Ousted Thai PM takes 'deserved rest'

This CNN story reads like something out of the Onion: "Ousted Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said Thursday he would take a 'deserved rest,' and urged the military leaders of the country to quickly arrange for new national elections."

The story closes with a memorable paragraph: 'Heading toward a minibus, Thaksin disclosed that "I am going to buy some groceries.' "
