Could it be Pitney?

This has to be a spoof, right? Someone goofing around? I haven't heard of Raw Story. Is it like The Onion? If not, if this story is real, I'm worried that there is no future in satire. Really, how do you exaggerate this?
House Bill 282 aims to require dining establishments with seating capacity of five or more to follow guidelines set by the state's health department to determine a prospective customer's obesity, turning away those considered too fat to serve.
And you think Mean Martin Manning is a satire. Maybe it isn't. Maybe it's history written before the fact.

Could Alice Pitney be behind this? Could she be Big Dietician?

It must be a joke.

Update: I see that David Harsanyi has blogged about this. The story is in USA Today. No joke, I guess. The bill is not expected to "garner much support in the statehouse."
