What's Up With Che Guevara?
Bridget Johnson, usually of the LA Daily News, had an op-ed in the WSJ yesterday. She is concerned about the love affair between Hollywood and communism.
I really don't get the whole Che Guevara thing -- he has become a fashion statement. Not too long ago, I was in line at a fast food joint and some 15-year-old little girl was in line in front of me wearing a tee shirt with a picture of that guerilla-cum-terrorist. When I asked the young lady if she knew that she had one of the more evil men of the 20th century plastered on her chest -- she just sad, "No, but it's cool!"
Ms. Johnson better add our education system to the indictment. I knew who Che Guevara was when I was 15.
