I caught this on Drudge:
Mississippi Politicians Seek To Ban Fats
New bill would make it illegal for restaurants to serve the obese
FEBRUARY 1--Mississippi legislators this week introduced a bill that would make it illegal for state-licensed restaurants to serve obese patrons. Bill No. 282, is the brainchild of three members of the state's House of Representatives, Republicans W. T. Mayhall, Jr. and John Read, and Democrat Bobby Shows. The bill, which is likely dead on arrival, proposes that the state's Department of Health establish weight criteria after consultation with Mississippi's Council on Obesity. It does not detail what penalties an eatery would face if its grub was served to someone with an excessive body mass index.
Picture this:
A 16 year old pimply faced kid
behind the counter at KFC
telling some fat guy he can't
have the 12 piece extra crispy bucket
of chicken lips he ordered.
Yikes!

check this out - your camera bag inspired me to get something cool for my laptop. I found that the amy butler scrap tote is a PERFECT fit...so it has no flap (open/exposed top) but i love it still and it has organizing pockets inside too...its padded too. ;-) will visit tracy joy for my camera tote
Mississippi has historically had the most forward-thinking legislation, haven't they??
Mississippi is credited for the most overweight state if I'm correct.... I'm no skinny minnie... but I'm not obese either... who has the right to decided who puts what in their mouths???? I think this is sad!! :(
OMG that's ridiculous.....and it screams of discrimination...I'm sure there isn't a chance in H@#$ of it going thru.
This is a strange world we live in...
