Crisler can suck it.

Thanks.

I think Crisler would have benefited by showing voters more of the humility in this video than the scripted pomposity he's shown on the trail. Somehow he's been duped by his handlers that bravado and bullshit sells.

Though Ward 1, Belhaven and Fondren sure did suck it up.

From a frustrated old geezer Republican....I honestly considered staying home but just don't do that. It looks like I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Crisler. Can't stomach Harvey.

From a frustrated young(?) Republican, I can't stomach EITHER. Just didn't appreciate the BS Crisler dropped in my ward 1 mailbox.

By the way, its a really great house y'all! Please buy it so I can move to Madison... takers??

This is only remotely appropo of this thread but is driving me crazy: what was the name of the firm Harvey spent millions with for studies (and boy that was money well spent)?

Yeah, the Harvey that used to run Jackson is a shell of the Harvey today. They even got Horhn today claiming that Crisler is the one who tried to buy his endorsement. I'll let you figure out what media source is peddling that trash.

No really don't guess too hard!

Yeah, I think the bugle is tooting their tin horn on other blogs (since apparently no one reads their blog).

Since we're talking about Marshand Crisler, let me first say I live in Ward 6 and believe it or not, a lot of law abiding, hard working people do.

First of all, if you lived there, you'd know that Marshand Crisler has done NOTHING for the ward in 8 years. He's doing well if he knows where it is.

Second, if McMillan wants to be Mayor then he needs to move back to Jackson from Clinton and run. I don't need him as a "quasi" Mayor using Crisler as the front man.

Third, Marshand Crisler obviously didn't like the title of representative for Ward 6. He repaid the voters who gave him that title by doing NOTHING. Maybe if you give him a bigger title - Mayor, then he'll do something. I wouldn't count on it though; but at least Ward 6 is rid of him and trust me, we are all very glad of that.

Had to know it was only a matter of time before the contagion theorists would crawl out from underneath their rocks. Did you tie McMillin's shoes for him this morning or merely wipe his ass?

I'm just enjoying watching the free press twirl. You know the paper that demanded we talk about "issues" this election so the people would be educated this time. I bet if KF did a study on the JFP's reproting this year, they would find very little was written over there about the issues facing the city.

What issues did you want to see discussed that haven't been?

@3:36:

I am not sure about the "contagion theory"; but I do have eyes. I have lived here for 27 years. I have lived in bigger cities (Denver) for several years. What I know is that moving out of a city and destroying its tax base does not create a solution for the city.

The area north of County Line Road is a perfect example. People left the city to go to the burbs, the burbs made ridiculous deals to draw out business and didn't get tax dollars for two decades. Now, when they finally stand to get those dollars, the population is moving further north because they perceive that area to be "declining".

It is fairly simple. The metro population hasn't grown substantially overall in twenty years; but the white population continues to funnel out of the areas that they think are "declining" (read: blacks moving in).

Put a stop to the moving! Get to know your neighbors! Get involved in your community and don't let crime get out of hand by being vigilant!

When you leave, you hurt the whole metro area.

My zip, by the way, is 39202. Go ahead and bang away. Let me do it for you: Belhaven liberal! Crunchy moron! Got it.

I would rather stay and support the many local businesses cropping up in Fondren, Belhaven, South State Street, etc., and be proud that this place has many "green shoots".

You can bash, but it won't help anything. Instead, make a call to your neighborhood association and see what you can do to make things better.

Don't me wrong, I'm all 'projack' and everything (jesus did I just write that), I love NE Jackson, we're JA'ers, active where we live, yada yada.. its just a matter of safety sometimes. So yeah, when I can.. I'm headed North.

In the mean time, I'm packin a glock.

(sorry KF that we got off of mayor and got on geography and, "contagion theories"? not even gonna lie, had to look that one up)

I hope Jackson withers and dies like all the other cities that whites flee from only to have them return and buy the exact same property for pennies on the dollar, evict all the crackheads and build luxurious high rise loft apartment buildings and retail stores that the scum may never penetrate again.

Hold on Pearl and Clinton--it's coming your way.

Gosh. Now it looks like Weill is caught up in the Better Jackson PAC fiasco. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

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.
