End Poverty, Promote Capitalism...

As a new feature here I will be celebrating the "Champions of Capitalism" and as not to piss off the other side I will also be exposing a few of the anti-capitalists also.

Our first expose' is for the other team. You see him on T-shirts, he's often quoted in Hollywood and Cuban President Castro loved him so much that he had him shot!

Come on down, our next contestant is.....

Ain't No Che, Man!

I never can figure out why so many young people love Che Guevara. I tried reading a few of his writings but most of it is wandering gibberish. And that's being kind. Che, as he is known, is associated with the progressives as a savior of the under class and the consumate anti-capitalist. It's funny how many people use his likeness to sell something.


If you have the time, here is a great article on the man that points out the real Che. Here is a teaser...
"Che Guevara was monumentally vain and epically stupid. He was shallow, boorish, cruel and cowardly. He was full of himself, a consummate fraud and an intellectual vacuum. He was intoxicated with a few vapid slogans, spoke in clichés and was a glutton for publicity.
But ah! He did come out nice in a couple of publicity photos, high cheekbones and all! And we wonder why he's a hit in Hollywood."
