Yang gets paranoid about Voles under the bed

Tin foil hat time
Wednesday, 9 July 2008, 11:33

YAHOO chairman Jerry Yang has been trying to rally support from shareholders by invoking the spectre of the Microsoft menace.

Sporting his favourite tin foil hat, Yang accused the shareholder revolt of being part of a cunning plan by Volish fifth columnists to "destablise" his glorious reign.

As the August Yahoo annual meeting approaches, Yang has been attacking lead revolter Carl Icahn. He said that they should stop the diversions already and let him do his job.

Talking to the WSJ he said he could bring stability back to Yahoo, but the destabilising by Microsoft has become "more intentional".

He said he was not happy about it, and Vole's offer for huge wodges of cash for the company had very little "gas in the tank." µ

I Agree

I agree this is precisely what Microsoft has been trying to do. No questions about it. No tin foil hats needed. This is old school destabilization and then hostile take over where they then chop up the company and fire all the employees. Period.
