From BergersBeat.com:
For the first time, the columnist has not received a ticket to the Veiled Prophet Ball. Perhaps members are in a snit over revealing the identity of the masked one. Sacred cows — like all cows — have many virtues. (Although, in the end, do they not still just amount to beef and milk?) To some, the Ball is our town’s most precious heritage. But for those who don’t consider it precious, just think what New York City would trade to get it: Eliot Spitzer, Charlie Rangel, Jewish weapons of mass destruction like bagels and knishes, and any number of financial/scandales du jour.
