Matthew Yglesias pointed out that while we consider Nazi stuff taboo, Stalinist/Communist stuff is practically kitsch now: "When I lived in the Boston area, I used to go to People's Republic in Central Square. When I'm in New York City I've been known to frequent KGB Bar and while I think it may have closed, Nikita on MacDougal Street was definitely more Nikita Khruschev than La Femme Nikita."
If I opened a restaurant here in Ventura, I know where it would go, and what we'd sell, and even what we'd call it: Ernesto's Beach Pizza. Not offensive, but certainly an awful name, no?
