If this is a paid advertisement as stated, then was the Tate Reeves video similarly paid for yet, somehow, not annotated as such?

Nice question. Here is a nice, non-jackassery answer. Mr. Whitwell paid for advertising on the site. That means his stuff goes up here in guaranteed spots at guaranteed times, just like he would get at WLBT, WAPT, or the CL.

If you've noticed, I've posted videos from both LG candidates and interviews/videos with other candidates as well. Any candidate is welcome to buy advertising on this site and I'll tag it as such. On particular races, I tend to post them all, I probably miss some but try to get them up here for you, the reader. Its no different than the newspaper or tv stations selling advertising and still covering campaigns.

I wasn't criticizing...just asking a question. While expressing your preferences, it's impressive the impartiality that you exert in showing such things. Just one of the reasons I love visiting this site.

Patricia Ice robocalls in Ward 1 this morning. If you didn't know who she was after listening to the message one could easily conclude that she was a conservative. A well, well done robocall that will fool the unsuspecting.

who was making or paying for calls in Madison last weekend about a bill for "consumer choice"? I hung up as soon as I heard that. They may have been calling the whole state.

I live in Ward 1, and I didn't get any calls, pamphlets, etc. There are also no signs anywhere near my house. Maybe the candidates don't know we're in their ward...

This is also the first time I've seen this commercial.

I went to vote at my "regular" polling place, and nothing was there. The CL has a list of pollign places and says a ward 1 resident can vote at any. I'll try after work.

Ice swamped. Whitwell will be the new impotent representative from Ward 1. Not a word out of the JFP.

Alan Lange was correct. The JFP endorsement truly is the kiss of death in local politics!

Congrats Quentin!

I did not see a physical copy of the CL this morning but (please correct me if I'm wrong) I could not find anywhere in the online article about the Ward one race where they identified Quentin as a Republican: http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20110216/NEWS/102160341/Whitwell+wins+Jackson+Ward+1+seat
In my opinion given the CL's history, I'm guessing it's not a coincidence that they left off the part about the newest member of the city council being a Republican.

I sort of disagree with ward one being impotent. In any municapality the areas with higher property values pay more taxes, so those who say the city is just sucking tax dollars out of ward one, really don't have an issue, imo. We have a city council with people like Lumumba and Stokes who think giving pay raises when the city is broke is going to actually bring in more money in sales tax than the raises cost. Not every African American on the council is that stupid. Having a sane member from ward one is a good thing, and I just am not sure where Ice would have come down on this dumb and dumber approach to govt.

I drive all over the city, and imo the roads in south Jax suck as bad as the ones in ward one, so personally I don't feel gouged so much as dispirited.

Jax's school system is broken. A kid in APAC at Murrah or Powers can get a good education, and should have no problem getting into one of the three public universities. But I know there are APAC kids at Murrah who won't go to lunch because they could be targets. If your kid is not APAC material, and you have any option, you're moving to Madison Central or Rankin.

There is some good development downtown, and some young people are moving in. But unless they address the quality education for average students, the city's not addressing its basic problem

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. 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!!!
