Jackson Jambalaya

Linday lost in the Justice Court race over in Rankin County, thank God. How did his co-hort do in the Madison County Justice Court race? I can't remember the guy's name....

I also noticed that all the statewide/countywide uncontested GOP candidates in Rankin County got over 29,000 votes -- except for Steve Simpson. Apparently a bunch of us just couldn't hold our noses and vote for that guy.

Oh, and with an open primary system Mac would've been partying hard at Hal & Mal's last night. I'm just sayin' (again again).

The only thing that worked in Hinds County like it is supposed to was Mac's group...Now, it looks like we have a thug leading the decline....time to bail!

I'm amused to see Kenny finally got his HindsCoBOS seat. I'm wondering if he's an improvement or what.

Hope Hinds County republicans felt real good when they voted for those foregone conclusions, instead of Sheriff McMillin.

Now Hinds County belongs to the Republic of New Africa.

There's very important absentee vote count going on right now in the Madison Co Courthouse to determine the final results in the District 3 BOS race.

I understand 1,000 votes are being counted. There were only 117 between DI Smith and Gerald Steen...the unofficial winner.

I wonder if Sheriff Tyrone Lewis will appoint any soldiers from the Republic of New Africa or the New Black Panthers as deputy sheriffs.
Wouldn't be surprised.
Afterall, Chokwe Lumumba has said according to the RNA creed-- WE will achieve our objectives by any means necessary.

I'm assuming the absentee ballots could push Longwitz over the 50% mark?

I was kind of stunned by how flat-out rude Mac was to the reporter from WAPT last night. Her questions didn't seem out of line to me. If he didn't want to answer questions he shouldn't have agreed to be interviewed. I'm still sorry to see him lose though.

The WAPT reporters are stupid, but pretty and have huge racks...that is why they got hired!

3:22 I didn't think Mac was so much rude as the young lady's interviewing style was weak -- she was asking questions, not having a conversation. He expected her to come back with, "Oh, I'm going to be doing this for a LONG time" to which he would have replied "Me too." A good interview is a dance, and that reporter had two left feet.

$2 million bucks in BS salaries and positions are gone from the Sheriffs Office. The Marines are moving in!

I feel so sorry for Hinds County residents. Your property value just fell 50% over night.

BS. Whatever.

If Mac ends up loosing the primary, Jackson needs to write him in!!!

Randy Tucker for Sheriff in Madison County! The runoff is only 3 weeks away and those who supported Harbour and Sandridge need to put thier support behind Tucker.

"The runoff is only 3 weeks away and those who supported Harbour and Sandridge need to put thier support behind Tucker."

Well, we know that Houston ran a P.D. that cranked out false DUI arrests, so we can expect more of the same from MCSO if he's elected.

Tucker it is, then.

It party time for Tyrone Jr. I can already hear the thumping of Young Jeezy wafting across I-220.

Now that Lewis is sheriff and Kenny is a supe, all the groundwork is laid for David Watkins to turn Metrocenter into an indoor Six Flags, complete with luxury hotel, movie theaters, indoor water park and solar powered workout stations (whatever those are).

And if you think I'm making that last bit up, google "project retro metro".

Jackson gonna be a PARADISE!

all the groundwork is laid for David Watkins to turn Metrocenter into an indoor Six Flags, complete with luxury hotel, movie theaters, indoor water park and solar powered workout stations

Put a NASCAR track through the surrounding parking lot, and you've got a bipartisan project!

Watkins sells the KE/SL complex before his 10 year kickback of sales tax collections expires.

Bank on it.

Y'all are forgetting the most important part of the nail in the coffin for Hinds....Bennie becomes NE Jackson's Representative! Mass Exodus insues - Lewis, Stokes and Thompson a Trifecta!

It is wealth redistribution LeBeau. Drive the whites out of NEJax for pennies on the dollar.

But for the Chokwe-era racists the short term "gain" is won for the price of longer term tax revenue shortfall pain.

Jackson is going BK and the myth spread by the downtown cult that the suburbs will also fail is only that, a myth.

That's BS about the false DUI arrests in Ridgeland. Houston will be the next sheriff of Madison County. You can make book on that.

Some of these comments about Tyrone Lewis are ridiculous.

