BP's favourite columnist, The Nation's Managing Editor Thanong, has joined twitter.* One of his pearls of wisdom today he tweeted today:
Another one:
BP: To paraphrase, Jon Stewart these are your moments of zen for the day.... Not sure that one can add anything to what Thanong has said. It is fairly self-explanatory. *Brieftly, considered whether it was a parody of Thanong, but having read his columns/blog articles over the years and that his colleagues at The Nation follow him on twitter, have dismissed this.

God! I can't believe this guy. I think he loves to be a slave or like to live under dictatorship. Well, if he really hates freedom and democracy then, he should keep that idea under his own family, like his wife and his children. Good luck to this fall guy!
To be fair to @ThanongK, he did retweet this: http://twitter.com/photo_journ/status/17387802770 (and reply). Despite (at best) not understanding him, I gotta admit that retweet's cool.
wow
try @notThanongK and see if you can work out which is the parody
That should be the motto of the reconciliation plan, help thais to understand why it is neccessary for the future of the nation to reject those 'crazy fashionable ideas'. Maybe include it in the next constitution amendments? This guy truly amazes me, each time I think he reaches the bottom, he finds a way to dig further deep in the sewers of ignominy. What next for Thanong? "arbeit macht frei"?
I agree with Thanong. Let's pause and pledge allegiance to the ideas which have bloodily dragged Thailand from the 17th through 21st centuries: Nation, culture, tradition, pride. (Heil!)
The term "poisonous" really puts this over the top. It's a language that justifies an all-out defense, not ruling out murder and genocide to rid the country of the "poison". It reflects the mindset of the most sinister regimes of the last century, including the one that took over a neighboring country in 1975.
@notThanongK does for tweeting what NotTheNation did for online "news". The consistently funny and pithy tweets suggest it might be the same person?!
Cannot stop laughing. I must confess that Khun Thanong is a guilty pleasure for me. Though I find myself in bemused opposition, disbelief, or some degree of outrage at many of his arguments, he provides necessary insight into a worldview that is much different than mine. Also, who else do you know who would issue a series of tweets about Thomas Cole's paintings at the New York Historical Society? |
