Today must be an interesting day. Kim Jong-il is nowhere to be seen on an important anniversary celebration of N. Korea. Now, Thai PM is kicked out of office because he was running a cooking show while in office?

I am becoming convinced that the entire world is insane.

Of all the scandals that I have heard of, cooking is a new one to me.

Maybe all cooks should go on strike and lock down the kitchens.

I am sure he broke some law about not having ‘other jobs’.
