    Banharn : One more for the gipper? A final all-out assault on the state coffers while the opportunity is still there?

    "According to a political source,Mr Yongyuth is one person who dares to speak his mind,take action and shoulder the responsibility".
    -But if you don't lick the Shinawatras feets,you have no future here. Just ask Jatuporn.

    Yingluck : Maybe she should get on a diet. She's gaining and by that,I don't mean support nor experience. After all,she is and always will be just a pawn in the game.
