How can someone be speaking in front of a Christmas Tree
looking as sour as this guy? Did someone just remind him that
he's a state senator from Alabama?
This is Alabama State Senator Shadrack McGill (R) and no, I did not take that from a Dungeons and Dragons character sheet. That is seriously his name. And I have a bit of a kerfuffle with Slim Shady-rack here in regards to one of his recent stances towards Alabama teachers. Admittedly I did not, up until now, know that Alabama had teachers, but that doesn't mean that I'm unwilling to stand up for them when the time comes.
According to ThinkProgress, McGill voted against raising the annual salary of teachers not because they were undeserving, but because "It's a Biblical principle." First of all, what an asshole. Second of all, for all of the talk the Republican Conservatives drum up about following the Constitution, they sure don't know much about it. What the fuck ever happened to the separation between church and state, guys?
