Yacrosoft or Michoo – too Icahnish? When America was once prosperous, not too long ago and most U.S. industries had at least a bright near-term economic future, the greedy class of American could enrich themselves privately, away from the media and general public – but, those times have changed. This recent statement in The Washington Post article says it all - “Icahn, who owns a 5 percent stake in Yahoo, emphasized he still believes a sale of all or part of Yahoo may still be the best way for the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company to lift its sagging stock price.” No mention whatsoever has been discussed publicly of what to fix that people don’t like about Yahoo that may be causing the lack of financial windfall that Carl Icahn believes he should benefit from by investing in Yahoo, the well liked consumer based Internet icon stock.

“airball: The corporate version of a cat hairball. Someone who makes lots of noise, disrupts everything, has the potential to make a big mess - but ultimately does nothing.” To be sure, we are referring to the Microsoft hostile takeover fiasco over Yahoo, urged on by Carl Icahn.

This 4th of July 2008 may be the last time many of us Americans may ever feel happy about the 4th of July Independence Day meaning ... as the true American Independence heritage fades more and more each and every passing day as corporate America out-sources domestic careers, not just jobs in which entire U.S. industries become void and gone overseas most likely forever to remote places such as Bangalore, India or SuZhou in China’s Zhejiang Province. It has become clear that the U.S. Economy does NOT grow as a service industry in a globalized marketplace with sustainable careers to support American families.
