Like most foreigners I was pig-ignorant of Che Guevara, aside from a general feeling that the guy must have been a bad-head (anyone who could look so sloppy in a beret MUST be a Bad Head). Then I recently did some dispassionate reading about the fellow.

Che Guevara was a consummate Bad Head. Worse, he was one of the 20th Century’s Great Unhanged Villains. He met a suitably sticky demise, but perhaps they should have made it slightly stickier. Machine-gunning him was a kindness he could have been spared: a visit with Mr Pierrepont would have been better.

Well Che ought to count his blessings (assuming he's in a place where he can), that he didn't check out like one of his ideological ancestors, the infamous Leon Trotsky:
Last photo of Trotsky, after an ice pick to the head on orders of Uncle Joe Stalin himself in 1940.
