A Cigar In Every Pot?

From Reuters:

"Six months after President Fidel Castro promised that every Cuban household would get an electric rice cooker and other appliances, most Cubans are wondering where they are....The delays are being blamed on the country's decrepit electricity grid as officials fear that the onslaught of new electric appliances will cause power failures and fires...In a series of four-hour television appearances earlier this year, Castro detailed the number of watts each new appliance would save...he even explained to Cubans how to cook rice and beans more efficiently, advice that was not appreciated by all. "What a lack of respect. I know how to cook," said a housewife in the capital city of Havana, as she watched one of Castro's appearances."

Fidel has a cooking show. You really can't make this stuff up.
