MySA.com: Lawmakers say they want schools safe for cupcakes:

Amid tense education funding debate, Texas House members paused Wednesday to take up a matter dear to school kids everywhere: cupcakes.

Legislators in a unanimous recorded vote cleared the way for public school students to bring the sweet treats - complete with candy sprinkles - to celebrate their birthdays.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Susan Combs, whose agency oversees the state's school lunch program, imposed new healthy food rules beginning this academic year aimed at limiting or eliminating junk food and food that competes with cafeteria fare.

In August, soon after setting the new rules, Combs issued a "cupcake clarification" stating that cakes and cupcakes could be brought to school for birthdays. The agriculture department did, however, recommend that birthday parties be scheduled after the last lunch period.

No word yet on whether the issue discriminates against the whites or browns...

...Cupcake batter, dumbass!

Bad Karma for BSU Police

BSU police car involved in crash:

A Ball State University police officer disregarded a stop sign while on-duty and ran into a student motorist in an off-campus neighborhood, police said.

No injuries were reported in the accident, which happened Monday night south of The Village, Ball State Police Chief Gene Burton said.

Patrolmen Robert Duplain, however, could be reprimanded pending a department investigation into the accident.

Name sound familiar?

It should.

In 2003, Duplain fatally shot an unarmed Ball State student while investigating a report of prowler trying to get into a near-campus home.

Doing detective's work my ass...

Lame Reality

AP Wire | 03/05/2005 | Norville to anchor 'Edition' from home:

Now HERE'S a good excuse for working at home. Deborah Norville will anchor Monday's program of 'Inside Edition' from her home on Long Island, N.Y., to try to give viewers a taste of what Martha Stewart's home confinement is like.

Norville will be fitted with the same type of ankle bracelet that is being used to monitor Stewart's location now that she has been released from prison.

If only it was real...

Rock Your Body Right

AP Wire | 03/05/2005 | Backstreet Boys to go on tour this month:

NEW YORK - Backstreet's back. Again. Backstreet Boys, the boy band who demanded 'I Want It That Way,' have announced a set of tour dates starting March 21 in New York.

They won't play Madison Square Garden this time around - or any of their previous gigantic arena hotspots. The Boys' 13-city tour is a club-only affair, stopping at such intimate venues as the State Theatre in Detroit and the 9:30 Club in Washington.

Not by choice, but because those are the only venues they'll actually be able to "sell-out."
