The star of âThe Andy Griffith Show,â who portrayed the sheriff of the fictional town of Mayberry, has sued a Wisconsin man who unsuccessfully ran for the Grant County post after legally changing his name to Andrew Jackson Griffith. Read about it here.

Too bad Barney is not still alive. He could go rough him up with his “bullet.” Or better yet, Gomer can make a “citizens arrest.”

What do you think?

I expected Andy to do what Andy has done before, step in and run for sheriff himself. Or at least be considered as a write-in candidate. Barney did that for him on a couple of occasions.

Personally, I think the real AG has got a case–the only reason the guy did it was to get elected. It didn’t work, but still you can’t just go around assuming peoples’ names just for the recognition factor.

Kevin,
I would like your endorsement. I am running for President in 2008 (even though I’m not old enough to) under my new name Ronald Ryan Reagan. I would appreciate your vote

I’m Ronald Ryan Reagan and I approved this message!

I’ll even endorse you on my blog!

I think I’ve got a new topic for “Mayberry 101″ during Thursday evening small group. Might be a bit hard to find video footage though…
