Steyn: When the Government Runs Your Bathroom
the Charmin gets squeezed out:

Cuba, in the grip of a serious economic crisis, is running short of toilet paper and may not get sufficient supplies until the end of the year, officials with state-run companies said on Friday...

"The corporation has taken all the steps so that at the end of the year there will be an important importation of toilet paper," an official with state conglomerate Cimex said on state-run Radio Rebelde.

A five-month wait for toilet paper? I think that falls under what Obama would call "the fierce urgency of now."
