An HP'er on the Immigration protest thread reminded us of a very important point:
"Jesus, Don Knotts died last week and you guys are talking about THIS garbage! "- HP'er Anon
Yes folks, there are things more important than the implosion of the housing bubble, the meltdown of the US financial system, and the corruption of our elected officials.
Don Knotts died.
A moment of silence for this TV and film pioneer. And this immortal Barney Fife gem - might be of use to Bob Toll one day:
"Boys, when that steel door slams shut, that's the end of the happy days. No more fishin', no more ball playin', no more peanut butter sandwiches" - B. Fife, as played by D. Knotts, circa 1960

When I watch reruns of mayberry I always wished I lived in that town.
People sitting on their front porch, no crime, taking it easy.
Awesome post, thanks.

Perhaps this HP'er is making this statement in reference to the unsubstantiated rumor that D-Not was one of the chief architects of the "New Economy".
Don Knotts got his start after crossing the rio grande as an illegal to gain entrance to EL Norte. If we eliminate illegal immigration, we might accidentally prevent the Don Knotts of the 21st century from becoming a US citizen.

I'd say the benefit outweighs the cost.

To Anon 7:00:45 PM,
So what is your point regarding "HP salutes Don Knotts: 1924 - 2006"?
Happy afterlife to you Don Notts. The creamiest of the cream of the crop.
Great guy, I miss him.
Glad we didn't deport him. that would have been a shame.
Don Knott's was his stage name. His real name was 'El Don' Notonio Castillo de Ortega. He was born in a small Mexican village San Agustin Oapan. He was kindnapped at the age of 3 and ended up in a slum of Tijuana where he sold chiclets for food. 23 years wasted away and a Hollywood casting agent on vacation discovered young 'Don' while exiting a donkey show. He was mesmorized by the young man's chiselled leading man features. The rest is history.
