Brickbat: Need a Hug?
Officials at Adam Road Primary School in Western Australia gave Amber Rome, 12, detention for hugging a classmate after the bell rang. The school adopted a "no hugging" policy last year after some parents claimed their children were harmed by excessive hugging and others said their children were left out of the hugging.

Also, now we know why invisible furry hand was late to the PM Links thread last night. Can't use her mobile while she's in detention.

I could use one...but not from any school kid or any of you jerks.
I guess now we have to put up with that creepy socialist scum T o n y splooging all over our threads.
The only silver lining I see is getting to watch Captain zero step on his own dick over and over again until hopefully he does it bad enough to fall flat on his face.
God, I am depressed.

Another silver lining is that some Republicans will at least pretend to support small government - not that they actually will but they will pretend in the same way that some Democrats pretend to be antiwar when a Republican is in office.

This is happening all over the USA as well. It is effing SICK to punish a kid for hugging another kid. The world is becoming a cold, cold world. The idiot who came up with this policy needs to be thrown in jail and have other inmates told that he is a pedophile.
