Thai coup d'etat

Well, it appears that there is a coup going on in Thailand. Tanks have rumbled into Bangkok, the Prime Minister has declared a state of emergency, and a renegade general has revoked the state of emergency so that he may declare martial law.

And, as the New York Times is currently (18:26) reporting, a spokesman for General Sondhi, the coup d'etat'er has

"...apologized to the public for any inconvenience caused by the coup."

It's great that in the middle of a situation in which armed soldiers and tanks are roaming through the capital of Thailand, we can still have civility.

Oh, it's beyond civility.
Don't let a drop of beer spill from your glasses, folks.
