Moonshine Tour

That's right, Ken Revell has done it again! 
He has achieved the world record of giving the
most jugs of moonshine to Florida State
Election Officials in a three week period!

A record that has remained unchallenged since prohibition! 

In living color on the evening news, Ken delivered the inaugural jug of moonshine, along with a signed copy of his book, to Escambia County Supervisor of Elections, Bonnie Jones on Friday, October 18th, 2002.  The event was a great success and Ms. Jones graciously received the moonshine and book in the spirit of a true southern gentlewoman. 

While Ms. Jones attempted to explain that there was no moonshine actually in the jug, Mr. Revell responded, "Ms. Jones is correct, there is no moonshine presently in that jug . . . but only because Ms. Jones drank it all right before y'all got here." 

Ok, ok for the record, Ms. Jones did not drink any moonshine on that date (she is saving it all for after the election).  Ms. Jones gets the highest commendations for good sportsmanship, and, as Revell reported "she ain't no sissy cry-baby mama's girl, like Al Gore."

Wacky Florida Author and Conservative Cousin to Former President Jimmy Carter is Touring the State Giving Jugs of Moonshine to All Supervisors of Election

Santa Rosa Beach, Florida – October 17, 2002 – Southern author and humorist Ken Revell is touring his home state of Florida presenting the top election officials with a jug of moonshine prior to the election.  The unusual giftings are part of Revell’s “Florida Moonshine Tour” promoting his new book “Red Bugs, Moonshine and the Book of Leviticus:  Election 2000,  Florida Hasn’t Seen a Fight This Good Since Orlando Hosted the Southern Baptist Convention” which spoofs the year 2000 presidential election fiasco.

When asked why he decided on the unusual tour, Revell stated “If the last two elections are any indication of what’s ahead, I think they’re gonna need it.” 

Revell, who is a cousin to former President Jimmy Carter, says that he has requested that Carter come down to Florida to monitor the election, “I understand Cousin Jimmy has had some experience with this kind of thing before.”

Revell’s down to earth Southern style, which is described as “comical,” “straight-shooting,” and “outrageously politically incorrect,” has earned him a loyal following throughout the Southeast with many readers comparing him to Lewis Grizzard and Dave Barry.  Revell has book signing events planned in 26 cities throughout Florida which events are co-sponsored by Birmingham-based Books-A-Million, the nation’s third largest retailer of books.  

“Red Bugs” humorously chronicles the events of the year 2000 election fiasco with subchapters entitled “Geriatric Debating,” “Jeb and the He-Coon,” “Hillary May Not Bake Cookies, but she Belly Dances for Votes,” and “Just Who’s Ox is Being Gore-d Here?”  It also covers such other diverse topics of interest as:  the official position of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) on whether animals go to heaven; the two categories of churches (“sprinklers” and “dunkers”); and why you should never drink moonshine while slopping hogs.  

Revell will be presenting Orange County Supervisor of Elections, Bill Cowles, with the ceremonial moonshine jug and a copy of his book on Friday, October 25, 2002 at the Office of the Supervisor of Elections, 119 W. Kaley St., Orlando, FL 32856-2001.
