that I worked there...

...was that I was a contractor, I knew I could pack up my tent and get the hell outta Dodge when my assignment was up.

But the day-to-day LOOK on the faces of the people I worked with...the sheer, consistent lack of anything remotely approaching "joy"...

...this woman is the Leona Helmsley of high tech. She's a failure in every possible sense of the word, and is so drunk on power and influence that she couldn't just take her HP golden parachute and leave.

She tried riding McCain's coattails to no avail, until she shot off her mouth one too many times and was kicked to the curb. Face it, if a failing campaign asks you to leave, what kinda failure does that make you?

I just can't see her going the distance on this. Between Fiorina and Meg Whitman, California has turned into the "WTF State." They should consider embroidering it onto the state flag. Why would any right-thinking person even consider giving either of these two trainwrecks the keys to the car?

:patriot:

10. Don't forget Ahh-nuld

the pionner of WTF. :eyes:
