Matthew Yglesias, your secret is out

Look at this picture:

This is ostensibly a picture of the very talented and successful blogger Matthew Yglesias, but look closer and you will notice an uncanny, undeniable resemblense to Erneste "Che" Guevara. Of course, this couldn't be Che because he was killed 40 years ago in the jungles of Bolivia, and it couldn't be an old picture of Che because of the anachronistic presence of a laptop computer in the shot, not to mention the empty bottle of Gatorade.

My theory: Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez and the ubiquitious Dr. Mengele got together to clone Che a la The Boys from Brazil. You will remember the defunct revolutionary's remains were returned to Cuba not long ago--you think all the Cubans did was bury him? The clone's purpose: attend Harvard, become an influential blogger and insidiously change American foreign policy from inside the blogosphere. And he would have gotten away with it if AGI hadn't outed him.

Yeah, I know. It's a silly post. But I'm bored at work.