Look, I like Malcolm McMillin just as much as anyone else. Twelve years ago Sheriff McMillin gave me a job when I desperately needed one. If he hadn't hired me, I probably wouldn't have had the money to even pay the application fee to take the bar exam (much less pass it). I've never forgotten how he helped me. He's a good man who has rendered years of loyal service to the citizens of this county.

That being said, this vitriol toward Tyrone Lewis is out-of-line. One anonymous asshole (213pm) called Lewis a thug. Then the ghost of Tom Metzger (Anon 237pm) writes that "now Hinds County belongs to the Republic of New Africa." Are you kidding me? Why don't you just go ahead and start using the N-word you racist fuck?

You scumbags make *me* want to join the Republic of New Afrika.

Tyrone Lewis has been a law enforcement officer for 30 years. He's college-educated, and has held every rank in JPD, from patrol officer to interim chief. He's served the citizens honorably. Are there some things he could have done differently during his time at JPD? Of course. That just makes him human.

I know some people are upset Sheriff McMillin lost. Others just like trashing Hinds County. Regardless of the motivation for these disgusting comments, how about showing Mr. Lewis some goddamn respect.

Any more news on D.I./Steen in Mad County? Have they finished counting absentees?

I don't think I'll be employing an attorney who uses the words fuck and goddamn on a public forum, using his own name. Perhaps the Republic do be needin' a good attorney to ride shotgun to Choke-um.

553pm: "That's BS about the false DUI arrests in Ridgeland. Houston will be the next sheriff of Madison County. You can make book on that."

"Make book on that????" Really. You sound like the mentally retarded version of B--RAD on Malibu's Most Wanted.

Junior, since you are apparenty new here, please allow me to educate you about Jimmy Houston's adopted son and DUI guru, Daniel Soto. Follow the links below to view Kingfish's excellent reporting on little Soto's exploits.

After viewing the posts, text the old man and ask him when we can "make book" on him getting off his 68 year-old ass and arresting his boy Soto.

Shadow, if the word "fuck" offends you, then we probably wouldn't be a good fit anyway. I mean that respectfully.

As far as using my real name in a public forum, I've always been of the opinion that if I'm not willing to put my name beside my comments, then I shouldldn't be commenting in the first place.

I don't think I'll be employing an attorney who uses the words fuck and goddamn on a public forum, using his own name.

Are you a snob or a Preacher?

KF...

Thanks for all of the coverage. As usual, very good work.

I like the "mildly" edited comments you have allowed.

Thanks

The false DUI arrests are exactly the reason we will not be voting for Houston, nice guy but very shotty things have gone on in Ridgeland, so our extended family counts for 17 votes for Tucker. It should have been addressed.

I'd rather hire a lawyer who is obviously passionate about his opinions and convictions and stands behind them using his own name, than some obviously rascist fuck hiding behind an anonymous screen name.

Delta

I am a ne jackson resident and I am not going anywhere near the suburbs. People deny moving to the suburbs because of race then look at the comments here. I do not spend my time obsessing about where other people live, why do so many others on here.

It is amazing to me what a really great job,that wapt, ch16 did last night, great reporting. from (I think) 8pm on.
Turned to ch 3 wlbt at 10. it was mistake after mistake, like they did't know what they were doing. even Howard seemed confused ??? plus lots of teck problems, went back to 16
something is wrong at 3 !

he can say fuck all day long, i dont care. i wont use an attorney, plumber, ANYONE who uses the R WORD!

Jimmy Houston is by far the more qualified candidate. This should not even be a race. Tucker and his "flunkies" can hang it up, rightfully so.

I also don't understand the mocking of David Watkins and Ben Allen.....we concern yourself with what others want to do? At least they are doing something positive with their lives and for their community.

I'm just happy for Kennet Stoke.

Nobody forces you to read here Skippy. You have NO IDEA what people are or are not doing with their lives.

Erin Kelly looked hot 2nite @ 6. Never grow tired of that rack!

Crowley it seems you are seriously kissing some Tyrone ass. You need work that badly? Things going poorly for your pissant practice? If you think that that crowd is going to be impressed by your self-serving rants, you've got a real shock coming. So, slip on your dashiki, put your hair up in cornrows, bend over and fuck yourself, asshole.

So, after the absentee votes who won the district 3 supervisor position? D.I. Smith or Gerald Steen?

