Morning Blur - Reading only headlines

Culture War in The State Journal-Register this morning.

Headlines online this morning included "Springfield is a Pizza Town." A story about the Springfield Kiwanis Club having its annual pizza extravaganza as a fundraiser. The feature article included a photo of a big juicy pepperoni pizza, slightly charred just right so you get the impression that the pepperoni appeared to be slightly fried. In contrast of course, a story about Hazel Dell school kicking off its "Healthy Choices Initiative" with a nice $87,000 grant from Kohl's department store. What's it going to be pizza or plain milk?

Just minutes ago a news story was posted about a kid who burglarized his own grandmother's house. With the kind of self-control kids show, the winner will be the pizza.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, states where text-messaging is banned is showing increases in accidents due to texting because the texters keep texting, but they hide their phones in their laps and look down, instead of holding the phone up so they can still see the road. So far it's 0 for 2 against self-control.

I guess that's how it goes for self-control. Good luck you closet pizza eating sneaky texters.
