Legislative chaos but not a coup. A coup requires a change in the chief executive
and commander in chief.
Besides in a real coup you turn on your car radio and your favorite radio station is quiet until you find the FOX type station that is playing martial arts music and advises you that in an hour a spokesman for "The Committee to Restore National Unity and Safeguard the Country" will be making an update.
You call your best friend who tells you that his brother in law works for the communications ministry and they haven't been able to grab the Prime Minister and half of the cabinet and that the navy refuses to join the Army and the Air Force is undecided.
You make a quick stop at the grocery story and buy every can you can get a hold of and leave wondering what the hell you are going to do with 46 cans of sweetened milk and 12 cans of sweet potato.
Been in a few.
The most interesting was after we had just gotten a micro wave dish that gave us 20 international cable channels and we watched CNN New York take live phone calls updating the confrontation that was happening at the University, about 2 kilometers away.
Trust me a coup is much more organized and much more popular than this. This would be giving coup a bad name.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
