"Congress pleads not guilty by reason of insanity"

That was a headline in story in the local paper today...seriously...but as it was on page 3, I kinda knew it was some local crime.

Still, that gets your attention. If Jay Leno paid folks for the wacky newspaper stories he uses, this one would be worth $50, at least.

Here's a bit more from the local CBS affiliate website:

"The Essex Junction woman charged with stabbing her niece to death plans to use the insanity defense at trial. Thirty-one-year-old Latonia Congress is charged with first-degree murder in the 2009 stabbing death of 16-year-old Shatavia "CeCe" Alford following an argument over laundry. Congress pleaded not guilty to the charges."

In other Vermont news, I am still upset that after Peter Shumlin beat Brian Dubie in the Vermont governor's election we didn't get a headline or TV promo stating "Shumlin smokes Dubie!"

I'll tell you all something else too, don't bring your dirty laundry up here. It makes people crazy.
