So, is this an "anti-corruption" coup? Best I can figure out the PM is some sort of bazillionaire and that he's been throwing contracts his own way. And that the last elections were kind of sketchy, making people think that possibly the PM wasn't really elected.
Hey, this rings a bell. Now, where have I heard that story before.....?

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

Chris, unfortunately, that would be "Islamo"
It's the polite was of saying raghead.
Thailand is really getting its ass kicked lately, isn't it? I mean, thailand is kicking its own ass, something we should be very familiar with.

Just remember folks, you too can be a coup!
For the low, low price of less than a Hummer H1, we can put you in the drivers seat of the mighty T-72, which even the most expensive and modern of M1 Abrams requires lethally toxic DU shells to even scratch the paint of!
And bulk discounts for third world juntas!
So stock up today! viva le revelucion!!
