We offer this little news item without editorial comment.
We had the Republican National Convention last week, we have the Democratic National Convention this week, and out of the Little Rock Police Department, we have this incident report.
A Little Rock state senator was assaulted by a stuffed alligator in the hands of his girlfriend. The fellow suffered some cuts and bruises.
He did not comment that he was up to his butt in alligators. But the woman has been charged with third degree domestic battery.
