The Don't Like Me 'Cause I'm Fat

See story below -- and what do you bet this cow will have all the charges dropped and/or countersue the judicuial district -- and probably win -- by claiming she is being discriominated against because she's a fat cow?
 
My company employed one, too, and it was only AFTER she was officially hired that she informned us she would be unable to go up and down the stairs, which was a requirement of her job because nucgh of the paperwork she needed to access was filed downstairs. So, another emoployee had to stop what she was doing whenever our cow needed a file downstairs. Then, our cow informed us that she had to start taking midday naps. We fired her fat ass and sure enough, she sued us for fat discrimination.
 
I have NO problem understanding and accepting people who have physical handicaps that prevent them from doing some types of work. I also don't have a problem accomodating suich opeoople to a poojint, as long as they are up front bout their limitations. What I, and most employers, have no tolerance for are those who expect the rest of us to coddle them because of a handicap which they alone brought on themselves (only 3% of obese men and women are obese due to genetics; the other 97% made themselves fat, uincluiding those who are even morbidly obese).
 
Society in gneral, is, in my opinion, also getting tired of having to acquiesce to every microcosm of the population who's decided they should be treated with greater dignity and respect because of their handicap or sexual preference or favorite flavor of ice cream or whatever other excuse he/she can come up to excuse their bad behavior, mistreatment of other people, or blatant disregard for the rules under which everyone else seems to be able to function.
 
In this case, Judge "Fats" Halverson stepped even further over the line by abusing her authority in a position where one is expected to perform his or her duties with the utmost decorum, and within very strict rules of conduct. But all the facts will be ignored as Fat People Everywhere and other "weight challenged" rights organizations who cry foul everytime one of their own is subjected to the rules by which the rest of us live, work and play.
 
LAS VEGAS,

Nevada (AP) -- Elizabeth Halverson is a judge. But the way courthouse staffers see it, she expects to be treated like a queen.

Judge Elizabeth Halverson will face hearings next month by a judicial discipline panel.

Her former bailiff, for example, says Halverson made him feel like a "houseboy." He says the judge -- who is obese and uses a motorized scooter to get around -- made him put her shoes on her feet, massage her back, cover her with a blanket for naps and make sure her oxygen tank was filled. He says she asked him, "Do you want to worship me from near or afar?"

Halverson also surrounded herself with her own hired guards, saying she did not trust the courthouse security force to protect her. Another time, she allegedly had her husband sworn in so that she could ask him under oath whether he had completed chores at home.

Since then, the 50-year-old Nevada district judge has been locked out of her Las Vegas courtroom, suspended from the bench and brought up on judicial-misconduct charges that include not only misusing her position and treating her staff like personal valets but also tainting juries and falling asleep on the bench.

Nevada's judicial discipline commission is preparing for a week of open hearings next month that could put an end to Halverson's career.

Many lawyers are unwilling to talk publicly about the case because of the powerful figures involved, but expect the proceedings to be entertaining, to say the least.

Halverson denies the allegations.

"We believe the Judicial Discipline Commission has overreached," said her attorney, John Arrascada. "It's apparent that some people believe her physical appearance somehow makes her unable to perform her duties as a judge." He added, "Last time I checked, being a judge doesn't require a beauty contest."
