It Was Good Enough For Gypsy Rose Lee

Why is it I feel a Vaillancarnak bit coming on? Riddle me this, oh great jokemeister.  Who is that once boasted, "Some of my best friends are pole dancers"?  I guess we'll have to wait for my TV show next week for the answer.  "Having never before seen the question, Vaillancarnak divines the answer to be...."  Here's the cross promotional tie-in.  The show is, of course, "The Liberty Express" which airs Mondays at 10 p.m., Thursdays at 9 p.m., and Sundays at 6 a.m. and noon on Manchestertv23 (always available on line at vimeo.com/channels/libertyx).  As promised, I take you to Alte Synagogue in Essen this week...call Alan Dershowitz...he needs to watch it.  We also do some baseball trivia which I'll offer here tomorrow.  Babe, The Legend Comes To Life by Robert W. Creamer (good book).  The Babe undoubtedly enjoyed a pole dance or two in his day!
