Shattered Che,

Despite what some people say I'm not a socialist and I don't idolize Che Guevara. I do think he was an interesting person who lead an interesting life, but that is hardly praising him. One thing I do love about him is how insane he drives conservatives. I came across this story while watching the nephews (our taste in movies is different) last night.
A glass monument to revolutionary icon Ernesto “Ché” Guevara was destroyed less than two weeks after it was unveiled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s government.
They shot it up and smashed it with sledge hammers. You got to be pretty full of hate to pull shit like that.
Although no suspects have been identified, Padilla said it must be the work of a group with links to Venezuelans and Cubans living in Miami,
That's pretty far to go to smash some glass. And why would you use glass to build a monument in a rural area. Road signs in norther Wisconsin could've told you that's trouble.

Someone is going to have to account for her were abouts last week.

ahahaha. I have great respect for Che. I think if I would have been in his position I would have agreed with his politics, but even from this (priviliged) side of the fence his actions and commitment are admirable. Besides that, him in his beret make a damn cool T-shirt.
