Breaking News on Saggy Pants

Problem of saggy-pants "much bigger" than Constitution, says Mayor

Jackson, Mississippi Mayor Frank Melton says that even though the city council voted against an ordinance making it unlawful for people to wear saggy pants he still intends to issue an executive order enforcing the dress code. The city council voted 4-2 against the ordinance, saying it was unconstitutional.

"I certainly respect the Constitution," Melton said, "but we have some issues that are much bigger than the Constitution."

Mark Frauenfelder from BoingBoing opines "I'm not going to argue with him. Anyone smart enough to fold a handkerchief like that (see pic) must know what he's talking about."

Saggy pants are our house means someone needs a diaper change. Can we please make over-saturated diapers illegal too? Good luck Melton!
On a more serious note: I miss AMANDA! Will you come for my mom's wedding on Feb 14th? I'm looking for someone to sit on the back row with me and wear black.
