March 21st, 2009 · 1 Comment
Though I’ve taken stands against federal government bailouts to the “too big to fail” AIG and favored allowing the insurance giant to award retention bonuses to its best employees, everything* changed for me after I came across a photo (left) of Gerry Pasciucco wearing a t-shirt bearing the black-and-white image of Ernesto “Ché” Guevara.
