Update on Carl Icahn's blogging

You may remember in my post 'An idea whose time has come?' I noted that iconoclast Carl Icahn was launching his own blog on corporate governance.

If you're wondering why it hasn't yet hit the headlines, here's the latest from Reuters:

"... So far, however, readers wanting a fix of the latest Icahn blast on The Icahn Report have been disappointed, with the site simply sporting a dour picture of Icahn with the notation, 'blog coming soon'. At a meeting last night, Icahn explained that he’s not suffering from writers’ block, but said his lawyers are stopping him. 'Every night, I write for an hour and they tear it up,' said Icahn with a sardonic laugh."

Isn't it good to live in a less litigious environment, where we don't typically ask our lawyers to clear every step ... unless you're a lawyer I suppose.
