“The current governor shall be king of Wisconsin for life.”
Believe it or not, Gov. Jim Doyle could have used his vast veto powers to sign this sentence into law as part of the state budget.
I made up and punched the sentence into the “Veto-Matic” and voila! — a Wisconsin monarchy. All Doyle would need is a moat and castle in Maple Bluff. But, alas, the Veto-Matic couldn’t find “moat” or “castle” among the 217,000 words in the state’s 2005-2007 spending plan.
You too can play God . . . I mean, governor, at www.vetomatic.com. The Web site is the brainchild of UW-Madison mechanical engineering student Dale Emmons.
