The ALL-TIME best photo of the dead Che is right here. The CIA guys in the background make a good thing even better. This was when America was still America as it should be and good commies were dead commies.

This is Mario Vargas Llosa's boy I think.

The dad once wrote a pretty interesting article on how his boy (I think Alvaro) had gotten sucked into a Rastafarian cult in London. It looks like the son got over that.

As for the article, the boys a chip off the old block, at least where his hearts at. Its tough to follow such a father.

Che is little more than a t-shirt now. I've asked people wearing the t-shirt about him before. None of them knows a thing about history. Most don't even know what country he was from. He's nothing but a 't-shirt" emblem for liberal idiots who want to show that they somehow are nonconformists.

If Che were alive today he would be a professor in Ithaca on assignment to the Kennedy School of Government and a frequent house guest of Jimmy Carter's.

After hours at the 2004 Renfest, I was congratulated on my cool Che t-shirt . . . except it wasn't Che, it was Adam Ant. Same black-on-color type of picture, but totally different guy.

The Rennies were disgruntled when I enlightened 'em.
