Honduras: Qualifying the Four-Letter Word
The four-letter word in this case would be “coup.” Kathy argues that, in Honduras, that’s exactly what we’re witnessing. But at least one of the day’s commentators argues that not all coups are created equal, and distinguishing between them is perhaps more than an exercise in semantics:

I honestly don’t have an opinion, either way, on this subject; I’m only trying to promote dialogue on anything other than the untimely demise of celebrities.
