If you need a break from the "real news:"

The Washington Post's Justin Jouvenal is "live-tweeting" from the so-called #no2trial today in Fairfax, Va.

In case you missed his story this morning, it seems that one neighbor is suing another (and a dog walker) for the alleged deposits left on the grass in their development by a "fluffy 19-pound Westie-bichon frise mix" named Baxter.

We're sure Justin will get to the bottom of the case. Among his early tweets:

"In case you were wondering, Baxter the dog is not in the courtroom #no2trial."
