Jackson Jambalaya

I have to say it is one thing for a journalist to endorse a candidate; it is another for the same journalist to begin attacking Crisler personally. That shows that she is not content on letting her readers decide who is the best candidate. She cannot just endorse without tearing down the other candidate.

It think a good question to bring up is how can she now moderate the upcoming debate? She has stated she personally doesn't think Crisler is ready to be mayor among other moans and groans about Crisler. I think in fairness she and the JFP should step back from the debate at JSU. I noticed it said to email the questions from the public to the jfp. If I was Crisler that would give me pause. If I was Johnson I wouldn't want it to look like I have a home team moderator. But, will she do the right thing? Based on past actions...hell.no. Also, considering her complaints about race, by her moderating that means it will be two whites and one black on the panel. That.ain't.right.

He.Is.An.Empty.Suit.

Agreed but you can hardly be surprised. Crisler should go on the offense and demand a different moderator.

She is over there now talking about what happened the first time Harvey was elected. How would she know when she didn't even live here.

That is a great point. She should not be able to moderate this debate.

Now would be the time for a new alternative in Jackson.

When I recently read Ladd extolling the virtues of Chokwe Lumumba, I knew she was out of it.
She said she didn't really know much about his politics, but that she had gone to the same church with him for a few years and he seemed like great, but combative, person and would be good up against Kenneth Stokes. That's all the Council needs--another nut!
I read that Chokwe changed his Christian name to the current name many years ago because he had become a muslim.
I've not heard of muslims attending church. They attend mosques.

He and Stokes will EAT CRISLER THE MARINE/ARMY/AIR FORCE WHATEVER THIS NEXT WEEK ALIVE if MC is elected. Stokes and Chokwe will combine forces like nobody's business.

Donna and Crisler hate aside, I think for the sake of the debate she should not participate, the jfp shouldn't select the questions, and a new moderator needs to be there. If she hadn't "personally" made so many negative comments about him then it would be a non-issue. But, she isn't happy just endorsing a candidate. She has to uses her bully-pulpit to discredit the opponent. However, I found it quite funny (and distressing) that she claims she hasn't even seen any of his ads. Engaged in this race...I.Think.Not.

Now some words from Jackson's resident super control freak and DJP bailout recipient Donna Ladd.

And after this election, we really do need to convene some public conversations about how to stop spreading trash, demand attribute and help our public ask the right questions -- a different kind of Truth Commission, you could call it.

Yeah, I saw that. I laughed as JJ is its own Truth Commission. She doesn't like it because finally her work is held up to scrutiny.

This is just another method she wants to use as she is a control freak. There was an ACLU conference a few years ago and the journalists there told me how when she addressed the conference, she tried to get everyone to use her as their exclusive outlet for their tips etc and was pretty heavy handed about it. The truth is, she is a control freak and her whining about the local online community is her bitching because she no longer has a monopoly like she did a few years ago. too bad the CL is too archaic and slow to figure it out as they have the natural audience.

Same droppings that the always angry Ben Allen can't help but cock-a-doodle-doo about in interviews and speaking engagements. Shoot all the messengers, even the Clarion-Ledger, except the boomJackson crowd. You'd think that they would have figured it out after all these years that few besides their Jonestowners are going to follow, let alone listen, them.

I meant a few months ago.
