How full of trifles everything is! It is only one’s thoughts that fill a room with something more than furniture. - Wallace Stevens
This is president Thaksin. He was the president of Thailand for a long, long time, considering the fact that Thailand has had more coups than any other country in the last 20 years. Then, when I was there about a year ago, he was deposed in a bloodless military coup. Then he left the country for a while. Now he is coming back as an exile and the new government wants to try him for stealing money from the government. However, most interesting, in my opinion, is this picture (taken from npr.org), in which there are a WHOLE LOT of furtive looks from women behind Thaksin. What is going on? Is this a political photo or a model shoot? sasafras lasagna! I wish I could move Mr. Thaksin out of the way.
