      The Simple Life in Jail: Bad Food, Fan Mail

      (Newser) - Still convinced she got a "raw deal," an almost Zen-like Paris Hilton spilled the beans yesterday about her 23-day stretch in stir, where the food "wasn't that tasty" and being strip-searched was the most humiliating experience of her life. Also especially tough: not being able to hug her dad on Father's Day, the heiress told Larry King. More »

      Bring Justice to Libby: Fine Him

      (Newser) - Former federal prosecutor and Bush 41 lawyer William Otis suggests a third way on Scooter Libby—between pardon and prison .

The court's $250K fine will send the message by itself. More »
