HA

A good article about left-wing symbols like Che Guevara shirts:

These T-shirts send a message, which effectively boils down to this: I have vague left-wing sympathies but don't read history. I am educated enough to want nonconformity but not intelligent enough to avoid conformity.

Whoda thunk this would turn up in the MSM? Though to be fair, a lot of Leftists and liberals probably think the Che craze is silly.

I was puzzled by this line from the article:

it would be America's first M.B.A. president who would oversee the proletariat's glorious march to the workers' control of the means of production.

Obama doesn't have an MBA, but Bush does. Is the author referring to Bush?

Are any Leftists looking forward to Bushtalgia?

Nothing shows the defeat of tyranny more thoroughly than its reclamation by nostalgia.

Follow the arrows:

Yasir Arafat → sympathetic old-lady professors at Berkeley → their worshipful students → the guys they go to Sam Roberts concerts with → Rachael Ray in a Dunkin' Donuts ad.

Now that Arafat's gone, Professor kevin should be in there somewhere.

Obama's followers want results, on the financial crisis, the environment, and the war in Iraq.

But will they get them?

I found this line from the article to be puzzling as well as sarcastic:

Cf. Yugo-nostalgia and Ostalgie.
