Ousted Honduran President Chooses Own Country As Grave Marker

Ousted President Manuel Zelaya said Saturday that he would return to Honduras to retake office following last week's military-backed coup, despite warnings of a potentially deadly confrontation with the current government that could turn bloody...for Zelaya.

Approximately 10,000 supporters are prepared to act as funeral pallbearers should Zelaya step from the plane at the Tegucigalpa Toncontin Regional Airport. He will be guided to the airport by the Honduran Civil Aviation Authority which has staunchly backed the current government. It is unclear whether Tegucigalpa air controllers will offer assistance to the exiled president by way of landing instructions or whether they will provide an alternate landing site, possibly into the side of one of the mountains near the city.

The interim government has taken to radio and television airwaves with jingles, part of a campaign to win over those who have yet to choose sides. Roberto (Bobby) Micheletti, the interim president vows that his jingles will turn the tide in his favor and garner additional support from people currently favoring Zelaya.

One jingle making the radio station rounds in Tegucigalpa portrays Zelaya as a male prostitute who is deeply involved in drugs and alcohol.

"It is a catchy little tune," admitted Manuel De Los Angeles, former Vice President of the poor Central American nation. "My children will not stop singing it."
