Time for another non-regular installment of What the Hell is Going On In... series. Today we ask the question, "What the HELL is going on in South Carolina?!" Well, I'm glad I asked, because it sure is funny!
South Carolina's NBC affiliate, WIS10, offers us a report on some recent shenanigans within that state's Assembly. Or, to be more specific, within the Assembly's Judiciary Committee, where a bill making cockfighting (of the poultry variety) a felony punishable by five years in jail was sent on for due consideration while a bill making acts of domestic violence a felony was tabled by State Asshole and Neanderthal-in-Chief, Representative John Graham Altman (R-District 119-Charleston).
This kills the domestic violence bill for the remainder of 2005, keeping such a crime a misdemeanor. Feel free to beat the shit out of your wife in front of your kids.
Don't take my word for it. Read the dialogue between Altman and a reporter, or his comments about domestic violence. Meathead does not begin to describe the man's hump-eat-shit-kill Cro-Magnon mentality.
