Libby sentenced to 30 months in prison
Lewis Libby sentenced to 30 months in jail, $250,000 fine
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was sentenced Tuesday to 30 months in prison for lying to investigators looking into the leak of a CIA operative's identity.
He also was fined $250,000. Libby was convicted March 6 of four counts in a five-count indictment alleging perjury, obstruction of justice and making false statements to FBI investigators.
He plans to appeal the verdict. (Watch what led up to Libby's sentence Video)
Cheney released a statement after the verdict saying he is "deeply saddened" by his former aide and friend's conviction and he hopes that his appeal will "return a final result consistent with what we know of this fine man."
As Cheney spoke a teardrop froze to ice almost as quickly as it was created when it touched his heartless metal robot face.
Libby has served "tirelessly and with great distinction" in the State and Defense departments and in the White House, Cheney said.
“By great distinction, I mean secretly fucking the American people over time and time again.
Cheney then blasted a group of the Associated Press with his laser arm, and smashed through a wall for effect.

BAUTZEN, Germany - Three German teenagers have been
spared paying hefty damages after a court ruled it
could not prove an ostrich farmer's claim that their
festive firecrackers made one of his birds impotent.
Immediately following his ruling, the judge took one
of the boys aside and asked, "So, what, did you stick
'em up it's pee-hole?"

“World Cruise Control”,
Katie Holmes Reveling in Motherhood
Friday June 1 7:16 PM ET
Being the mother of Tom Cruise's baby daughter has been so much fun that Katie Holmes tells "Entertainment Tonight" she's ready to have more children.
"We're having the best time, it's so amazing," Holmes, 28, said of the year she and Cruise have spent largely out of the spotlight. She gave birth to the couple's first child, Suri, in April 2006.
"Yes, definitely," she told the TV program when asked about the possibility of more kids. “Why more children? We’re preparing the world for domination. World Cruise Control is upon you. You’ve been warned.” The interview airs Monday.
Cruise and his ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, have a 12-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter, and Holmes said the role of stepmother/Queen-to-be is one she relishes.
"The kids are so sweet, they respond greatly to my role as future queen of the World Cruise Control movement. They’ve even given me a nickname, Queen Ki-Ki (pronounced Kee-kee she explains). I’ve accepted this name as you and all others soon will." she said. "We have so many kids in our house, creating an army of soldiers was practically a no-brainer."
The actress recently returned to work filming the movie "Mad Money" with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. However, we have been informed that Queen Latifah is no longer a part of the production. When asked why, an anonymous source close to the production informed us, “Katie insisted that there shall be only one Queen on this set. I think that b***** is crazy”.

Man Eats Dog to Protest Royal Family
LONDON (June 1) - A British performance artist has eaten part of a corgi -
the breed of dog that is the favorite pet of Queen Elizabeth II - to protest
the alleged mistreatment of animals by the royal family.
Mark McGowan set up a table on a London street Tuesday and dined on what he
said was the meat from a corgi in hopes of drawing attention to media
reports that Prince Philip, the queen's husband, had beaten a fox to death
during a hunt.
"We love our animals in Britain," McGowan told AP Television News. "Why is
it then that we then allow people - especially people who are supposed to be
ambassadors for this country - to treat animals with such disrespect…”
McGowan’s last words were inaudible after he was eaten by Queen Elizabeth II
in what appeared to be a protest against ridiculous protests.
“No,” The Queen Mother giggled with a piece of McGowan dangling from her
lips. “I skipped my afternoon tea and am quite famished.”

Phantom Paddleboat Menaces Rec Center
April 9, 2007
GRUBER, Mich. -- Sightings of a ghostly paddle boat threaten to close the Whiskey Lake Recreation Center before the summer season begins.
"I saw a strange red glow on the water, the color of a sunburned kid," said Gavin Mott, the park's director. "There was a strong smell of tanning oil in the air, and the lake churned under invisible pedals."
"For a moment, I could make out a teenaged boy and girl paddling past the dock. But they vanished as quickly as they'd appeared, and the lake was calm again."
Something tells me it’s not called Whiskey Lake (gluggity glug glug) for nothing. Maybe it should be called Bullshit Story Lake.
In a related incident of non-threatening spectors, a ghost hang-glider had been reported dropping ghost daisies on passers-by at a Dairy Queen in Omaha, Nebraska, and a ghost unicorn shot ghost rainbows out of it’s ghost ass, in my mind just now, did you see it?
In another related story Banana Boat slated to jump on Ghost paddle boat money making machine with a new advertising campaign jingle, “Get on the Boat Yeah!, Banana Ghost Paddle Boat Yeah!”

Researchers find 2,100 year-old melon
TOKYO - Archaeologists digging in western Japan have excavated what they believe to be the oldest remains of a melon ever found.
Based on a radiocarbon analysis, researchers estimate the piece of fruit to be about 2,100 years old, said Shuji Yamazaki, a local official in the city of Moriyama.
After realizing that carbon dating a 2,000-year-old fruit would be the height of their pathetic existence, the researchers promptly committed group suicide by jumping into the rotating blade of an Apache Helicopter.
How the Japanese archaeologists got access to the United States Army’s principal attack helicopter is not yet known.
Crocodile escapes from Ukrainian circus
KIEV, Ukraine - An animal trainer who brought a crocodile to the beach to drum up interest in a circus got some unwelcome publicity when it broke free and made off into a crowd of beach-goers.
The 3.2-foot crocodile, named Godzi, was found by local blacksmith Mykola Ranga and promptly wedded.
“Damn! That’s the second escaped reptile that we’ve lost to marriage,” said a worker at the Azova Zoo. “The women here in the Ukraine sure are ugly.”
Troopers find ton of pot in candy load
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Two men hauling more than 40,000 pounds of Jawbreaker candies also had some not-so-sweet freight, the Minnesota State Patrol said: nearly 1 1/2 tons of marijuana.
Luis Rene Avila and Juan Carlos appeared in federal court Thursday on charges of intent to distribute marijuana.
A search using Jawbreaker-sniffing dogs turned up the load during a traffic stop Tuesday near St. Paul.
Kent Bailey, acting special agent in charge of the Minneapolis-St. Paul office of the Drug Enforcement Administration, said the marijuana would be sold to buy more candy and the candy would probably be sold to buy more drugs.
"I initially thought about how we could give the candy away to kids. But I’m real good at selling things," he said. "Especially candy and drugs.”
The bust marks the first time that the Minneapolis-St. Paul Jawbreaker K-9 Unit assisted in an arrest.
“It was good getting in some real world experience,” said Bosco, a long-haired German Shepard. “Training was tough because we kept detecting cocaine and explosives instead of Jawbreakers. I’m just glad that all our hard work finally paid off”
