Today's ZH comment of the day on the Ackman-Icahn spat: "Geeze. I wish I had nothing better to do than take my collection of softball-sized diamonds, roll them up in platinum leaf laced with white truffles, add a drop of skunk oil, then toss them repeatedly at my least favorite neighbor, who's made a habit of cutting his 30-acre lawn with a 1931 Bugatti dragging genuine swords from the Ming Dynasty, while a supermodel gently perched on his lap pours Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru into 20 oz. Dixie cups.

It's not his ostentatious display that pisses me off, you understand, but the fact that he does this yard work while the Vienna Philharmonic, hired specifically to accompany this weekly chore, is asked to play Shostakovich's 7th, rather than his far superior 5th symphony. Clearly a poseur!"
