OT but funny
Dick Tuck was one of the great political pranksters, and one his greatest pranks involved getting several of very pregnant women to walk in front of the Cow Palace in San Francisco where the Republicans where holding their convention in 1968. Hanging over their bellies were signs touting the campaign slogan of the leading Republican candidate, they read " Nixon’s the One"

The only kind of humour which might be acceptable in connection with the NSDAP period in Germany is humour which shows how pitiful, disgusting and criminal the NSDAP and its minions were. The above attempt at being funny did not fulfil this requirement in the least.

don't condone this
and i think the admonishment serves a purpose. it is a community site and should be self-policing in that regard.
relatedly, i suspect the reason the hitler cubs winter meeting video that was so circulated last year never showed up here is because it was deleted once posted. am i right?
Think of it this way
It’s like Caucasian-Americans reenacting the battle of Wounded Knee for a Sioux audience. It will never be “long enough” or ok.
"The country is full of good coaches. What it takes to win is a bunch of interested players." -Don Coryell, ex-San Diego Chargers Coach
Caucasian-Americans?
Really? I think for most of us, “white” is perfectly acceptable nomenclature. Let’s not hyphenate ourselves into stupidity.
"There's more to life than profits...like, you know, slurpees and stuff." ~Randy Marsh
Double-standard much?
Seriously, I can’t stand it when people can use certain terms for some “groups” but not others
Let’s not hyphenate ourselves into stupidity.
It’s already too late for that. The PC world would like a word with you.
"The country is full of good coaches. What it takes to win is a bunch of interested players." -Don Coryell, ex-San Diego Chargers Coach
I don't refer to any group with a hyphenated term.
So, no double standard for me. I detest political correctness. You can disagree if you like, but I don’t much care what the PC police think.
"There's more to life than profits...like, you know, slurpees and stuff." ~Randy Marsh
Me neither
but when I’m not in the comforts of my closest cohorts I tend to use these PC terms, as not to offend fragile minds. I just have a problem with the double-standards in our society. Like this one for instance- Tiger Woods is considered African-American/black, yet he’s 50% Thai. Seriously, shouldn’t Thai people take offense to this?

Pinella's WSCR interview this morning was excuse making run amuk
Piniella said 13,000 times the Cubs were injury plagued in 2009. Also said the team was hurt by the fact that so many young players had to be called upon to play a role. Like Micah Hoffpauir and Jake Fox. In between stuttering his way through the interview. I dislike immensely managers who look for excuses.
The Blackhawks and the Stanley Cup in 2010.
Perhaps you should get a new BCB ID then
You have changed before. Perhaps something like “Cubs Suck” or “Jim Hendry Eats Donuts” would work better for you.

What part of "Photo Caption Fun" did you not understand?
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Hoffpauir and Fox?
They hardly even played!!!
I agree with you though, BLou…I’m tired of hearing the excuses and Kool-Aid drinkers as well. We should have completely new management right now, from top to bottom.
Right.
Because the current management hasn’t put the Cubs in the playoffs three of the past seven seasons, nor had winning years in five of those seven, nor spent a ton of money trying to make the team better.
Oh, wait. Yes, they have.
And regardless of your beliefs, Jake Fox is not the solution.
