Icahn to Go Ahead. Yang Under Desk.

According to Reuters late today, Carl Icahn has decided to go ahead with a full new Yahoo board slate tomorrow. Surprise, surprise. Many had thought he would do a partial slate, or maybe just push for change from the outside.

Me? I'm not surprised. I went through Yahoo's current board, asking myself who I would keep if I were Icahn ... and I couldn't come up with anyone. It's a faceless bunch who won't be missed.

In the interim, I have this mental picture of Jerry Yang hiding under Sue Decker's desk.
