I read this, and it inspired the thought with which I titled this article – replace Gordon Brown with Gordon Ramsay.

F***, you call this a balanced budget? It’s f***ing not, you f***ing ninny! Now get f***ing back in there and f***ing do it f***ing again.

Has potential.

Thailand | Where cookery is crookery | | The Economist

SOME Thais have been looking to the courts to resolve the country’s interminable political conflict. So far, however, they are only making things worse—and making the country look rather silly in the process. On September 9th the Constitutional Court ordered Samak Sundaravej, the prime minister, to step down for breaching a ban on ministers having outside jobs. Mr Samak’s offence was to make a handful of appearances as a television chef, continuing the parallel career that he has been following in recent years alongside his main job as an abrasive right-wing politician. The court rejected his claim that the 80,000 baht $2,400 he received for doing the cookery shows earlier this year was not a fee, just reimbursement for ingredients and other expenses.
