Che Moore

2004-09-18 22:26:57.905745+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

I'm torn in this next election. I really believe that we're being asked to choose between two evils. Kerry has a civil liberties record so bad that John Ashcroft has opposed some of his more onerous attacks on freedoms. On the other hand, as a (formerly) die-hard Republican friend said recently, "Kerry has the potential to be the second worst president ever, that's why I'm voting for him". Never before has my "Cthulhu for President, don't settle for the lesser evil" bumper sticker seemed so apropos.

And I'm also one of those people who, every time I see a Che Guevera t-shirt, wants to liberally apply the clue-bat, because obviously the history class failed.

However, every once in a while these things come together in a way that I think is kinda cool. The Flutterby reader who participates as skrubly (and who was behind the late lamented "Hornswoggled.net"), is doing a fundraiser for MoveOn.org over at Designed By Monkeys, with assorted "Michael Moore as Che Guevera" images. Which seems to work so well, whether you like or hate Moore or Che.
