by The comment of the day comes from David Codrea. He, too, took note of the esteemed Marion Hammer’s comments regarding NRA members that I highlighted yesterday.
So they should have pushed ‘shine Club instead of Wine Club? But keep sending money because we know how to be sophisticated with it!
Think of the NRA ‘shine Club. They could have offered sampler packs of ‘shine from renowned moonshiners like Popcorn Sutton, Tim Smith, and Junior Johnson. At least two of those three actually make or made legal ‘shine.
I tend to agree with the rest of David’s post where he speculates that the recording could only have come from an insider and that Wayne and Company are fully aware of who it is. Read the rest of his post and watch the video. It is worth it.
If it’s legal, it’s not moonshine. It’s just hooch or white dog at that point, if you’ve paid your taxes and are selling it legally. 😉
Ol Popcorn didn’t hold with paying a tax to sell his goods. If his still hadn’t blowed up, he’d likely have not gotten caught the last time. And contrary to how he dressed, Popcorn made a lot of money in the moonshine business.
