Judge drops charge against Bryant.

What a colossal waste of everyone's time, money and energy. And okay, what the hell is this supposed to mean:

"Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did."

Wha? The only thing I can figure is he likes it rough and she doesn't?

Anyway, at least we'll have a break from the incessant coverage for a while, until the civil trial starts up. If it does, I should say - they may settle yet.
