Hug-a-thon!: Arizona pre-teens protest two-second rule
God, humans are dumb.
The Arizona ban on high school hugging is playing out exactly like an episode of "The Partridge Family" or "Eight is Enough", or any of a handful of after school specials, or the movie "Footloose", for that matter.
Impose a blanket ban of teens doing just about anything, and the response will be they all want to do it.
Obviously, the school administrators didn't watch enough TV growing up.
Did you know that hugs are a gateway drug? At first you're just hugging your friends in the school hallway, but next thing you know you're blowing your dealer for meth in a back alley.
...which leads, inevitably, to heavy petting.
Hugs ARE a gateway drug. Once I got hugged, and now I'm an addict living in a cardboard box on the Ave.
It seems rather disingenuous to pile on McCain, especially when McCain is living up to his sterling reputation of fighting corruption in the military industrial complex. This paragraph, from this PI article, should not be overlooked:
Tabella bouncer found not guilty.

But on a positive note, Gov. Napolitano has rejected federal abstinence-only education funds and will be teaching the kids about safe sex. Much to the fundies horror.

Now I remember why I block flash adds. BOOOOOOOOO to autoplaying sound on webpages.
Extra who was sleeping girl in Hillary ad is barely-voting age Obamatron. Wants to make counter ad.
@6 here's a quote from that article:
"We have a very high burden" of proof, [City Attorney Tom Carr] said. "We occasionally lose them. It doesn't mean we were wrong."
i'm not sure where to begin with that "it doesn't mean we were wrong" bit. yes, yes it does. you were wrong. you took this guy to trial, and it took a jury 20 minutes to say you were wrong. and it wasn't because of a technicality.
Oh, I'm sure Tom Carr says the same thing when he convicts somebody. "It doesn't mean they did it. We occasionally win them."
Those crazy, wacky juries and their adorable little way of picking a verdict. You never know what they'll do next, but you gotta love 'em.
@8 Yeah, it's really not surprising considering it's the biggest "Mormon town" in the state.
ha! oh, juries are so cute.
Clay Bennett has a black soul, almost as black as the corroded shell that resides within Howard Schultz.
I thought Howard Schultz had a soul shaped like a breakfast sandwich.
the right kind of shell can kind of look like a breakfast sandwich.
Blay Clennet's also out dominating the Seattle night life, right?
