The Dust (or Flour?!) May be Settling a Little in Thailand


Why do I say, "flour"? Because the Thai magistrates have found the former Prime Minister, that so many people disliked, to be disqualified as PM due to the fact that he hosted some cooking shows. That's right! He was a professional chef before he took office in February. His former t.v. show invited him back a few times and gave him small stipends of money for it. According to the Thai constitution (recently re-written just last year) a prime minister must not be an employee of any other company as it shows a conflict of interest. So, all 9 judges found him disqualified. Two days later his political party re-nominated him as their up and coming candidate. Should be interesting to see how this all plays out. At least with him stepping down for now in a legal, peaceful manner there shouldn't be an escalation of violence. Please pray that the adoption process will move forward quickly!
