I refused to buy a flower from a flower vendor. She called me a "Cheap Charlie". I called her a "Dirty Diana". It went straight over her head.

Police want independence

You may get your independence, but first you should be dissolved...

PT Asks Police To Protect Redshirts From Suthep

should be actually:

Thugs asking Thugs to protect Thugs from Thugs

well now, those ghosts must be indicative to the area, since they believe everything they are told...

The Green Politics group and Thai Constitution Protection Association separately lodged complaints with the EC, accusing Ms Yingluck Shinawatra of making an exaggerated statement during her appearance on all TV channels on Tuesday.

Now they're not even letting her exaggerate anymore...what an outrage...how dare they try to take away her only remaining political tool

Pay day by day, and if you don't like what you get, well then leave.

UDD leaders Tida Thavornset, Nattawut Saikua, Jatuporn Prompan, Korkaew Pikulthong, Weng Tojirakarn, and Yoswaris Chuklom announced at a news conference that the upcoming gathering will focus on strategies to deal with the ongoing political situation and how to manage a national reform in several dimensions.

What a deluded group of people, imagining themselves as managing a national reform in the future.

The government will soon embark on a globe-trotting tour

yes, go away and stay there!

Gone is the highly visible motorcade befitting a prime minister, in order to attract as little attention as possible.

Yup, she is using Chalerm's pink Bentley instead

Former Chart Thai Pattana Party MP Chada Thaiset, who represents Uthai Thani farmers, led some 15,000 farmers from Uthai Thani, Ayutthaya, Singburi and Ang Thong to Bangkok.

"I decided to lead the convoy because I feel sorry for the farmers and I am fed up with the government's lies about the payment, which never came," said Chada, whose party is a coalition partner of the Pheu Thai-led caretaker government.

smelling the wind, changing allegiance, from red to yellow via orange, ,,,feeling sorry for the farmers, or looking out for number one?

Purple People Eater? That jacket just screams bad taste, hope he doesn't wear it driving his pink Bentley.

...or Barney the Dinosaur...

Suthep challenges Chalerm for a fistfight

how about some mud wrestling followed by a wet t-shirt contest?

These were not suicides, the government murdered these farmers by proxy. The Mental Health Department's report's purpose is to absolve the government from guilt, but they fail utterly because the "expert" is an idiot.

Have you even bothered to read the data on suicide and its incidence in Thailand?

You call the doctor an idiot. Why? Because you didn't bother to read the data, or the WHO review?

Nothing that the doctor stated was contrary to the published reviews. Why don't you and the other self anointed epidemiologists go and read the data.

from the article:

total of 13 suicides: 9 because of debt. 3 because of disease. 1 no clue at all.

The "expert" said (paraphrasing}: main factors for suicide are mental Health problems, disease and family problems. Economic problems also.

Obviously, in the cases of the farmers, the absolute main reason is debt, no money. And not mental health or disease. The "expert" is whitewashing the government by trying to obscure and minimize the effect of debt.

as for being a self anointed epidemiologist, I take that, and I think it is better than what the government did by creating this epidemic. And it is also better than having been adopted as Dr. Thaksin's geriatric kid.

These were not suicides, the government murdered these farmers by proxy. The Mental Health Department's report's purpose is to absolve the government from guilt, but they fail utterly because the "expert" is an idiot.

Wiwat Theekhakeereekul, chairman of Car Mart

said:

Farmers are underprivileged and deserve sympathy, just as financial institutions do.

in other words: Financial Institutions are underprivileged and deserve sympathy. Maybe the poor, misunderstood banks need a hug? or a therapy session?

What a moronic comment, likening the farmers' plight to banks.

one thing comes to mind: expenditures

there will obviously have to be a joint account for expenditures, insist on all partners having to sign for withdrawals.

Why can't she just admit that she was wrong and that this project has failed. Take your losses and time to move on

The pledging didn't fail from her point of view....................it was intended to be as corrupt as it has turned out to be.

The rice pledging scheme became a donation scheme...except that the government forgot to tell the farmers...

Warong says PM was aware of the fake G-to-G rice deals with China

Of course she was aware, she just didn't understand what it all meant...

Chalerm:

People who are backing Suthep are very mad that I have cooled off.

Chalerm on the Rocks...

FDA blames Japanese anime for Thai teens' obsession with body image

To FDA:

Dudes, you are missing an opportunity here! Just tell them teens that they too can get bodies like that:

if they exercise regularly! Slam, bam, thank you ma'm! So, get campaigning correctly and everybody benefits...

Caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said today (Friday) that she wished everyday to be St Valentine’s Day so that Thai people would love one another.

Yes: Thai Rak Thai - been there, done that

Surapong: "Suthep stoles it, my prrrecious! We wants it back. You, helps us get it back! Gollum, Gollum....ahhhh, my prrrecious!"

Are they wearing uniforms? "Kamnan uniforms"? O do we have to worry about a new shirt color movement? The beige shirts, the off-whites, the "sandies", or maybe the unwashed?
