It's official...


In Mexico, mañana, isn't actually tomorrow but 1 1/2 years from tomorrow:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/americas/mexicos-2010-bi...

President Felipe Calderon led the lighting of a soaring independence monument Saturday that was supposed to be ready for Mexico’s 2010 bicentennial, but came in nearly 1½ years late and way over budget.

Some Mexicans have suggested the quartz-clad light tower be dubbed “the monument to corruption.” Costs nearly tripled from about 400 million pesos to more than 1 billion (equivalent at current rates to about $75 million), and auditors found 95 improprieties in contracting that resulted in criminal charges against at least four public employees.
