Dispatch from Davos

Dispatch from Davos

The World Economic Forum drew to a close this week in Davos, Switzerland. Here is my summary of the events:

Panel 1: Can’t we all get along?

Panel 2: We, the masters of the universe, are at the epicentre of the world.

Panel 3: Brazilian waxes on about solitary talks of approaching landing strip.

Panel 4: Never in the field of human experience was so much exposed to so many.

Panel 5: Russia has been very, very good to me. We should be able to sit down over tea and talk of progress in Russia without it being radioactive.

Panel 6: President Khatami: “For the life of me I don’t understand why you guys don’t trust me. I think it’s a Zionist plot.”

Panel 7: My sick bay or a highway?

Panel 8: Bono: “You’ve got stuck in a moment and you can’t get out of it.”

Panel 9: Water, fresh air, blue skies …. priceless.

Panel 10: Europe wants to win, but not compete. Cappuccino anyone?

Panel 11: What did the one avatar say to the other avatar? I need to get a First Life.

Panel 12: My bottom is bigger than yours.

It will be interesting to see if there will be genuine progress on the Doha round of talks. I was under the impression they were in pretty bad shape.
