This is interesting. Like all Communist news, you have read for what's missing, not for what's there. That they haven't seen Raul publicly since taking command is telling. That they affirm he is in control of the armed forces is, perhaps, very telling. Why would they need to state that if it's supposed to be his role? Who are they trying to convince? Why have we not seen El Commandate Jefe at all since his operation. Not even a cropped photo. Not a voice message to the people, nothing. This is highly speculative on my part and I'm probably reading too much into it, but I wonder what's going on behind the scenes here. Only time (and Granma) will tell.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