I betcha Curt is seriously wounded from your anonymous broadside ... NOT!

Maybe we should all just go to lunch and talk about this in person. Wearing masks, of course.

So 9:20, you've got one anonymous jerkwad calling out another anonymous poster. Isn't that special? As for the "NOT", you know the saying, "the eighties called and they want their fifth grade comeback back".

Basically Mac lost voters with white flight and he has really changed since he was first elected and lost more voters. Lewis kicked his ass. Sorry Mac.

I pray I don't need to hire Curt! I instead hope to buy him a beer!

Kapt

Ah, 9:12 PM, got Exlax? All that shit backed up to your head obviously has hit a nerve.

Curt is a fine attorney and despite your beliefs, runs an excellent practice and is a real person who demonstrates greater character than you sir by standing behind everything he says.

Thank you, have a nice day!

Oh, if the shit has reached your ear drums that is literal for F Off.

Will Longwitz Vs Charles Barbour
Senate District 25, Hinds and Madison Counties

The official count in the Barbour vs Longwitz Senate District 25 race places Will Longwitz with 49.776% of the votes cast at the polling stations. Presently, absentee and affidavit ballots are being counted to see if Longwitz actually attained 50% of the total vote or not. If he gets above that threshold, the primary is over and Longwitz is the Republican nominee. If he stays below 50%, he and Charles Barbour duke it out all over again on August 23.

Curt:

I too think a fair examination should be had of Tyrone. He has poor judgment in a position that requires just the opposite. He is a perjurer and has poor judgment.

He allowed his son to steal from the City of Jackson...he allowed his son to profit from taxpayer dollars via parties thrown and covers kept at city training facilities. Then he tried to justify it. That is poor beyond the pale.

What else? The Mississippi Supreme Court all but called Tyrone a perjurer in the Rebelwood case which was rendered not that long ago. You know, the one where Tyrone swore under oath that a lady died at the Rebelwood apartments and that the apartment owner should be held liable for lack of security...when Tyrone knew all along the lady was actually dumped (already dead) at Rebelwood.

Your attempt to endorse his actions make you an accessory to perjury in my opinion. FYI...when they trace the money Tyrone used to run his election campaign back to perjury suborning shit sacks...you will have to come back here and genuflect while you felate every person on here who called you out on your absurd selfserving suck job you just performed on Tyrone.

Bitch.

Addressing 8:14 : If Houston is so great, why have 21 employees left the Ridgeland Police Dept in the past year because they don't like working for him.- If you live in Madison Co. I'm guessing you expect the "flunkies" to protect your ass huh?

I think the absentee ballots in Madison are done, but we don't have a total yet. The affidavits will be done tomorrow. I think it won't take long (a few hours), and then we'll have results. There are a lot of ballots outstanding, but not so many when you divide out the district DI is in. Don't know what the number is, but it will be difficult for him to close the gap. Longwitz still has a shot at avoiding a runoff.

I'm not a Houston fan at all, but they only had six people leave this year and only one or two blamed Houston

Well, your best bet is Tucker. He already knows the ins & outs of the SO and the Jail. He knows the strengths & weaknesses. He's ready & familiar from day 1. As Houston said on WLBT tonight, they need to upgrade their computers. If he knew anything about the SO, he would know they upgraded only 1 1/2 yrs ago. Things are fine at the SO, and the citizens of this county do not need it shaken up.

I'm neither a snob nor a preacher and use both terms regularly in my daily life. However, it's my assumption that snobs, preachers, ladies and perhaps children view this site.

On a note more related to the subject at hand, the reason Stokes has called for an investigation of Hinds County voting procedures has now come to light (at least for me). His wife lost in her bid to become a Hinds County Justerce Coat Jurdge.

Jackson Jambalaya: A jambalaya of commentary, politics, culture, and jackassery in Jackson, Mississippi

We don't need a President who talks in soundbites ... It makes us want to vomit.

7:34, the subtitle already says "politics." No redundant addition is required.

Wow, eloquence abounds in this thread.

I'm sorry, Curt, but you need to do better. If you cannot make your point with passion, yet without vulgarity, you probably chose the wrong profession.

To dismiss perjury as "things he could have done differently" is ludicrous. People have legitimate concerns about a man who displayed an attitude of disregard for the law as JPD interim chief. Now that he's sheriff, how he may conduct himself (given his history) is troubling to say the least.

