No action for Jackson from Fenator Horhn

Fo much for that talking point. One of Fenator and current Jackfon Mayoral candidate John Horhn'f claimf if he can get thingf done for Jackfon in the legiflature. I'm ftill waiting to fee where thif legiflative proweff he bragf about if becaufe it fure hafn't been on difplay helping Jackfon lately. He couldn't even get hif bill to allow Jackfon refidents to vote on raifing their own falef tax out of committee:

"A bill that would allow Jackson residents to consider raising sales taxes has stalled at the state Capitol.
House Bill 1622 failed to gain enough support in the Senate Finance Committee today. Supporters said they will reintroduce the measure in another committee to try to keep it alive as the 2009 regular legislative session continues.

The bill would have allowed the city of Jackson to add a one percent sales tax on all items except hotels, restaurants, groceries, prescription drugs and purchases of large equipment such as vehicles and farm equipment." Clarion-Ledger story , Bill status on legislature's website

fo we are fuppofed to believe thif mover and fhaker of the legiflature who can't get a bill that would help hif campaign gain more credibility out of committee can fomehow get more for Jackson out of the legiflature when he if NOT a member of it?

But hey, forget Lake Hico and the fales tax. He goef to the right partief and fitf on a few boardf.

It is Coming BEWARE! (Commuter TAX)

Does he have an egg sucking dog? (I would have put the f in appropriate places but it would be obscene).

You people disappoint me.

Horhn must be hurting for turnout on his listening tour and from the looks of the videos on his website you can see why. To generate more attendance he's decided to trot out newly cut Deuce McAlister for his next tour stop tomorrow. Deuce will also be available for autographs. Maybe they should give away a car? That might get people excited about Horhn's languishing campaign.

Maybe Horhn can actualy get a bill out of committee declaring it Deuce Day in Jackson. Yeah, it does seem those that are clinging on to him are charmed by the fact he is on the Board of Rainbow and thus a progressive. LOL! Their fresh food section is smaller than my viking range! Also, I find it hard to believe that Ben Allen and family would support a democrat who votes against cleaning up voter roles. It shows that their hatered for a particular person out weights common sense.

I haven't decided on who I'm voting for; but, it won't be Horhn or either Johnsons.

Talk about coincidence. Reading this after getting an automated recorded call around 4:30 PM today from John Horhn with an invitation to meet Deuce tomorrow before the Jackson Speaks gabfest that follows. He must be the candidate for the downtown society of self-lovers.

Just go watch his "Jackson Speask" on youtube. Who taught his people how to spell? Bourbon and blogging don't mix!

Got same call about 4:15. Maybe McAllister should run for mayor if he is going to be the draw.

Who are you for? It ain't Hohrn, and it ain't Crisler! Is it Harvey? Eddie? Robert Johnson? You criticize these people and offer no direction. Hail Chief Hendrix! Who should I follow and why?

JackCUDA said...

Love your blog Kingfish but it sure does bring out the idiots like the one immediately above.

What I wanna know is when the hell did you get that new title of Chief? DAMN, now everyone has some big important sounding title.

Did you see all the titles for those Jackson Progressive bigwigs? Man, that is some serious firepower. Forces to be reckoned with.

Hail Chief Hendrix! Hail no direction! Hail blind allegiance! Hail the Jackson Progressives Peoples Party our watchdogs for all of Jackson!

Nothing like sad, lonely, friendless anger to bring out the best in people.

Who is at home at 4:15 - 4:30 to get a campaign call.

Good question for John Horhn.

Anonymous said...

JFP: You say you’d be a good lobbyist, but one of your opponents, Sen. John Horhn, would say he’s a good lobbyist, too, because the state Legislature is where he comes from.

Crisler: I stand firmly on my record as a city councilman, and I encourage anybody else to stand firmly on their record. I don’t want to get into a conversation about what the senator can do versus what I can do, but I have to say this: The senator’s been there for 16 years. He’s been there 16 years. Did I mention that we still haven’t gotten any payments in lieu of taxes for untaxed property from the state in all that time?

What the hell? Horhn doesn't even talk like that.

Kingfish said...

I can't even run my own place as Louis XIV has taken over, much less run a city.

Who do you support, KF, except this eternal Susan/Joseph negative diatribe. Who do you SUPPORT?

JackCuda: Did you see all the titles for those Jackson Progressive bigwigs?

KAMIKAZE AKA MR. FRANKLIN
DIRECTOR OF ENTERTAINMENT/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
WATKINS DEVELOPMENT/FARISH ST. GROUP LLC
CEO, OURGLASS ENTERTAINMENT & MANAGEMENT
CHAIRMAN, JACKSON PROGRESSIVES
SOUTHERN REGIONAL DIRECTOR, HIP HOP CONGRESS
PRESIDENT, MS ARTISTS & PRODUCERS COALITION

Lots of titles but like Ladd he can't move the needle on voting day.

Do you even know who he supports?

Senator Horhn is the person who has touted his ability to get stuff done in the Legislature. Don't blame Kingfish for pointing out that the lack of results don't match John's words. When you attack the messenger you confirm the contradiction. Councilman Crisler gets it.

Anonymous said...

But that's NOT EVEN HOW HE TALKS. Are you all about racial slurs now?

Kingfish said...

What are you talking about?

Anonymous said...

There goes the Horhn crowd. Their candidate can't put the proof into the pudding so they allude that KF is a racist. Typical gutter politics.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

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.
