gimme back those falsies!

It's Slow News Day in Olympia, apparently. (Brian Baird won't be at Capital until 7:00.) Perfect for a Friday diversion:

Robert Henry Stahl, 62, was charged Thursday in Delaware Circuit Court with felony robbery and battery causing bodily injury, a misdemeanor. If convicted of robbery, he could face two to eight years in prison.

Police and prosecutors said they did not know if Stahl had retained an attorney.

Billie Townsend, 56, told police he went to a bar on July 27 to pay Stahl money he owed him, then Stahl asked him to go outside and started punching him repeatedly.

During the fight, Stahl allegedly put Townsend in a headlock and removed his false teeth. "He said, 'You ain't getting these back,'" Townsend told police.

Insert your own analogy.

If you can't beat 'em....wish you could.

Corporal punishment has been illegal in the public schools here in Washington for the better part of 15 years now.

Over at the Seattle PI, however, there's a groundswell of support for bringing the paddle back.

This is why comment sections are fun to read, and this is also why it's good that the internet doesn't run the world.
