Live-Blogging the Protests in Bangkok
Well, they’re there again today, determined to oust a legally elected government which was actually elected in a special election required BECAUSE the PAD was instrumental in ousting the previous government, and now swears to High Heaven that the current Samak government is ‘corrupt’ and inept.

The Obituary You Hope is Never Yours
