The Associated Press reported in March that dozens of rapists and child molesters have taken higher education classes at taxpayer expense while confined to treatment centers.
“Today, the most insane wasteful spending program in America comes to an end,” Rep. Ric Keller, R-Fla., said on the House floor Thursday before his plan won approval.
Keller cited the AP report that some offenders were using the financial aid to buy clothes, DVD players and music CDs — sometimes after they dropped their classes.
The provision affects 20 states that allow violent sex offenders to be held indefinitely after they have served their prison sentences because they are likely to re-offend.
Prison inmates are ineligible for Pell Grants under a 1994 law, but sexual predators have qualified once they are transferred from prison to treatment centers.
A little-noticed provision of a broader higher education bill makes such offenders ineligible for Pell Grants, the nation’s premier financial aid program for low-income students, starting July 1, 2009.

Thanks for visiting the funnest gossip blog online. See, I like you this much to send you a special message. Tell all your friends and co-workers cause this site will be huge one day.
Pregnancy is so fun! Pregnancy is so cute! Pregnancy is so romantic, it’s so chic! All these young Hollywood baby mamas are definitely sending the wrong message. Their lives are simple. For people as broke ass as me, if we got knocked up, there would be no nanny, no chef and personal trainer to help slim us down, and we wouldn’t still be able to go to concerts and vacays and hang out with friends as often.
You know I heart Ashlee and Pete’s adorable relationship, but with Juno, Knocked Up, Jamie Lynn and all these young bitches getting knocked up, not getting dumped by their baby daddies, and gaining so much attention for rocking their baby bumps, it makes me a little concerned.
Jamie said she had a “perfect” pregnancy and delivery and OK! magazine printed that? That’s dangerous. I’m so glad I’m not a young, impressionable, horny teenager today. I’m just an older, impressionable, horny adult today who knows how to use protection correctly. Knock on wood.
Getting in some frequent-flying miles before baby arrives, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and husband Pete Wentz soak up the rays at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago the day after taping FNMTV in Hollywood with Miley Cyrus.

No, pervs, I’m not talking about those lips. The troll Olsen refuses to say anything about Heath Ledger, and she’s seeking immunity from prosecution. Why so skurred, Mary-Kate?!
Mary-Kate Olsen is refusing to talk to federal investigators about pal Heath Ledger’s death until she is granted immunity from prosecution, the New York Post reported Monday. The Dark Knight star, 28, had died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs and OxyContin.
Though Olsen’s attorney has rejected multiple requests from federal officials to talk to the actress, she could face a grand-jury subpoena to testify, according to the Post.
Unlike inquiry into Ledger’s death by the New York Police Department, which was completed with Olsen’s cooperation, federal investigators are seeking information from the actress about where he got his drugs and medicines.
Now I’m even more suspicious of her troll ass than I was before. What kind of drug rings is MK running? Why is she so afraid? And why is she trying to be above the law? Someone should yank her out of bed by her thong, throw her in a cop car and question her for as long as they wanna. Speak up, bitch!

Memphis station WMC-TV reports that, according to Williams,
Freeman’s 1997 Nissan Maxima was heading eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 when the car went off the edge of the road and overturned several times before coming to a stop.
Once emergency crews – using the jaws of life – removed Freeman and the passenger, both were airlifted from the accident scene to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis, where a spokesperson says Freeman is currently in serious condition.
“All I can say is one word: His condition is ’serious,’ ” says Kathy Stringer, the hospital rep. She had no information on the other passenger.
Gawd, I hope he’s okay. TMZ is reporting that Morgan may have fallen asleep at the wheel. Freeman has broken several ribs and injured his knee.
Sending good vibes to Morgan and his passenger.
