Did he take his life for fear of prison?
Or was he afraid that obama was going to raise his taxes?

I saw the HBO program. Sad to see the man go that way, but better than rotting in prison.

I had some ‘white lightning’ in Knoxville, once.
Tastes like a toxic defoliant. Horrible stuff.

“Popcorn” sounds like he earned that nick by having an accident or 2 during his time making that corn liquor.
When pot is “legalized” we will see old hippie potheads being hauled off to jail in his place. I woder what their nicknames will be...Pothead? Dopehead? Hacking Hal?

You need to try some of the good stuff from Franklin County, Va.

bootlegging ways were as out of step with modern times.
Otherwords Government couldn’t fleece Popcorns pockets.

Homeboy needed to drive to a wet county to the package store.
George Washington went after whisky makers early in his administration (though he made his own whisky in Mt.Vernon and grew hemp too...go figure). So it is nothing new and its not like this is a new O’bambam socialist tax.

Honestly, of all the things to worry about right now. For real. While corporate thiefs were busy butt raping us taxpayers and getting off scot free, fed.gov felt the need to spend man hours busting this poor old man.

He looks sort of like George Clooney in the fake beard near the end of O Brother Where Art Thou.
