SO I was randomly zapping through the channels on our TV.

I land on CNN- Headline: THAKSIN* DISSOLVES THAI PARLIAMENT, DECLARES SNAP VOTE FOR APRIL 2

............bzwuuuh whaaaat?! *=thaksin - thailand's prime minister

And apparently there's gonna be one of the largest demonstrations ever this weekend in Bangkok. 8O

(Understandable really, given what kind of a shit move this is, cramping the oppurtunities of the already at a financial disadvantage Opposition and potential people who would've switched from Thaksin's TRT Party to the Opposition. And of course the obvious and typical thing of our dear leader letting the power get a leeeettle bit too much to his head. I mean, he's done great things for the country as well, but there are times where you just have to go "...whut, still a democracy here, mate."- re:Shincorp hijinks and the Southern conflict with the Pattani seperatists mess to name a few. The other stupid thing is, like it or not, he also seems to be the only senior politician of note to actually be noticable and well known by the general public. ...Haaah they could make the govenour of BKK PM instead, who imho is the only other politician of similar wellknownness/popularity- barred previous PMs and so)

ARGH need to catch up asap ... this is what happens when I fall behind on Current Affairs *d'OH* D:

oh noes, omg, rl
