I must admit, I've lost track of what is going on in Thailand. I've been paying more attention to events in Timor-Leste. There are far more interesting things going on than the colors of people's shirts. I was surprised — actually bemused — to read this on the Bangkok Post website:

Supporters of the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) flocked into Udon Thani province Saturday, amassing at the airport to intercept the arrival of People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) leaders who planned join a PAD gathering in the province.

So the PAD is still protesting. The group was originally set up to protest against Thaksin. After the coup of 2006, the group disbanded. It then got back together to protest against Samak being prime minister. Samak quit after being found guilty of hosting a television cooking show. Our beloved Sondhi had at one point said that Somchai would be a suitable prime minister, but then Sondhi changed his mind and the PAD protested against Somchai.

A lot of madness ensued and now Abhisit is prime minister, but the protests continue. The UDD was set up to protest against the PAD and the PAD spends at least some of its time counter-protesting against the UDD's protests.

I'm lost.
