  10. Well, they do have a procedural precedent: The Justice Minister and the head of the Department of Corrections and other concerned bodies have met before to discuss Thaksin's final destination within the Justice system. So, I guess in the name of equal justice for everyone, poor old Police Hospital will have to clear out another floor, again...
  11. It's funny how Mr Danucha felt the need of having to translate his statistics into a simple conclusion. I'm guessing his target audience was the government, which would explain that.

Time for a holiday!

  19. Why the community? Education department enjoys a very large piece of the budget.
  20. What reason would a monk have to self-publish his good deed story on Facebook? Making sure Buddha notices?
