Gstaad

OK, sports fans! The Davos irrelevance is over, Gstaad is covered with the white stuff, and in St Moritz the Russian crooks are laying a Stalingrad-like siege to the town’s ultra-expensive boutiques. So what else is new? Gstaad covered with snow, that’s what’s new. Let’s start with Davos, where publicity-seekers such as George Soros posed and postured about being against income inequality. What phonies these bums are, just as bad as the Occupy protestors but with two or three private jets and large ugly stinkpot yachts. (Unlike Taki, who has a large but beautiful sailing boat.)

Growth for the sake of growth is a capitalist mantra, and bubbles will always burst after a while, and the Occupy protestors are pissing against a tsunami and there’s nothing they can do except get on the telly for their 15 seconds of fame, which is all they’re looking for in the first place as they have yet to come up with a solution to capitalism’s problems.
