That photo always reminds me of the old "What kind of wood doesn't float?" joke.

LMBO! What's so funny, is that it is so believeable, from a family history point of view. Billy McKinney is widely reported to have once threatened another legislator with getting knifed, if not actually brandishing one, in the well of the Georgia House.

IMO, the fight was probably over Spanish. There's always some nut on the plane that feels everyone that wants to visit Puerto Rico or especially live there should be forced to speak Spanish.

IMHO, when the ingrates start paying all of our bills and sending us $17 BILLION dollars in cash, for every 4 million of us, each year, 10's of thousands of federal and private sector jobs, Food stamps, Welfare and $2.5 Billion dollar Urban Trains, then they can demand we speak Spanish in Puerto Rico.

You should hear some of the stories of what's happened to non-Spanish speakers that wind up in Puerto Rico's civil courts. It's the freaking 'Spanish Inquisition' all over again.

If an English speaking U.S. Taxpayer, that's had their tax dollars confiscated all their lives to support Puerto Rico while they lived stateside, moves to Puerto Rico and winds up in their civil courts for any reason, the fun starts at $75 an hour for a translator.

LOL!
