    Barney Reloaded

    I just made a wonderful discovery: a series of movies made by The White House from the perspective of Barney, one of Mr. President's Scottish Terriers. Briefly obsessed, I made it through the entire series.

    My favorite by far is Barney Reloaded. In this caper, Barney is charged with a job to do, and oh, boy, does he do it! You would not believe the hi jinks our favorite canine pulls, but in the end, he is the boss!!

    The only way to access these excellent films is through the kids' section of whitehouse.gov, which unfortunately has caused the entire oeuvre to exist in relative obscurity. In an effort to allow these movies to reach a broader audience, here is the link:

    These movies are also the closest we may get to a reality show about life in The White House (unless, perhaps, finger-on-the-pulse Obama and the soon-to-be First Mom would like to change that, please), so for that reason alone, they are culturally relevant and required watching.
