In an effort to establish local cred, HuffPoChi had John Cusack, a Chicago expatriate, composed a harmlessly vanilla ode to our Windy City.
Unfortunately, in that short piece, Mr. Cusack misspelled the name of former Cub, Larry Biittner. And he misspelled the name of former Blackhawk, Chris Chelios.
And the HuffPoChi's inaugural post repeatedly misspelled the name of a former member of the Chicago Bulls -- a fella named Michael Jordan.
Michael Freakin' Jordan!
Chicagoans' notorious homerism will no doubt lead them to forgive Mr. Cusack's transgressions, but our utter contempt for phonies could limit the long-term appeal of Huffington Post Chicago.

I sent a crabby e-mail to the Beachwood Reporter about this.
Mr. Chicago also misspelled Eugene O'Neill's name in his big smooch to Irish writers (though O'Neill was born in New York). Other transgressions: Eddie Gaedel pinch-hit for the St. Louis Browns not the White Sox, and Sammy Sosa wasn't on the Cubs in 1989 with Andre Dawson when they won the NL East.
Cusack lost all credibility when he pretended to be a Sox fan during the World Series. He's more annoying than Jim Belushi in his pseudo-Chicago spokesmanship.

SCDZC,
Grandma, your clever name isn't fooling anyone. It obviously combines your fear of the Media with your fear of sodomy.
I already apologized for involuntarily committing you to that crooked nursing home we saw on 60 Minutes -- but you had clearly descended into a paranoid dementia.
Perhaps if you start taking your medicines again you will regain your mental health and stop being so preoccupied with anal sex.
Then we can talk about your possible release from the home.

It's not fear, it's mockery of your hero-worship.
