...Bangkok Recipe for An Ouster After withstanding months of protests and calls for his resignation, Thai Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej was ultimately forced from office Sept. 9 on a technicality.

...What she radiates - at least, what it sure sounds like - is an essential decency. Obviously there's an ego in there, but she seems genuinely modest (a rare attribute for a TV or radio host) and self-deprecating in a wry but not flagellating way. A self-proclaimed "civics geek," "policy wonk" and "prude," she will often dare to be square. On Wednesday's radio show Maddow acknowledged that whenever she hears The Star-Spangled Banner, "I immediately start to weep." Then she cut to a live feed of the convention's nominating roll call, and as New York State...
