Designated driver

Charlie Sheen, whose road show is scheduled to careen into Everett on May 3, got a police escort to his performance in Washington, D.C., last week. Finger-pointing and recriminations have ensued.

So what’s the problem here? The police escort surely kept the altered state-craving Sheen from doing the driving himself. That’s what The Buzz calls “To Protect and Serve.”

Death looming for Thunder fans: If a health and medical information website’s rankings are to be believed, Seattle is one of the nation’s best metropolitan areas for staying young, while Oklahoma City is a place where people grow old fast.

Excellent, Sonics fans. The curse is working.

Just a good ol’ boy: Haley Barbour, governor of Mississippi and possessor of a thick southern drawl, has decided against seeking the Republican presidential nomination.

And while Barbour’s presidential dreams are dead, he’s reportedly the front-runner for Hazzard County commissioner.
