Thaksin, Be a Man!

Have you seen the following individuals?

Thaksin Shinawatra- the former Prime Minister of Thailand and the current owner of Manchester City football team

Pojaman Shinawatra, Thaksin’s wife.

Don’t be fool by their looks and wealth! They are wanted for corruption. Pojaman was recently convicted on tax evasion and sentenced to three years in prison. However, she was released on a $149,000 bail.

Since the trial, this couple moved to England after attending the Bejing Olympics Opening Ceremony. Thaksin decided not to show up when ordered by the court–he is afraid to face his “crime.” What a jerk….Right now, he and his wife are being wanted in Thailand. The pictures above are their arrest warrants.

Mr. Thaksin, I don’t know how long you are going to hide in England. You can’t be there for long. Remember that you just took out a loan to help fund your football team? Your asserts have been frozen. People are hating your team management!  Former staff of Manchester City are going after you. You are ruining Thailand’s and your team’s reputation– you’re not the king! No one wants you.

Be a man and face the crime! Don’t be a woman…

Paris Responds to McCain Ad!

McCain, don’t f*** with Paris!

I guess, it was a right thing that Paris Hilton was in jail. She finally has the brain to respond to “that white-haired dude.”  While many of you think I am crazy,  Hilton did an ad in response to John McCain’s “Celebrities” ad. I have to say her ad is awesome. Clearly, it proves to the point that McCain is old. Face it, we don’t want a 70-something year old to lead the country during time of crisis.

I love the ad! By far, it’s Paris’ best performance!

McCain, you’re just too old. Oh, by the way, sir, Czechoslovakia is not a country!

Check it out…

John McCain, the Real Flip-Flopper!

Aside from the fact that he believes that Czechoslovakia is still a country, John McCain is the real flip-flopper in this upcoming election.

Have you noticed how he always changed his position? Instead of me listing them, I am going to let you watch this clip. Hopefully, you will not vote for him in November.

No McCain, No more Bush’s policies!

3 Year-Sentence for Thaksin’s Wife Was Nothing


Source: Manager.co.th

Pojaman Shinawatra, the former Thai prime minister’s (Thaksin’s) wife, was found guilty of tax evasion and sentenced to three years in prison. She was released on $ 5 million baht or $149,000 bail. The family is planning to appeal the verdict, according to Thai news sources.

The decision of this case is rather surprising and disappointing. By 2001, Thaksin was acquitted on a similar charge. This time around was different. The pro-thaksin government and the Thai judicial system are under the pressure to “make things right.” Yesterday’s verdict was nothing. The court showed that it has the ability to convict anyone regardless of one’s socioeconomic status. However, Thaksin, his wife and his allies are acting above the law. The fact that Pojaman, Thaksin’s wife, was released on a 5 million baht bail bothers me; it’s too little.

The court should have given her the harshest sentence. Compare to how much the Shinawatra stole the money from Thailand–this verdict was nothing. The Shinawatra family stole more than billions of bath from Thailand. Everyone in that family should be in jail for life, period.

What makes me mad the most is that after the verdict, the judge granted the family to go see the Olympics game in China. He allows them to leave Thailand and what happens if they don’t come back to face the court? Remember, Thaksin’s trial starts a few days after the summer Olympics started. Oh, did I mention that he owns a soccer team in England?

Just think about it.
