It always seem to happen in the fall. School begins, and I ease up on my blogging. Part of the reason is that I spend so much time blogging in my classes. All my classes that I am teaching right now are using blogs. It’s difficult keeping up with four different blogs and trying to follow so much news. At the same time, I like it a lot. I just came across an article in the NY Times about the commodification of Che Guevara. The Che t-shirts are nothing new, but it is amazing that such a symbol of communism has become so closely connected to global capitalism. Even in Cuba itself, stores sell Che t-shirts. But probably the strangest of all Che items has to be the Che bikini worn Gisele Bündchen at a fashion show.
