95% of the public comments submitted to the EPA approved of Ted Henifin taking over Jackson's sewer system. That's right. 633 out of 666 (how appropriate) public comments said Henifin is doing a helluva job. So much for Sista Rukia claiming she represents the people. Hmm.... isn't that what elected representatives do? Well, since the Lumumbas like to play games, we are going to play a game today, we are going to play one here today.
Henifin Takes Over Jackson's Sewer System
Ted Henifin is now the water and sewer Tsar of Jackson. U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate approved a stipulated order that places the management of Jackson's sewer system under Ted Henifin. Mr. Henifin is the manager of JXN Water. The Justice Department, EPA, and city of Jackson agreed to the stipulated order. Public interest in the matter was strong as the EPA received 666 public comments on the proposed stipulated order. The noise made by the Order of the Sisters of Rukia was just that, a bunch of noise as 95% of the comments approved of Mr. Henifin's management.

D.L. Gardner: Congress Plays Crisis Games Again
It’s that time of year again when the weather is cooler, summer passes the torch to autumn, football fans become … fanatics, and the federal government shuts down again. As a relatively new federal employee in the 1980s, I remember shutdowns. What did that mean? Terminology from the government said, “close down non-essential operations, furlough non-essential workers, and only retain essential employees in departments covering the safety of human life or protection of property.”

As I thought about what recipe I might share to somehow unite us (that elusive "all of humanity" moment I will never come close to achieving), it came to mind that many (certainly not all) of us have had a night when we would have given just about anything for a hunk of some sort of dense, nutty, chocolate, not allowed on any diet, treat to scarf down while we are watching Field of Dreams, or Casablanca, Shawshank, or maybe Dumbo for the eighth time? It is hard to believe that is one sentence, isn't it? All I can say about that is me too.
Will Bonds Break Hertz?
Will bondholders put Hertz Investment Group out of business? The company owns prominent office buildings in downtown Jackson such as One Jackson Place and the Regions Plaza. However, the company bet bad on bonds and might have to pay the bill when it has no money to pay such bills.

Trollfest '09
Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).
Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.
Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".
In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.
In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.
Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.
Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!
This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
