Inconsiderate coup
"¡Woohoo!" I thought, already imagining the fame and richness it would undoubtedly have brought me.
Before it was due to be published however, as some of you may have heard, the military in Honduras conducted a coup, overthrowing the government. A fucking coup! Just when my article was about to be printed. The fuckers couldn't have waited another week, waited until I'd been published...
This in the Central American country least affected by internal strife, civil war and political turmoil since that region's independence from Spain. It was just too quiet for the military apparently. Things have been getting pretty hairy there since, so I'm not surprised my travel piece about what a great country Honduras is to visit has been shelved for now.
The previous large travel article I wrote was on México. A certain pig flu broke out afterwards, putting an end to hopes of having that published. Schweinerei.
