It's a slow news day in the Texas Panhandle.
EVERY day is a slow news day in the Texas Panhandle, plus I've run out of horse pics.
I found the following news article humorous humourous even if it did take place across the pond.
Hear ye, hear ye, MP3...
LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's top lawyer decided on Thursday that no action would be taken against a Muslim woman accused of listening to an MP3 music player under her hijab while on jury duty. The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was thrown off the jury considering a murder trial when one of her fellow jurors reported seeing headphone wires coming out of her headscarf.
Attorney General Baroness Patricia Scotland had "carefully" considered the case and decided not to press criminal charges, saying it would be too difficult to prove if the woman was guilty, a spokeswoman for her office said.
"(She) has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of proving beyond reasonable doubt any alleged contempt of court," the spokeswoman said.
The suspected incident had occurred during a trial in June at London's Blackfriars Court of a man accused of bludgeoning his wife to death.
The case was briefly halted while the woman, who could have been jailed if found guilty of contempt, was discharged from the jury and arrested.
At the time she was arrested, she was listening to "Jihad Hajji and the Baghdad Bombers" with their #7 hit on the charts, going to the top with an AK-47 bullet, "Infidel Rock".
I like the studio version, where they're backed up by that heavenly choir the "72 Virgins".
Keep that under your hat, though, wouldja?
