An Englishman in New York

…Is what I felt like, as the token Republican, playing in my first Tom Loftus Open.

I was reminded that fellow Republican Bill Kraus also golfed, but as I said, I was the token Republican.

…Glad to report no one shanked their iron shots into me for wearing my Thompson for Wisconsin golf shirt with my Bush-Cheney golf hat.

…Janesville State Rep. Mike Sheridan’s team won the scramble honors with a 2-under.

…WI Democrat Party Chair, Joe Wineke, said his score was honest…on the front nine. We call that, Pulling-a-Clinton, Joe.

…With mulligans costing $5.00 each, St. Rep. Dave Travis was seen pulling several $20 bills from the pro-shop’s ATM.

…As a Blue-Collar Kid From Janesville, it was good to see former Janesville State Senator, majority leader, and Tommy Cabinet Secretary, Tim Cullen, in good health.

…The father of the Do Not Call list , State Senator Jon Erpanbach, may, or may not, have been seen taking an illegal swim in the water hazard afterwards.

Not sure how I made the invite list. Perhaps it was my Norwegian heritage that bought me a pass from the former ambassador to Norway.
