D.C. might have found the answer to world peace, the desire for more intimacy and the Hug for Frank's Monkey.

The Cuddle Party offers touch and hugs and even kisses, as moderated by the Cuddle Lifeguard, for those who might just "need a hug." Or perhaps this is the answer for women who don't get enough snuggling from their partners without the pressure for sex. Or even those who need a good snuggle while his or her partner enjoys a post-coital snore.

"Several of the D.C. cuddlers are still high on their experience. Ursula Esser, 28, of Arlington, Va., says the cuddling gave her an epiphany. She realized she has been starved for emotional intimacy. Even Patten says she might cuddle again. She feels she made several good friends, which is strange, she admits, since she doesn't know their last names."

Hug Me!

I agree Kingfish, just lob it. We can tolerate troublemakers here. So, I'll start, thank the judge that let Lynn Stewart off. with only 28 months. they wanted to put her in prison for 30 years! she's 67. she has defended , well you all know. or should. this government will put you in jail if you just, fill in the blank. be nervous, very nervous. she had many supporters, 1000 letters, she made a few mistakes which she admits to , and I can't find because the NYT doesn't allow access to past articles, never no mind. I love that judge. so, let's get it started. (and I do like the get it started lady, I forget her name,, Fergie... london bridge....yes, I can listen to that, and I'm really old! ) peace , work for it somehow. let's start a blog about that. and don't go adopting kids ... let's look in our own neighborhoods first I say.

I want to be the lifeguard. With the whistle. And yell FOUL, FOUL, FOUL! PENALTY! FOUL! Wait, I'm confused because of football season. But I still want the whistle. I can give evil-lifeguard eye.
