Greetings from the Volunteer State

OK, so we’ve ripped on Tennessee in the past on this Web Log. We apologize:

McMinn County deputies found the 31-year-old Decatur man sleeping on his back in a roadside ditch, with a loaded rifle on his chest and an almost empty jar of moonshine in the bib of his overalls. Butler told deputies who woke him up Sunday that he didn’t know where he was. He also told them the jar had been full. Deputies said Butler also had a machete and hand-rolled cigarettes believed to be marijuana.
