Wiconsinites Won't Lose Drinking Time Saturday Night

MADISON, Wis. -- Gov. Jim Doyle is taking care of the last round of beers for those out late Saturday night.

Doyle signed a bill Tuesday allowing bars to remain open until 3:30 a.m. Sunday and on whatever night in the future that daylight-saving time kicks in.

Under current law, bars have to close at 2:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Without the change, bars would have had to close at 2 a.m. Sunday when the clock moves ahead an hour to 3 a.m.

RACK our legislators for having their priorities in order.

Not sure where you guys got your Phd in the maths, but the bars in Wisconsin won't be open a minute longer than they ordinarily would have been.

Think about it.

I understand that. The important point was to not lose any drinking time.

Only the hardline leftists among them, not the whole party.

Since Lieberman left they're all hardline leftists.

I'm not, so I really don't give a fuck.

I'm also not in Wisconsin, but I know a good idea when I see one. I've called my governor seven times today.

RACK our legislature again. Drinking. Gambling. Next month they’ll probably legalize recreational drugs and prostitution.

MADISON, Wis. -- It might be one of the most routinely violated state laws, especially this time of year.

But a bill being drafted in the Wisconsin Legislature would remove any tinge of guilt, or illegality, for anyone who runs or participates in an office pool for the NCAA basketball tournament and other sporting events.

Under current law, gambling is illegal except in state-sanctioned settings such as the lottery, tribal casinos and church bingo parlors.

The bill would legalize pools for such events as the basketball tournament and the Super Bowl.

It's being introduced by Democratic state Rep. Josh Zepnick of Milwaukee and Sen. Jeff Plale of South Milwaukee.

Even if the bill passes both the Senate and Assembly, and wins the approval of Gov. Jim Doyle, it won't get done in time to help those who want to organize a legal pool this year.
