Another Political Post
Thai politics, actually.
Seems that the prime minster of Thailand has finally stepped down after weeks of protests and a takeover of his compound. Supposedly none of those things forced him out. What did him in? Paid guest appearances on a cooking show that he used to host prior to becoming prime minister. It seems that in Thailand it's a constitutional violation to do such a thing when you're the PM.
Now I wonder how long it'll be before some TV or radio host comes up with "Boy, don't you wish we had a rule like that in the US and (insert name of hated political office-holder) had been a guest judge on Iron Chef?" Man I could make some dough punching up material for those guys.
Back to ex-PM Sundaravej: What recipes did he demo? Or was he just a taster? What food did in a political career? Maybe someone will post clips on somewhere out there on the vast interwebs. Maybe I'll be motivated to go searching for them. Or maybe not.
Screw it, once they turn on the Large Hadron Collider we're all blipping out of existence anyway. Nice knowing you. See you elsewhere in the multiverse, I hope. Wherever we all wind up, I hope I can still get some good Tom Yum. Mmmmmm...soup in the afterlife.
