So I wonder what investments the bold Rupert is about to make? Earlier this year News Corp attended the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland:

At a session on communicating the climate message, James Murdoch [Rupert's son], Chairman and CEO News Corp.

James also spoke to the leaders of the energy and construction industries on the power of risk-taking and the need for transformational thinking in the energy sector. And in a panel entitled "Advice to the U.S. President," News Corp. Chairman and CEO, Rupert Murdoch discussed the need for infrastructure investments, including a smart electricity grid.

Many on this site are very disappointed that I survived the Pig Pox Plague.

Not to worry though Ibis and the rest of the loons still think the Atlantic is going to rise up and wash me away.

Has the Gordon Brown Plumbing Bill Virus not hit the USA yet? Sky is giving most of its airtime to it so I imagine it's a threat that shouldn't be underestimated...
