Ballsy.

Thats it.

I'll just bet there were more guns around him than an NRA convention, too.

All the same, I'm happy to see he isn't dead. I'd worried he might have been the target of last night's excitement. The only thing worse than seeing him fall by a systematic take over would be to see him assassinated to leave a big, open vacuum of power and the whole military/nation kinda saying "Okay..now what?".
