And subby may learn the correct spelling of sheriff.

TripSixes: And subby may learn the correct spelling of sheriff.

Meh, worked for me.

Was it Omar Sherrif?

Maybe this headline is better when you're drunk.

The article is about the sheriff's dog...

feckingmorons: Was it Omar Sherrif?

No, it was Homer Sharif.

Already farked, it seems.

WTF?

"Journalists page Darren White in middle of the night causing his dog to have seizures.

Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White's cell phone and pager were beeping and ringing non-stop Christmas week, but people weren't calling to wish him well. Instead, reporters were calling to ask for information on the latest wreck or shooting.

White had given his public information staff the week of Christmas off and agreed to take all media calls. Apparently, he didn't realize what that entailed. White got so many calls that at one point, he joked at a recent meeting with the Journal that he contemplated jumping off a bridge. During the meeting, his phone rang about 15 times. Journalists, mostly from the broadcast media, were calling about mundane events, he said. Reporters wanted information about a crash on the interstate a shooting that wasn't life threating. Some television stations called as many as five times with the same question, he said.

The most outrageous call occurred about 3 a.m. two days before Christmas. The pager went off in White's bedroom. It was so loud that one of White's two dogs, Lilly, jumped up and started having seizures. White, who is pictured here with his other dog, Trixie, was able to calm the 8-year-old mutt down with a little cuddling and some medicine. White said his dog has anxiety problems and frequently has seizures when it thunders. About a half hour after, Lilly calmed down, and he answered the page. Someone from one of the news stations wanted to know if anything was going on because they heard someone say 10-7 on the police scanner, which is the code for dead. White politely explained the code is used by officers to describe a host of things, such as "my radio is dead" or "my car is dead."

When White woke up the next morning, he was thankful Lilly wasn't 10-7."

Ah crap, sorry - tried the "printer friendly version" to have an easier time with the copy/paste job, but that's formatted even worse than the regular site.

The culprits are listed on the right. [of the page]

- [when it isn't farked].

Punks.

"White had given his public information staff"

So this is "all his employees" subby?

What a dickhead, does he enjoy giving his dog seizures? Why not turn his pager down, or does the evil media control the volume?
This article was crap, the media kept calling because its their job to find news, sorry to bother you Andy.

I was almost expecting this to be my home county based on the subby's description. I was on vacation adn just got back recently. It wouldn't surprise me at all if our local sheriff gave his staff the entire week off and shut off his own pager and county issued cell phone for the week. It also wouldn't surprise me if there was a crime spree during the same time and the local police chief for the town I live in paid off the local media to not report anything bad about the local county sheriff. The local county sheriff does the police chief's bidding you see.

Radioing in that your radio is 10-7, while your radio doesn't work????

/radio

that's a lot of stupid for one article

Headline is full of fail

1.) Sherrif
2.) only his public information staff was given holiday
3.) for the entire week, not just Christmas day
4.) hilarity ensues = his dog had seizures?

Maybe he should take work off too, since nothing was happening or only use his 10-7 radio.

What really stuns me is that a reporter actually took the time to write that up. And people wonder why the newspaper industry is dying and media in general is a joke.

/At least it wasn't on CNN, though it probably will be in the morning.
//Journalist.
///Slashies.

Poor puppy :(

Kudos to the Sheriff for not only giving his employees the time off, but taking on such a big workload in order to do it. I'll bet he won't do THAT again, but I wouldn't blame him, either.

Who the fark has a pager anymore?

Icy: The article is about the sheriff's dog...

He said the sheriff's dog is near!

The actual headline, "TV Journalists Nearly Kill Sheriff's Dog" is far, far, far superior.

/Far.

SoxSweepAgain: The actual headline, "TV Journalists Nearly Kill Sheriff's Dog" is far, far, far superior.

/Far.

Agreed.

Were they rocking the casbah?

I heard he didn't like it.

I saw a puppy pic.

I leave happy.

/I love dogs

Omar Shariff , your dog wants to play bridge.
Ya I got nuttin.

U.Betcher Associates: SoxSweepAgain: The actual headline, "TV Journalists Nearly Kill Sheriff's Dog" is far, far, far superior.

/Far.

Agreed.

Seconded.

This has to be the first positive article of Darren White I have ever read in his entire career. In Bernalillo county most media smear him with just about anything.

Damn Libs, always farking something up.

What a waste of my time...

1. Become Sheriff of most populated county in state.
2. Give public relations staff week off during holidays.
3. Express amazement that media outlets have many questions during that week.
4.Profit?
