Latino Heritage?

My wife likes TLC's "What Not to Wear," the goofy personal re-make show that's essentially "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy" without the "alternative lifestyles."

On the episode she watched tonight was a young lady who insisted she not be changed so much that she lose her authentic Latin American heritage. That heritage consisted, apparently, of wearing really, really awful clothes, not understanding how to improve her far-far-less-than-model-perfect looks with makeup -- and, of course, sporting a Che Guevera T-shirt.

The priceless Jay Nordlinger of National Review has been doing a magnificent job questioning the fascination of America's liberals and Latin Americans with the murderer Che. Quite a fashion statement to wear togs promoting a guy who delighted in administered the coup de grace to the innocents mowed down by the evil revolution's machine guns -- and this is just one example of the horrendous evil perpetrated by this "doctor of the people."

I noticed just the other day one of the Hispanic workers in the manufacturing plant I work in sporting "Che Guevera" as a nickname on the back of his bump cap. As Jay Nordlinger says, this wholesale worship of a butchering thug is an evil that would take massive effort and years to stamp out.

Let's start now.
