Down goes the Somchai Administration

The Thai Constitutional Court acted "with unusual speed" and has dismissed the administration of (now-former-)Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat, disallowed three political parties including the one he stands in, and placed Mr. Somchai under a 5-year ban from political activity.

Word coming in is that the anti-government PAD protesters that occupied the major Bangkok airports and some government offices are standing down their protests.

All this, and His Royal Majesty due to deliver his much-anticipated Birthday Address on Friday.

Isn't it amazing what can be done when there is no real division of powers?
