Kitchen vacancy


Maiyuu is unhappy to see outspoken Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej booted out of his job.

He likes Samak because he can cook, and gives his critics as good as he gets.

The Constitution Court yesterday ruled that Samak's cooking shows violated a ban on outside employment, and ordered him and his cabinet to leave office immediately.

The ruling party, however, says it will nominate him to serve again as prime minister when the House sits on Friday. Samak has accepted the nomination.

The Manager newspaper, owned by a co-leader of the protest group People's Alliance for Democracy, ran pictures of PAD protesters cheering the decision.

They danced, sang, punched the air with their fists. 'What are they - morons?' asked Maiyuu, disgusted.

He was just as unhappy to see journalists hanging around the House yesterday, waiting to see if Samak would be nominated again. 'A pack of vultures,' he sniffed.

Should Samak not want the job after all, we would like him to know that there is a space available in our kitchen for an extra cook. He can samak (the Thai work for 'apply') to work here instead.

Samak can share cooking duties with boyfriend Maiyuu. We live in a fresh market, so he should have no trouble finding ingredients.

One of Samak's shows was called 'Tasting and Grumbling,' so called because Samak has a sharp tongue, and likes to complain.

In that regard, he and Maiyuu should get along well.

  1. They remove him from position to only reinstate him to office? Now everyone is happy?

    A souffle is complicated. Thai politics is more so.

  2. Samak's mouth is like a dragon spit fire. Thai politics like a circus with too many clowns. Amazing Thailand!

    Thaksin may have helped much of Thai economy but he has indirectly killed many lives during his weeding out narcotics operations. He forgot there is cause & effects.
