Would it be diffcult to game news aggregation giant Digg's simple up-vote/down-vote system for selecting links for its heavily-trafficked front page? Not really: The right-wing group "Digg Patriots" appears to have engaged in a multiyear effort to "bury" left-leaning sites.

A Staten Island man was arrested this week for hurling a bag of feces (his own, presumably) at the door of his neighbor, with whom he didn't get along. So unoriginal! Neighborly revenge deserves better.

After some snoozy confirmation hearings in which she didn't say anything, Elena Kagan has earned herself a seat on the nation's highest court, the Supreme Court! The final Senate vote was 63-37. Congratulations to Elena Kagan!

So Michelle Obama took a fancy trip to Spain with her daughter and friends. Is she history's greatest monster for this extravagance? Irate Daily News columnist Andrea Tantaros sure thinks so! Why can't Michelle Obama travel like an "average" person?

What's the controversial new government spending measure today? According to Sens. John McCain and Tom Coburn, it's that the Obama administration is using tax dollars to give monkeys cocaine. Wacky! But perhaps this is a skewed take, one needing context?

The ruling is in on California's huge trial against Prop 8, the referendum that passed last year banning same sex marriage. The judge has ruled the ban... unconstitutional!

Caroline Giuliani, the Obama-supporting thespian daughter of Rudy—and a senior at Harvard—has been arrested for shoplifting from a skincare and beauty store on the Upper East Side. But why would a rich kid like Caroline steal?

That horrible Michaele Salahi woman says she plans to auction off the dress she wore to crash a White House state dinner and donate the proceeds to charity. Of course the sale coincides with her reality television debut.

Rep. Anthony Weiner and Sen. Chuck Schumer are two of New York's loudest Democratic politicians. They love to opine on everything! Except, strangely, on the issue of the Ground Zero Mosque. Why such deafening silence from these two flappy-mouths?

Your personal data is making Facebook insanely rich, and the social network would like you to know that: Facebook executives just told Bloomberg the company's advertising sales are exploding and that they plan to go on a big buying spree.

For 12 years, Henrietta Leung drew a $200,000 annual salary at HSBC and Credit Suisse. Laid off during the recession, she's currently exploring a new career path: exposing herself in softly lit photographs. She enjoys it greatly.

Have you heard of Tom Emmer, the far-right Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota? He wants to amend the state constitution to block federal laws. He's also anti-gay marriage. Oh, and he enjoys the monetary support of Target.

This is a campaign video for New York gubernatorial candidate Kristin Davis. Not the Sex and the City actress—the madam who provided former Governor Eliot Spitzer with call girls and was sent to Rikers for four months.

Slate wrote a special computer program to monitor Sarah Palin's Facebook wall, and deletions by the critter-shootin' Republican reveal her unwritten rules of engagement: Do not make Palin look unpopular, racist, insane or in any way wrong, on her Facebook.

People who tried to buy Twitter followers apparently had their accounts compromised in the process. So tweeters trying to fool the world were, themselves, made into fools. That's sweet, sweet social networking justice, right there.

St. Vincent's Hospital in Greenwich Village officially shut down last April. They even boarded up the ER. Yet a tipster took this photo of the St. Vincent's windows just a week ago. Scooby-Doo: where are you?

In "this economy," we don't have many exports except, apparently, for serial killers. American fugitives William Dathan Holbert and Laura Michelle Reese were arrested in Costa Rica as suspects in as many as nine murders in Panama.

If you're like me, you may have just *assumed* that if a chemical is being manufactured in large quantities and placed in your breakfast cereal, there would be *some* evidence that it will not kill you. Not true at all!

After thirteen days of incarceration, Lindsay Lohan has been released. Justin Bieber is writing an "illustrated memoir." T.I. tied the knot, and so did James Van Der Beek. Monday gossip is free at last.

Your money: Maybe not as safe as you think. Security expert Barnaby Jack showed off three different ways to hack an ATM last week, including one particularly flashy method that left the machine playing music and spitting out twenties.
