I have been annoyed in the past by politicians. In fact, I'd dare to say that we all have. They mount annoying campaigns, demeaning attack adds, and generally disappoint us. But I have never been so appalled at politicians as I am here in Thailand.
While sitting at home on bed rest, which by the way is the most boring and horrible fate ever known to man, I have been lured to the front window by the sound of music. Sweet beautiful music that seemed to be coming from the street, coming closer in fact, music coming down my street and getting louder and louder....hmmm......ICE CREAM MAN!!!!!!!!!!!
But NO. It was not the ice cream man. It was a truck with a campaign poster on the back for the upcoming election! That's not even close to the ice cream man! What kind of evil awful deceitful person drives around masquerading as the ice cream man?!?!?! The ice cream man is sacred. That's like saying - vote for me, I'm Jesus, oh wait I'm not. Will the horrors of politics never cease?!
Let me tell me you - I don't know if there is going to be an election in the near future in Canada, but I promise you all that I will never, NEVER, vote for anyone who falsely pretends to be the ice cream man.

p.s. The doctor says I'm all better, but still not allowed to do any exercise for 2 weeks...sigh....
