Remember when those parents tried to blame Judas Priest for making their kids commit murder? Here we go again: Seattle Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson (D-36) is sponsoring an absurd bill which would allow people in Washington State to sue manufacturers or retailers of violent video games if kids commit crimes. Much better idea: Dickerson's other bill to prevent judges from denying pregnant women divorces, an issue that came to light when The Stranger reported on domestic-violence victim Shawnna Hughes' inability to get a divorce. It passed the House 89-0 on Monday. Meanwhile Seattle Sen. Adam Kline (D-37) has a compromise deal in place to modify the state's draconian three-strikes law, allowing those convicted of lesser felonies to get a parole hearing after 20 years. Way to go Seattle liberals!--SK
