 Oh Lord, when will that woman learn to engage her brain before opening
her mouth. But then again, everyone has opinions, and this being America,
she is entitled to hers, no matter how kooky it seems.

Maybe she needs to stop engaging her brain.  Her head is loaded with bad 
code, and she needs to switch to the screen saver mode in public, simple 
happy faces drifting across the t.v.  Nevermind the reports on what she's 
really thinking.  I don't want to know.

Marge has done & said a  lot worse specifically related to Reds baseball
operations that  I care about more than her views on Hitler.  Such antics
have made her a media target for when she says/does anything apparently
off beat.  Witness that this item even exists; the PC hysteria (bullshit) in
this country is such that some topics are apparently off-limits for
any kind of opining - sheesh...

Well I think that Billy Martin couldn't be happier, at least Marge has taken
some of the focus off of him and his big mouth!

RE #4 Bubu, Billy Martin's big mouth was shut for good on Christmas Day 1989,
when he was killed in a traffic accident.

Or were you thinking of George Steinbrener?

<bubu hides in  a basket> Yes I was thinking of George and don't know why
Billy came to mind..Thanks Bruin...

 Billy had his moments too. But he was the best manager that the Yankees or
any team ever had, meaning he won games

Uh, wrong!  Even Ralph Houk had 3 titles with the Yanks, more than Billy
had any/every-where.  And Ralph ain't in first place by a long shot!

OK, Marge baby is gonna get "suspended" big time for another thing she has
said/done just recently.  I missed what this was all about.  Can someone
please briefly summarize the "incident"?
