Perhaps you are wondering why I have the flag of Ohio and that of Cuba above, hmm, vaguely similar, no?
I take a short well deserved vacation, and look what happens!
Merits of the case aside, I point you to the photograph by Tony Dejak, AP of Ohio Common Pleas Judge James Burke.
For God's sake... the man has CHE GUEVARA and BARACK OBAMA posters hanging on the wall over his head.
Now the Obama poster is one thing, but then again it is his, (presumably?) private office and not his chambers, in which case it could possibly be construed as a state endorsement of a particular candidate (god...let's hope it's his private office).
But Che? CHE? Depending on your political perspective he is at best an idealistic Marxist-Maoist-Socialist revolutionary, at worst... the butcher of La Cabana.
Let's ignore the latter and simply ask the question:

What is a poster of a Marxist-Maoist-Socialist revolutionary doing hanging on the wall of an Ohio judge?
Good people of Ohio... please feel free to opine, as I certainly 'don't get it', and one might say am flabbergasted.

Update: A simple google search of Obama and Che Guevara leads to many links to this Fox 26 news story:

Which in and of itself would be unremarkable aside from the Cuban flag with an image of Che superimposed upon it hanging upon the wall in an Obama campaign office. Keep in mind that this is not an official campaign HQ office, but one funded by the volunteers.
I wouldn't generally be considered a conspiracy theorist... but these people are beginning to scare me.
How far to the left do we intend to go?
