MEANWHILE….Over in Thailand, it’s possible that a constitutional crisis will be averted because the prime minister also hosts a cooking program on state TV. From the Guardian’s report, here’s a sentence you don’t see every day:
The cooking show, Tasting, Grumbling, a mix of tips on traditional Thai cooking and rants on subjects of his choosing, represents the most immediate threat to his power.
That’s right. If a court rules that Samak Sundaravej’s show violates the constitution, then he’ll be out of office with no muss and no fuss. Perhaps we could import a similar system into our country?
