Gawd, that's about it, RL...the absurdity of some political crooks is hysterical...pathetic, especially if they get away with stuff, but still hysterical.
But as to the title and intent of this thread, it's equally hysterical...there are crooks on both sides of the aisle, and few seems to care enough to do anything about it, even enough to trip over doormats to try and catch them (which heaven knows the cops are good at)!

I love this Bell, California story. It reminds me of an old episode from The Andy Griffith Show where a gang of crooks from Mount Pilot tried to use Mayberry as their new base of operations. Fortunately, town drunk Otis overheard one of them on the phone and he notified Deputy Fife. Barney then went after them with his one bullet loaded revolver, but he tripped over the doormat and got captured by the bad guys. Later, Sheriff Andy, along with some North Carolina State Troopers were able to round 'em all up and toss them in the Mayberry Jail. Aunt Bea made a cherry pie that night to celebrate their safe return and heroics.
I love the Any Griffith Show. I can't decide who I admire more: Ernest T, Barney, or Otis.
Probably Barney and his single bullet (which, you know, suggests suicide).

Sorry, but I don't believe it had anything to do with suicide, because he usually kept the chamber empty. He would, however, with a fairly steady hand, load that one bullet into the gun if there was danger afoot.
Just the fact that you mentioned that you love the show moves you up one notch in terms of being a human being that I can relate to, one who possibly, or even secretly longs for those simpler, more innocent times.

I am not a human being; I am an abstraction and an account.
In terms of canon, Barney only has a single bullet because that is all Andy will trust him with. But sometimes I like to think of Barney as a tortured soul, who carries a single bullet because that it all he will need to end his suffering.
I would gladly live in Mayberry.

Your alien brain sees things in a very dark manner. Barney had a lot going on for himself. For starters, a pretty, sweet, and smart girlfriend who loved him, lots of great friends, a steady job, time off to go fishing, to play checkers, to go on picnics, and lots of other fun things. Plus, always a few bucks tucked away to maintain his single guy w/ steady girlfriend lifestyle. If he was indeed tortured in his soul as you keep saying, then perhaps there's new found hope for all of us in these tough times. We'll find strength, when needed most, from his courageous struggle, his brave face will help guide us in dealing with our own inner demons.

I only think of Barney as a tortured soul because it amuses me to do so, not because the show portrays him as a brooding Byronic hero. The Andy Griffith Show is absolutely not tortured. There is nothing dark about it. That's part of the shows appeal. But it may be time for a newer, edgier take on an American Classic.
