When politicians put their own aspirations ahead the country they represent it's time to call a spade a spade. Self-serving elected officials are doing nothing to move this country forward. Anyone who believes in "American Exceptionalism" should remember this when they go to the polls to vote.
Update: Someone on Reddit asked me what the difference was between Texas legislator Wendy Davis' filibuster of an abortion bill and Ted Cruz's soliloquy in the US Senate. My answer was that Davis' action was an attempt to stop what she thought was a restrictive abortion bill. Her filibuster had a goal: to talk until the Texas Senate's 30 day session ran out. On the other hand, Cruz had no intention of blocking the US Senate's bill. In fact, he looked forward to the vote. In addition, Davis' action was supported by her own party, while Cruz's infuriated fellow GOP Senators. The difference, as Dylan Byer, a writer at Politico stated was the difference between a filibuster with a purpose and grandstanding. He elaborates on the media's coverage of these two events:
Yes, the difference between filibustering and grandstanding plays a part. Equally important is the fact that Cruz's theatrics are frustrating members of his own party. But, part of the disparity in coverage is due to the fact that the mainstream media, generally speaking, don't admire Cruz the way they admired Davis — or rather, they admire him only insofar as he makes for tragicomic theater, whereas they admired her on the merits.

Bangkok's most unmissable attraction is of course the Grand Palace, and most specifically the temple complex of Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), famed for it's riot of coloured and gilded ornament, paintings and sculptures; quite simply, so visually stunning there is nothing quite like it anywhere else!
The Palace and Temple complex were begun in 1782, the year the capital was moved to Bangkok, and parts of the palace buildings betray 18th century European influence combined with traditional Thai style, such as the breathtaking gilt spires on the roof. Most of the interiors of the Palace itself are off limits to visitors since, although no longer the main residence of the Thai monarchy, it is frequently used for state functions and ceremonies.
The Wat Phra Kaew complex however is the greatest draw, famed for it's stunning architecture and the famous 'Yaksha' guardian figures that flank all the main entrances to the complex. These towering figures, with their rich colours and tapering crowns, represent demonic characters from the mythological epic the 'Ramakien', and are identifiable as distinct individuals, all here serving a benign, protective role.
The Ramakien is also the subject for a stunning sequence of wall paintings within the cloister that encirlces the entire site, illustrating in minute detail the battles of the heroic monkey warriors, led by the monkey god Hanuman, against the demonic armies and kingdoms of Tosakan.
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha itself forms the largest structure and contains the venerated (though small) Buddha image. The complex contains several other iconic buildings clad in sumptuous decor, most notably the library or 'mondop' with it's gilt spire along with the great golden stupa.
The temple complex is technically a royal chapel rather than a working monastery like most Thai temples as it has no resident monks (the sheer volume of visitors leaves little room for anyone else anyway!).
We had visited previously in 2010, but on that occasion were unable to enter the Emerald Buddha Temple itself, and certain other elements were under restoration, so this time we were able to focus more on those parts of the complex we were seeing for the first time.

Dundas Family including Rear Admiral George Heneage Lawrence Dundas CB (born 8 September 1778, died 7 October 1834) was a senior officer in the Royal Navy and Member of Parliament for Orkney and Shetland.
As a junior officer he came to prominence due to his brave conduct during a fire on the first-rate HMS Queen Charlotte. As a result of this he was appointed to the command of the sixth-rate HMS Calpe in which he took part in the Battle of Algeciras Bay in July 1801 during the French Revolutionary Wars. After serving for four years as Whig Member of Parliament for Richmond, he was given command of the fifth-rate HMS Euryalus and took part in the unsuccessful Walcheren Campaign in July 1809 during the Napoleonic Wars. He transferred to the third-rate HMS Edinburgh and landed troops at Viareggio in Italy in November 1812 later in that War.

“MY LORD,

Colonel the Hon. L. Dundas".

His Lordship appeared quite well the day before, but on rising that morning complained of giddiness; he fell into a slumber at noon, and expired about three o'clock without a sigh. The deceased was created Earl of Zetland at the Coronation. He is succeeded in the title by his son, Lord Dundas, M. P. for Richmond, who was last week sworn in Lord- Lieutenant of Yorkshire.

Nottinghamshire Guardian 9th May 1873 - Death of the Earl of Zetland.
We have to record the death of the Earl of Zetland, which took place somewhat suddenly on Tuesday morning, at his country seat at Aske Hall, Richmond, Yorkshire. His lordship was first taken ill about two years ago, since which time he has been a frequent sufferer from paralysis, and just previous to the recent parliamentary election for the borough his illness assumed an alarming shape; but under the care of his private medical attendant he made considerable progress towards recovery, but not sufficient, however, to be enabled to walk about with- out assistance. He continued in this improved state of health until Monday, when he was seized with a sudden general exhaustion, under which he sank gradually Dr Carter, his medical attendant at Richmond, was immediately called in, and remained with his lordship the whole day. In the meanwhile Dr. Gull had been telegraphed for, and be arrived at Darlington at midnight, and was conveyed thence to Aske Hall in his lordship's carriage. The opinion of Dr. Gull was not so unfavourable as to lead to the expectation that his lordship would succumb so soon, and the first intelligence received in Richmond on Tuesday morning was to the effect that his lordship was somewhat better. Shortly after 10 o'clock, however, his lordship showed signs of dissolution, and he continued to sink gradually, and, greatly to the surprise of his friends and those around him, expired about 10.40 a.m. Immediately on the intelligence becoming known in Richmond the tradesmen testified their respect for the deceased Earl by partially closing their establishments, and the British flag was hoisted half-mast high on the old keep of the castle, and several public meetings which were announced to take place have been postponed. The suddenness of his Lordship's death has cast quite a gloom over the neighbourhood, as he visited Catterick Races only a fortnight ago. He also drove into Richmond on Saturday last to transact some business, and on Sunday afternoon he drove through Gilling. His Lordship was born on the 5th of February, 1795, and was therefore in his 79th year. He was educated at Harrow, and was married in 1823 to Sophia Jane, second daughter of Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart. There was no issue, and her ladyship died in 1865. His Lordship represented Richmond in Parliament from the year 1818 to 1830, and from 1835 to 1839. He was also member for the City of York from 1830 to 1832, and from 1833 to 1835. He was a staunch supporter of the Liberal cause, both in the Houses of Lords and Commons. He was Grand Master of the Freemasons of England for a number of years, and vacated in favour of the Marquis of Ripon about two years ago. He was Provincial Grand Master for the North and East Ridings of Yorkshire, and was also Lord- Lieutenant of the North Riding until a few weeks ago, when he was succeeded by the Marquis of Ripon. His Lordship was appointed Knight or the Thistle under Lord Palmerston's Government, and last year he was made Knight of the Garter. His Lordship was one of the principal supporters of the Turf. The Earl's title will devolve upon Mr. Lawrence Dundas, M. P., whose elevation to the peerage will cause a vacancy for the borough of Richmond.
Hon. John Charles Dundas was the son of Lawrence Dundas, 1st Earl of Zetland and Harriet Hale.
He married Margaret Matilda Talbot, daughter of James Talbot, on 27th March 1843.
He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) (Whig) for Richmond.
He held the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Orkney and Shetland.
He lived at Woodhall, Wetherby, Yorkshire.
He died on 14th February 1866 at age 57 in Nice.
