Brat Day in Madison

I love Brat Day in Madison. It's just one giant brat fry and softball game mixed in with a little 'mingling' from Sheboygan area business people and the Chamber of Commerce.

This almost got a SNAFUed this year with the resulting Russ Decker/Tavern League run-in with the State Ethics Board. Instead of $5 for a plate of brats, beans, and a beverage; it became a $7 plate of brats, beans, and a beverage.

Besides, this is the only thing that matters on Brat Day in Madison.

The Republicans buried the Democrats, 16-8, in the legislative softball game, putting five runs up in the last inning to salt the contest away.

The umpires during the game include the Governor, the Attorney General, State Supreme Court Justices, and other Executive Branch Department heads.

The Governor does not have the power to veto away runs. How unfortunate?
