My favorite monarch is having financial difficulties. Her Nogoodnik son, the former Prince of Wales (no longer in the long line to the Throne) spent well over a million pounds, pounding the pavements, touring the world, first class. Also, Her Mad Hatter Majesty needs lots more money to update her many palaces. [...]

CIA-Sponsored Coup In Honduras Is OK For US Political Chattering Classes
In Honduras, an outright military coup took over the democratic government. Naturally, since the military coup conspirators are good buddies of the Pentagon, this sort of anti-democratic tyranny is A-OK.
