Watchdog

Speaking of insufferable, elitist, whiny liberals (see post below) and their tiresome causes, such as saving Earth for future generations to enjoy, Friday night I saw a new musical based on the 1980s movie "The Toxic Avenger."

It is in previews in New Brunswick, N.J., where it opens officially Oct. 10. I thought it was clever and cute, with a fantastic, versatile five-person cast.

One of the writers is David Bryan, Bon Jovi keyboardist, avid Giants fan and world-class shofar blower.

Yes, I said hello to him after the show. No, I was not comped. Mrs. WatchDog bought the tickets for my birthday just like an ordinary civilian.

(UPDATE: Here's a review of opening night in the Star Ledger.)

I'm no expert on kabbalah, and I don't want to be, but I do know this:

If Madonna really has lured Alex Rodriguez into that circle, I am officially snagging him to fill the long-challenging shortstop position on my all-time Jewish All-Star team.

Lou Boudreau didn't belong there anyway, as even though his mother was Jewish he was raised Christian.

Al Rosen is entrenched at third base, so it's time for A-Rod to go back to his natural position.

Thanks, Mrs. Ritchie!

June 8 the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame will induct eight new members, including announcers Tony Kornheiser and Sam Rosen, at The Suffolk Jewish Community Center in Commack.

The other members of the Class of '08: Olympic swimmer Lenny Krayzelburg; Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug; Olympic fencing champion Daniel Bukantz; football Hall of Famer Ron Mix; University of Tennessee men’s basketball head coach Bruce Pearl; and St. John’s basketball player Hy Gotkin.

Also among those being honored at the event will be Cornell laxer Max Seibald.

Here is a link to the Hall's Web site.

I am thinking of attending to start lobbying for my induction in '09. I'm overdue!
