I thought for sure under the circumstances he went up the mountain like Moses and brought back the 10 or so commandments that we must all live by but then they have been already pronounced to the people in one way or another. I wonder if the word Democracy appears on the tablets. Yes Prawit looks exhausted they must have been heavy.

Meniere's disease my eye. And I doubt it's coronary heart disease either.

Must be pay day I think If you are sick you should retire. Everybody is replaceable.

Looks like he was poisoned. But of course that would puncture a hole in the junta's "aura of invincibility"...
