I was reading Nick Paumgarten's New Yorker article nearly Davos inward the bathtub this morning time , together with ran into this gem:
The Belvedere [hotel] , ... is the annual meeting’s hub later dark. Often , at that topographic point are a half-dozen parties going on at once. To piece of employment inward it ,...you must overstep through airport-like safety ... The describe , on this nighttime , was long plenty that a Nobel laureate inward economic science , who , moments before at the Hotel National , had been belongings forth on unfairness , deemed it worth cutting. 
It would hold upward slow plenty to figure out who it was , exactly I similar the storey ameliorate equally it is , a reflection on the Davos mental attitude , non a snarky comment on 1 individual. (If you lot know , delight don't run it past times outing him inward the comments.) 
 
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 spell dorsum , on a lovely boundary nighttime , I was walking abode alongside my describe of piece of employment solid unit of measurement later dinner out. We observed 1 of Hyde Park's Great Liberal Minds , walking his ill-trained dog. He watched his domestic dog deliver a a large steaming poop , together with walked off , leaving the poop behind.

I opined , "well , at that topographic point goes the Great Liberal; I suppose he thinks at that topographic point is a Federal Department of Picking upward your Dog Poop."

The kids laughed together with dubbed me "Grumpy Economist" on the spot.

Update: I removed a few comments. I actually create non desire this to hold upward personal.
