Fuck Communism. Seriously, I'm fucking sick of it. Carlos Santana attends the Oscars in a Che Guevara t-shirt, and then he and Antonio Banderas perform a rousing musical tribute to him, which proceeds to win the Oscar. Remind me to try this out when my musical about Goebbels is finished. Also, the glib "Bush is rather a lot like Stalin, isn't he? They both tried to impose their will on the globe, after all" moral-equivalency-fest SUPERMAN: RED SON (alternate history comic in which Superbaby's rocket crash-lands in the Ukraine instead of Kansas) is having toys made out of it, complete with the hammer-and-sickle-instead-of-the-S logo. Why do I think they wouldn't be doing this if they had published a comic wherein little Kal-El landed in Prussia?

Communism is evil. Tens of millions of people were murdered because of it all around the world. Communism, you suck. Die, die, die.

On a lighter note, what IS this week's poll about, anyway?
