"....what really gets to Ms. Guevara is the use of the man she calls Papi in ways that she says are completely removed from his revolutionary ideals, like when a designer recently put Che on a bikini."

"Once, she said, she bumped into John F. Kennedy Jr. in Europe and discussed with him the challenges of being the offspring of a famous man."

Does that mean they kicked the hawkers out of the ?Maosoleum? and onto the square? When I visited in 2003, one could purchase all Mao gear imaginable in the large atrium behind his corpse. The flower kiosk in front sells plastic flowers which after being laid before his bust are ?recycled? and sold again the next day. Don?t tell me they?re not capitalists.

I was driving to Denton Crossing to pick up a bowl of black bean soup when I saw a small plane. Trailing behind it in the sky was a huge poster of Che Guevara.

?What the?? I thought. ?Is this how the revolution starts? The guerillas send a pilot up with a poster of Che? Wait a minute. That?s too expensive for a revolutionary. And way, way too corporate for a Marxist.?

I looked up in time to see the back of a maroon van roaring at me. I stomped the breaks, and my black bean soup went airborne. The good folks at a certain chain bakery know that accidents happen, and my soup stayed sealed in it?s trendy, logo-bearing paper bowl. Life was good. The driver of the van did flash a friendly one-fingered wave my way, but, hey, I had it coming.

In spite of the narrowly diverted disaster, Che Gue?vara?s stern face flapped through the North Texas sky. By now, I could see something printed on the flying poster.

This was it. I had to see if a group of marketing-saavy Marx?ists were spreading some kind of watchword in North Texas. Maybe it was an immigrant rights group ? Guevara wanted to unite all Mestizzo people, anyway. What did the poster say? ?Viva la Revolu?cion??

No. It didn?t. It said: G-E-I-C-O. And that wasn?t Che Guevara. That was the Geico Caveman.

One of Che's grandparents was an Irish-American named Lynch. The others were all descended from Spanish immigrants to Argentina.

Perhaps he had a Muslim ancestor. Many Spaniards did. But all the Muslims either converted or left Spain by the early 1500's.

His name was Ernesto Guevara de la Serna. Because of his intense style in playing f?tbol (soccer) he was called F?ser, or "Furibundo de la Serna" by his buddies in high school and university. He was a medical doctor, and treated lepers for a while in Peru and Venezuela.

Che had no use for any religion.
