Something seems off...

I forget occasionally how much of a blessing it is to live in a country that is relatively politically stable. I was reading news coverage this morning of the recent military coup in Thailand, and nearly all of the news stories used the phrase "...the country's first military coup in fifteen years..."

Seems slightly funny when you read it. Like it's such a good thing that it's been fifteen years since the last coup. Like the coups are a fact of life, and you just have to be grateful if they don't happen too regularly!
