Fay, I heard on NPR this morning that the official reason the Thai PM was sacked was because he hosted a cooking show while in office -- is that true?
Yes.
How awesome is that?
Of course, the real reason he's been sacked is that he's seen as a Thaksin stooge, and the PAD have been demonstrating like crazy (and making some fairly unlikely demands). But the ostensible reason is that he's hosting a cooking show, which constitutes a conflict of interests.
!!!
...see where I said that I have
never ever ever
been anywhere in the world where they were more obsessed with food? I think that this, right here, says it all.
Thai food can lead to obsession outside of Thailand, IJS. Also, awesome. It would be refreshing if our politicians' conflicts of interest were so tasty.
My suggestion is that you look into a GPS
Just remember to put it in the glove compartment when you leave the car - I'm sure mine isn't the only neighborhood where GPS units on the dashboard are considered invitations to break the windows and take them.
OMG! WANT! BOOTS!
t awash with boot-lust, me hearties!
I'm sure mine isn't the only neighborhood where GPS units on the dashboard are considered invitations to break the windows and take them.
No, it is happening everywhere.
GPS units are being stolen everywhere, but (mine, at least) is small enough for me to slip into my purse or into the glove box. We've never actually put the holder-mount onto the dash, since that seems like advertising you have one. I just keep it next to me in the door's pocket, and I can hear her talk or take it out if I need to look (which is pretty rare, actually).
Ah tantrums. Em had a doozy of one this morning. Fall seems to have just run into the state and sat down to stay. No gradual dip in temp - just "HI! I'M HERE! IT'S COLD AND RAINY!" So we had to get out the Dreaded Pants this morning. I'm not a fan of forcing anyone to wear something they don't like, but she has no clean dresses and she has no tights. These are things we have to shop for. Screaming, yelling, kicking, wriggling, "PANTS ARE NOT FOR GIRLS THEY ARE FOR BOYS! I AM NOT A BOY I WANT TO BE A GIRL!"
I finally took over to give Joe a break and convinced her to wear them because they have foxes on the pants and the shirt like Tod, in
The Fox and the Hound.
Must. Buy. Dresses and Tights.
Of course, the real reason he's been sacked is that he's seen as a Thaksin stooge, and the PAD have been demonstrating like crazy (and making some fairly unlikely demands).
Right -- but using the cooking show to bring him down just makes me laugh.
