Dude, check out my T-shirt! It's Totaly Revolutionary!




Kids today for some reason have adopted the Che Guevera Image as a symbol of fruit roll ups, micro machines, hypercolor, or anything else completly commercialized.

Here is an intersteting article about this retarded fad. (thanks C. Powell)

This is a response to the op. ed. article written by Glen Beck:

WOW! Dense and stupid has a name...and it's Glen Beck.

While attacking Che Guevara and pointing out his "pathetic and brutal legacy" the always jubilantly clueless Beck forgets to mention the 800 pound elephant in the room. What about our war mongering President he and other right wing sycophants helped get elected?

If Beck had any real respect for humanity he would be gracious enough to admit that he is clueless when it comes to providing any substantive historical insights and then he would just shut his floppy trap.

With Beck’s child like sense of reasoning questioning whether Capitalism has really won us anything automatically makes me a communist and a terrorist because anyone who disagrees with this talking head automatically is…

But still I will ask, are we winning the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? And let’s take a look at what is happening with the economy; banks are failing, people are losing their homes, oil is skyrocketing. Through the last eight years of unchecked capitalism, i.e. no oversight and poor governance, Bush has created a free for all for corporate fat cats while "the people" have become less prosperous and many can't afford to fill their tanks, buy groceries or pay their mortgage.

So, I would argue that the kind of Capitalism Beck subscribes to has won us nothing, in fact, it has failed.

The sad irony of a fool like Glen Beck is that he will happily pontificate about Guevara, who is a relatively obscure figure to everyone but a small population of people and yet still remain blithely unaware of his own hubris as he serves as court jester to his many misguided right wing nut followers while they sing the praises of the worst president this country has ever known.

Truly, anytime Beck opens his mouth I realize, a village has lost its idiot.
