That missing album

Man, the stuff you lose when you move. Honey, did you file "Birds of Terror" under "McLaughlin" or "Mahavishnu"?

Really, though, enjoy Friday afternoon's No. 3 most-super-important tale at the Fair 'n' Balanced Network:

A Jordanian border official said at a news conference Wednesday that Islamic State militants are using homing pigeons to deliver messages to operatives outside its so-called caliphate.

Stop press!

Brig. Gen. Saber al-Mahayreh said Jordanian troops captured one of the pigeons sent by ISIS fightes in Iraq to a person in Jordan with a letter addressed to him. Al-Mahayreh said militants are using outdated ways to get its messages out, aside from using social media.

“The jihadists tied a letter with a phone number to the foot of the bird, which was flying to a Jordanian resident,” he said.

In its rush to keep the fear burner at a low boil, Fox manages to leave out the one mildly interesting part of the original Torygraph tale (red underscore in the original):


... without some hint of which, ISIS appears to have a bad case of "my uncle took a message and he wrote it on the wall."

And now, in so many more ways than one, your moment of zen. Turn it up.
