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.
