And he's still in New York.

They are in Bangkok, and they are all fine, thank you.

I can't say much more about this lest I contravene the guidelines, big time, so I'd like to direct you to my blog where I'm free to express my ire and opinion on this matter.

Can I just say I am pleased to see people employing the word fucktard in appropriate settings?
Even when you know your family is safe in these situations it is still upsetting to watch it happen.

My brother, his wife and child are in Bangkok. My parents are, even as I write this, on their way to Bangkok from Zurich for a visit. I just received an email from my brother saying that everything is fine - that the Thais are peaceful and that 'this happens all the time'....

so he's not worried about this. I don't know if he's stupid or simply pragmatic.

Headline in Israeli newspaper: "...military coup... prime minister ousted... cheap charter flights uniterrupted."

I think that is the danger of keeping a blog: you exaggerate everything

They were interviewing a civil liberties person on the CBC yesterday and she seemed pretty resigned to it as a normal practice too. You can hear the interview here:

It's hard to find a bad time of year to visit New York City. But Thailand's Prime Minister picked it.

Thaksin Shinawatra was in the Big Apple to address the General Assembly of the United Nations today. Meanwhile, back in Bangkok, the generals in his armed forces were busy overthrowing his government. Needless to say, Prime Minister Shinawatra cancelled his speech at the U-N.

To find out what is going on in Thailand, we spoke with Sarocha Pornudomsak earlier to day. She is a commissioner with the People's Alliance for Democracy. She is in the capital, Bangkok.
