A bill in Mississippi would make it illegal to serve obese patrons. When I first read this, words escaped me, and that is rare. Then I thought: Hey, send a copy to the UK. They love surrealistic nonsense like this. Then, I thought: This is too fat a target. So I went to the Mississippi Legislature Web site and looked up HB 282. Sure enough, it was a measure, since dead, to regulate lawyer advertising. And I posted it as such.
Ah, but I was wrong. When I looked again at the bill, I noticed it was from 2006. So, I did another search and, by golly, three legislators, two of whom are Republicans who I thought are supposed to oppose big government, want to force restaurants into being the fat police! I only have one question: When did Mississippi become San Francisco?
