Monroe may toughen rules for some dog breeds 11/16/08

No biting, Barney; you don't know where that reporter's been


Posted at 12:01 am

The media as chew toy: Turns out that Barney, one of two Scottish terriers owned by President Bush, has bitten before. Prior to his biting a TV reporter for Reuters recently, a Boston Celtics public relations staffer also reports she got nipped.

Meanwhile, Monroe is considering a new law that would label certain breeds of dog as "dangerous" after only one bite.

Should Barney visit Monroe, city officials say they will take appropriate steps and will require all members of the media to wear protective gear.

"Schultz!" German military officials are concerned to learn that their 3,500 troops serving in Afghanistan are consuming, on average, 26 ounces of beer daily. And at the same time, 40 percent of German soldiers 18 to 29 are overweight.

Pssst, France; here's your chance to attack and finally ditch that "surrender monkey" label.

Finally, a correction: In Saturday's column, The Buzz misidentified a Naga from the online video game "World of Warcraft" as a Death Knight. The Buzz regrets the error. However, we don't regret that we have enough of a life that we didn't know the difference between the two.
