who's your daddy now, Thaksin?

how about you, Sutep, starting to feel some "love" for farangs?

politicians: hypocritical arse-covering loudmouthed cowards

The athletes later set up a trap by hanging an underwear as a bait

carrot on a stick...

Provisional Internal Royal Thai Police Force Security Plan:

1. All officers to stay at home and watch TV

if you really, really have to go to one of the venues:

2. stay far back, close to an escape route

3. DO NOT RESPOND! (be busy on the phone with a look fixed to the horizon!)

4. If you hear a loud noise "do a Chalerm" (run like hell)

5., 6. and 7. are still being planned (suggestions via facebook are welcome)

Chalerm the back-door-man, who would have thunk it!

Capital punishment is wrong and barbaric no matter the crime. It will be a great day when Thailand join the ranks of countries that abolishes the death sentence.

I agree and I recall the trial of the 9/11 hijacker Zacarias Moussaou where the death sentence was requested by the prosecution. On May 3, 2006, a jury decided against the death penalty for Moussaoui. The next day, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. As he was led out of the courtroom, Moussaoui clapped his hands and said, "America, you lost... I won." Judge Brinkema responded by telling him that he would "die with a whimper" and "never get a chance to speak again." They refused to make him a martyr and he now sits alone in a cell for the rest of his life.

In the case of Zacarias Moussaou, there exists a chance he might be released in the future, since the future is not known...an execution is final.

Re: martyrdom - that's just a religious myth invented by clerics to justify and glorify a fanatic's death to the rest of the herd "inspired" by it. "Martyrdom" is a human invention, a sham and a means to "reward" a follower's sacrifice with absolutely nothing.

Thai Rak Thai to Death

Pheu Thai Party spokesman Prompong Nopparit

"If there is no law and order, the country will be seen as a failed state,''

His only worry is how Thailand looks in the eyes of farangs...farang power!

So they DSI told them that they could go in as long as they break in themselves?

And then they changed their mind and let them in anyway?

yes, and after they left the DSI issued a warrant for the monk...

pretty much all Thai officials and agencies are howlingly funny

Yingluck, who is also the defence minister, urged the Armed Forces to take good care of their weapons and ensure they would not be stolen during this time of high political tensions

"Just treat your weapons like I treat my handbags...I always know where they are and have never had one stolen, ever!"

Brilliant deduction Watson. Now can you tell us some we don't know. Like who did it.

But some Thai Visa experts have determined that it was a crime of passion or a bad business deal anything but politics because that could implicate the gentle peace loving Suthep and his supporters.

Personally I think I will go with the BIB on this one.

If the victim were a farang, it would have been deemed a suicide attempt...

This just in:

The Center for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO), formerly known as CAPO, has undergone another name change. Labor Minister Chalerm Yubamrung heading the center declared:

"Boys'n gurlz, letsch jusss call it what it iiss...CCMM, Center for the Creation of Mischief and Mayhem, hic! That's all, ffolkes!"

The commerce minister begged the EC to understand the need of the government to pay farmers who are suffering from late payment.

He said if the EC is “cruel” and rejects its request, the government a contingency plan to cope with.

The government gets it wrong a lot: they go begging at the wrong organization, they go to the wrong court for rulings that can't apply, they give special trade status to Montenegro..., but...

...they also get it right: hmmm, I had an example...it's on the tip of my tongue...ouch, damn, wrong country....uh, sorry...

The Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO)

Before you can start maintenance on something, you first have to have it...

There is just no stopping the steady production of oafs, fools and related talents for Thai leadership, be it red shirt, yellow shirt, or no shirt, protest groups or government. It's a steady stream of loud mouthed numb-nuts and dimwits vying for spotlight and position.

I don't care anymore about who leads Thailand, I'm only now interested in the entertainment they can provide me. Thanks for the stand-up comedy however unintentional, especially thanks to Chalerm, that man is a classic!

At the press conference, Chalermsak said he had never thought the march would cause a problem.

He said it was only meant to promote democracy, insisting that the move did not have a hidden political motive.

Impeccable timing, Mr. 'squirming like a toad'...

So where is the photo of Dirty Harry..... Can't wait for that one. Are they sure it wasn't a water pistol?

Dirty Harry: I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots, or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being that this is a BB gun, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?

A senior commander, Pol Maj-General Wicharnwat Borrirakkul, also warned people not to speculate on who the suspect may work for. "As long as the suspect is not arrested, don't just speculate," he said.

I agree. Once the suspect is arrested by the clueless police and subsequently silenced, then the people have permission to speculate to their hearts content.

Police 'clueless' about grenade attack, would welcome tips

Why oh why should I give a gratuity to a clueless police? The service charge should be included!

1. With all these unsurpassable talents, brain trusts and think tanks assembled to advise the PM, how can there be any doubt - the government will succeed in all their endeavors!

2. Don't call it "War Room", a proper name is soooo important in politics! Call it like you name 90% of you parties and organizations, something "rak" (love)...I've got it: "Hong Rak". Can't ever stretch the love long enough to properly mislead the gullible.

The commerce minister begged the EC

He also begged the state bank unions

Thai politics, a Beggar's Soap Opera;

I have no sympathy whatsoever for any of the beggars, be they government, banks or farmers.

I eat NOODLES!

Well done. And most noddles eaten in Thailand are made from .................................................... ?

Buckwheat..............!

Last night, a car broke through a police checkpoint into the protest site. Col Chusak said the driver has earlier broken a checkpoint outside the Bumirajanagarindra Kidney Institute in Phayathai district and get through another checkpoint to the protest venue but it was intercepted by police. Two men managed to escape the scene but one woman was nabbed.

He said the group was believed to be member of drug or illegal cars smuggling rings.

Mr Thaworn said the incident has nothing to do with or not intending to harm the protesters

Now, if you are a criminal and if you have average intelligence, why on earth wouldn't you plan a route that avoids protest sites and checkpoints? Then again, ineptitude is not the sole domain of police and politicians...

Whoever he is he throws like a girl

maybe he is a ladyboy?
