CNN and MSNBC are reporting that there may be a coup attempt in Thailand….
This story is only minutes old — even AP has nothing.
UPDATE: 12:10 p.m. – Okay, everyone’s got the story now. Still, some good blogger coverage at Bangkok Pundit and 2bangkok.
I confess. I have absolutely no knowledge of Thai politics. I couldn’t even hazard a guess. So I have no idea if the coup is a good thing or a bad thing.
But usually, military coups are a bad thing. So, I’ll go with "bad thing".
Our economy is affected by Thailand. We have many manufacturers there (you know, cheap labor) so anything destabalizing to that country (and I think an armed military coup probably qualifies) is not a good thing.
