We All Need Hugs

I always believe that hard work deserves some attention. Whether it be with a reward or simply saying "Job well done". With help from the Turdpolisher, we were able to spread our message to the masses last year. So after handling Friday's Triskaidekaphobia then showing our affection on V-Day, another would be holiday has sprung up before President's Day. Time for us to come together again.

Someone has introduced us to "Hug A Journalist Day".

"This is just a fun thing I started to make us all feel better. It's not affiliated with any news organization or journalism organization. It's just me trying to be nice". - Judy Tong

Ms. Tong, I've have never met you but this a noble and long over due thought. A day not just for my fellow lens jockeys but for all our comrades who day in and day meet countless and never ending deadlines to inform and entertain the mass number of people. A day for the ones who must update the website every other second. A day just to say "Thank you for all that you do".

From the Big Raggedy to the Big Easy you are appreciated. From Jackson, Birmingham, and all the way to the Carolina's your work is appreciated.

I will take this idea to the Phallus Palace then the steps of the U.S. Capital to make this an annual holiday. Until then .....

.....let's give each other a hug and be thankful for what we love to do.
