Special Quote of the Week by Che Guevara




The man pictured above is not actor Benicio del Toro who is currently starring in the epic four-hour film "Che," which I'm told is a personal favorite among right-wing Cuban-American bloggers and the editors of "National Review."

We are quoting Ernesto Che Guevara (1928-1967) whose t-shirts can be found at a shopping mall near you (that irony just kills me!). The occasion for this is the fact that yesterday was May Day, which is still celebrated by those who call themselves socialists around the world.

For those who don't know, Che was a revolutionary Latin American figure who helped Fidel Castro come to power in Cuba. He was assassinated by CIA officials in Bolivia, but he has become ever the cult icon.

For the record, I am NOT a socialist though like everyone who voted for Barack Obama (especially in the redneck south) I have been accused of that. I enjoy my Starbucks frapuccinos thank you!

But, Che did have some unique quips, including this one:

"Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel!"
