rak n' roll

buzzword of the day: Lèse majesté

n. Lèse majesté (French expression, from the Latin Laesa maiestas or Laesae maiestatis (crimen), (crime of) injury to the Majesty; in English, also lese majesty or leze majesty) is the crime of violating majesty, an offense against the dignity of a reigning sovereign or against a state.

yes, yes ... its one of the things the government of Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is being accused of, after a successful coup d'etat less than 24 hours ago. Shinawatra is visiting NYC, so he can probably trade tales of woe with Iranian president/provocateur Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
