You know, emotionally, I have a lot of sympathy for the “dads rights” folks. I don’t want my children ever taken away from me. But, if you want to be taken seriously, I’d hope the guys over at the Thurston County Family Court Reporter blog stop being sexist jerks: Well, Ms. Murphy, I hope you…

Ken says Obama lifted lines from “The American President,” which seems like BS
But, I’m too busy right now to really look, and since Ken doesn’t actually give any actual examples, I’m willing to just think he’s blowing smoke. But, I’d actually like to know.
