Have you punched your state senator today?

Are you sick and tired of the person who was elected to represent you? Are you tired of your elected representative not standing up to someone else's elected representative? If this is you, then it's time to take action and punch your state senator.

Alabama made national news again - although this time it wasn't for a natural disaster......well, considering that it has to do with one Alabama State Senator punching another Alabama State Senator, that might still be considered a 'natural disaster' by some.

Senator Charles Bishop (R, Jasper....but formerly D, Jasper, some years ago, from what I understand), got called a S.O.B. - most likely prounounced something like "SumBitch" - by Senator Lowell Barron (D, Fyffe).

The words resulted in Bishop punching Barron in the head, and aside from the 62% pay raise the senate gave themselves this year, this has been the only action seen during this legislative session.

The fight marked the end of the legislative session, and each senator involved went home with their now-$50,000 salary for their part-time job, proving that here in Alabama, we truly don't get what we pay for.
