I crown thee, Sir Loin of Beef




Great Britain is looking to relax its rules for royals and may allow those in the monarchy to marry Roman Catholics, reversing an act from 1700 that barred Catholics from marrying into the monarchy or succeeding to the throne.

Fine. Sounds like a silly rule to us. But we're against any rule change that would allow the Burger King to join the Royal Family. Dude creeps us out.

Twit Nation: Shocking, we know, but it turns out that many of the Twitter feeds for celebrities including Christopher Walken and Tina Fey may not be the actual tweets of the stars. (If none of that makes sense to you, you're not alone, but you might as well move along; it'd take too long to explain.)

Fans of the Walken feed began to suspect something was up when recent tweets kept repeating the same words: "More cowbell. More cowbell. More cowbell."

Keep it short: Looking to save money, Sam Reed, Washington's secretary of state has proposed limiting statements in the voter pamphlets to 500 words. Herald columnist Jerry Cornfield isn't sure the public will be served by such brevity. Sometimes keeping the public informed requires more than 500 words.

The Buzz has to disagree. We've only needed about 200 words a day to keep the public misinformed.
