Former Cheney aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby was found guilty of obstruction of justice, perjury, and lying to the FBI. That’s the bad news. The good news is, the White House named him “Employee of the Month.”

A technology research firm has calculated the total amount of digital information generated last year: from emails to mp3s to digital video, we made 161 billion gigabytes of the stuff. To help you imagine how much information this is, think of 12 stacks of books reaching from the Earth to the sun. And on every third page, there’s a funny picture of a cat.

An Indiana man took his eight-year-old daughter up in a single-engine plane, then crashed it into his former mother-in-law’s house. Jeez, eight-year-olds can be so annoying. “I wanna go to Grandma’s house, I wanna go to Grandma’s house.”

A Pennsylvania mother has pled guilty to baby-swinging. For those of you who don’t know what “baby-swinging” is, it’s when a bunch of new parents have a party, and each couple leaves with a different baby than they came with.

Police say a Connecticut man stabbed his wife, then gave the knife to their two-year-old and told him: “Now you stab Mommy.” Then the man said, “No, not the cat, Mommy…Watch the sofa!…Don’t put that it in your mouth…Oh, give me that. Listen, kid: you better shape up or I’ll fly you over to Grandma’s.”
