Fatty go home, the saga continues

As expected, Will Saletan at Slate weighs in (pun intended) on the Mississippi anti-husky people bill. Although I expected that hater to agree with these Mississippians, Saletan says it's a bad idea, but he seems more concerned with the appearance of impropriety than with the actual discrimination against the big-boned. "Banning people from restaurants based on appearance," he says, "In Mississippi. Great idea."

I was not surprized to see that the bill was written by a Republican, Ted Mayhall, but it actually has bipartisan sponsorship. Of course, a white Baptist Democrat from Mississippi is probably hecka conservative, more so than the Republicans here in Seattle.
