BOSTON -- Ellen Frankel stands just 4-foot-8 inches tall, a size that allowed larger co-workers to playfully scoop her up at the office and make remarks about her height. Some even patted her on the head.

Everyone will have special rights except WHAM’s.

White, heterosexual, able-bodied men.

What about the ugly? They need rights too. And the stupid. A business should not be able to discriminate against the stupid when it comes to hiring.

Cue up the Randy Newman song!

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live

They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet

Well, I don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Round here

Short People are just the same
As you and I
(A Fool Such As I)
All men are brothers
Until the day they die
(It’s A Wonderful World)

Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
Short People got nobody
To love

They got little baby legs
And they stand so low
You got to pick ‘em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time
Well, I don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
Don’t want no Short People
‘Round here

Considering some of the places I've worked over the last 30 years, I'd say "The Stupid" are very well represented in the workforce.........perhaps we need "reverse discrimination' for the stupid.........

Looks the the NYT got your memo, otherwise Helen Thomas would be a bag lady.

Writing laws to make people be polite to each other is a fool’s mission. Not surprising so many politicians are eager to try.

There’s a law for every possibility, apparently.

Yep. Let’s protect the short and fat people with discrimination law. And then, let’s impose Affirmative Action on the NBA to get them hired. /s

Well, Ellen Frankel had better not move to Washington state or other places that would require she sit in a child booster seat while in a car!

Yes. Everybody shall be able to choose his or her job function and shall be able to choose his or her annual salary. Businesses are no longer privately owned, but are public property owned by Big Government.

Social engineers are doing their best to turn them all into guilt-ridden, pill-popping babies. “White” may be accurate, but they are not all "men" by true definition.

Well judging from the responses I get when I call customer service, they are not discriminating against the stupid, it is the intelligent ones that aren’t hired!LOL.

If our local fast food restaurants are any gauge of the situation, I assure you business is not discriminating against the stupid.

That's it! We need a law that there will be a law for every possibility, and a new agency to enforce it.

About time!

We demand our own socialist state! One like Cuba or North Korea, with flag-waving, goose-stepping soldiers, not the Western kind where they gut the military, burn flags, and blame themselves for everything!

What about the really good looking? I am “man pretty”. None of my co-workers takes me seriously.
