Gastric-bypass, in case you haven't had it, is a radical and radically expensive stomach operation popular with overweight weathermen, like NBC's Al Roker. It is dangerous and not always effective. But when it works, it's much easier than dieting. And now it's free. Well, not to be outdone, Mississippi announced today that, from here on out, the state will cover silicone breast implants for eligible female students at Ole Miss on -- quote -- " aesthetic grounds.
