You have to love a story that makes you do a spit-take with your morning oatmeal. Today there were two.

First prize goes to this article about the lawsuit that 25 year old Matt Dubay, of Saginaw, Michigan, has filed to try to get out of paying child support.

The "logic" is that if a woman doesn't want to have a child, she can have an abortion, but a man has no similar recourse.

I guess Matt missed that day in health class when they did the condom demonstration.

A close second prize must be awarded to the story about young Adrian Missbrenner, in which he declares that he's suffered far more than the woman who was videotaped having sex with him and two of his friends and then later, while unconscious, being spat upon as guys scrawled lewd words on her body.

I hope Missbrenner's parents, who demonstrated their own contempt for the law by helping their son flee to Europe to try to escape the charges against him, are proud of the kid they've raised.
