The Times, They are A-Changing?

continuing with the "corruption in the workplace" theme of Raul's short tenure, party-hack newspaper Granma has announced the initiation of a study of what's wrong with the entire socialist system.

and the study won't be all. new rules aimed at cracking down on widespread fraud at state businesses will take effect Jan. 2.

this is, of course, Raul's doing. in the absence of King Fidel, the 100% comitment to a socialist economic model Cuba previously spoused can be departed from. Raul's hands-on, practical, and above-all efficicient management of the Armed Forces and the tourism industry is now being applied to the entire country as a whole.

or rather, will be shortly.

these are just the opening salvos, of course.
