A community portal about Che Guevara with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Ernesto Guevara de la Serna, commonly known as Che Guevara or el Che, was an Argentine-born Marxist revolutionary, political figure, and leader of Cuban and internationalist guerrillas. As a young man studying medicine, Guevara travelled rough rough throughout Latin America, bringing him into direct contact with the impoverished conditions in which many people lived. His experiences and observations during these trips led him to the conclusion that the region's socioeconomic inequalities could only be remedied by revolution, prompting him to intensify his study of Marxism and travel to Guatemala to learn about the reforms being implemented there by President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán.

Matt Damon plays a pathological liar in Steven Soderbergh's "The Informant!" — the true-life story of an agribusiness executive who blows the whistle on his company's price fixing schemes with international competitors. Soderbergh said Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where his comedy is showing out of competition, that lying plays an important function in life — as long as the lies don't get out of hand. "I think lying is very important and necessary. It does take a lot of energy. It is one of the ways I stay thin," Soderbergh told reporters. Damon didn't have that luxury for the role of Mark ...

Hollywood Celebrates Che Guevara But it makes no films about the Cuban resistance movement. By MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY Hollywood hotshot Benicio Del Toro is not a stand-up comic, but he seemed to be playing one earlier this month when he said he found the role of Cuban Revolution hero Ernesto Guevara, in the new film "Che," like Jesus Christ. AP The Ladies in White march in front of Havana's Capitol building to protest the jailing of political dissidents, Dec. 10. "Only Jesus would turn the other cheek. Che wouldn't," Mr. Del Toro explained. Right. And Bernie Madoff is Mother Teresa, only she wasn't into ... Read Full Story

Cuba's best-known folk singer says he has a new song intended to "rehabilitate" the image of revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara from the international super-brand seen on everything from coffee mugs to refrigerator magnets. Cuban singer Silvio Rodriguez said Thursday the song on his upcoming album returns the emphasis and meaning of Guevara's life to his struggle against imperialism, his love of being a revolutionary and his concept of socialism. All were far more complicated than much of the world understands, he added. "Che's legacy is always different, always against the international current," Rodriguez said in an interview published by Cuban state-run news agency Prensa ... Read Full Story

I have a memory–a surprisingly distinct one, considering the circumstances–I was about nineteen, a sophomore in college, hanging out at a friend’s house, listening to records and going through his books. He had a large red book, a Che Guevara reader that I recognized not by the name (which I’d never heard pronounced) but rather by the iconic image of the Argentine Marxist revolutionary. Of course, I didn’t know that Che was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary at the time–I just knew the image. “Is this any good?” I asked my friend, thumbing through the thick, stiff volume. “No idea,” he replied. “Who is this ...

The two lawmakers who successfully added H-1B hiring restrictions to the financial bailout bill earlier this year have introduced legislation that would bar any firm that lays off 50 or more workers from hiring guest workers. This legislation, introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), could potentially affect a broad swath of tech firms that have laid off large numbers of workers but continue hiring.

Back during the time of the 9/11 Commission we always heard how fair and respected Tom Kean was. We'll see how welcome his words are now. The decision to bring Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four other alleged Sept. 11 conspirators to New York City for trial will only give the self-professed mastermind of the attacks the platform for "propaganda" that he wants, the chairman of the 9/11 Commission