You feel differently? Fine, but if you feel you must spit obscenities to make your point, then please head over to the JFP where they consider such discourse the pinnacle of incisive debate, rather than the dregs of inarticulate buffoonery.

Reed get off your horse.

Yeah, whatever Kappy sez.

Anybody hear any condemnation out of the JFP for the cluster f'k of a primary the Hinds Democratic Party botched on Tuesday? And when you have a problem with the machines at ONE (Wynndale) of 162 precincts it is 99.999999% most likely to be a case of precinct OPERATOR ERROR and not that of the election commission.

Thanks, Reed, for your excellent comments. Pay no attention to the clowns whose only reason for writing comments in this forum is to attack with tacky words those with whom they disagree.
Judging from comments Kangaroo and his ilk have written in the past I believe they have a problem.
It's not hard to make a guess.

The preceding sanctimony above courtesy of another anonymous nobody.

US debt shot up $238 billion to reach 100 percent of gross domestic project after the government's debt ceiling was lifted, Treasury figures showed Wednesday.

The last time US debt topped the size of its annual economy was in 1947 just after World War II.

Today the U.S. Debt = $14.5 trillion and counting

When Obama took office in January 2009 the U.S. Debt was $9.986 trillion

When Bush took office in January 2001 the U.S. Debt was $5.629 trillion

Before the end of his first term President Epic Fail will have increased the U.S. debt by a larger amount than under Bush’s entire two-term presidency.

Yada, yada, yada. Yada, yada, yada.

Thoughts?

I shore deaux my share of cussin' when amongst friends and a few others, but I try not to do too much of it on a public board when my momma or Sunday School teacher might be on the other side of an anonymous handle.

The only thing more pitiful than a boorish professional who recruits clients by using nasty foul language are those who under guise of anonymity congratulate, 10-4 and support his sophomoric behavior.

It would be nice if folks watched
their mouth on posting profanity- not everyone has a gutter mouth or mind. The best quote so far is "Elvis has checked into the heart break hotel" Dick Hall kicked butt!!!! Maybe elvis has left the building for good!!!!

The preceding sanctimony above courtesy of another anonymous nobody.

Nobody is forcing you to ready anything here Shadowfax. Your whining is pathetic.

What's the latest in Madison County on DI's race?

Sorry you prefer gutterspeak, Kaptain. I can't do anything about you, Curt or your cadre of potty mouthed FreePressers who think tossing in an f-bomb or two when you just can't come up with a better alternative makes your commentary hip and edgy. All I can do is try to behave in a civil manner and be considerate of those who may encounter my writings.

If that constitutes being "on a horse", I'll continue to ride, thank you very much.

Ya'll take that discussion on over to the Strunk and White blog. Let's talk politics. All kinds of good stuff (or shit, depending on your preference) is happening in some of these races.

Madison County is still counting absentee, affidavits are next.

Madison County is expected to be completed late this afternoon.

I ain't whinin' potty-lover 1:17. Just stating an opinion, which I think is the purpose of this board to begin with. It's my vote for civil discourse since women, preachers, the infirm and children are viewing.

And to those of you who seem to really get off on 'the racks' at Kellog's station, here's bettin' you really get a tingle up your leg when tuning in to Maddow or The View. Enjoy.

Reed:

The strong profanity in my comment was directed primarily at the 2 klukkers who made the overtly racist statements.

You're the first person I've ever heard refer to me as a "Freepresser." Somewhat ironic when you consider that the JFP is firmly behind Sheriff McMillin (and really, really dislikes Tyrone Lewis).

Hi Kingfish. Didn't know if you had heard this or not. Some of the ballots didnt list McMillan's name, just Tyrone's name. When questioned by a voter, the response was--that's the way they (the ballots) came to us, so they're right.

Dear Coward at 10:02pm:

You refer to me as a "Bitch." And you do so anonymously. That's about all I have to say about that.

You say it's a "suck job" when I said nice things about Lewis, but didn't bitch when I said nice things about McMillin.

You then accuse Lewis of perjury, and campaign finance violations. Then you wrap it all up by accusing others of suborning perjury.

All done anonymously.

You are a coward. A gutless, pathetic coward.

The strong profanity in my comment was directed primarily at the 2 klukkers who made the overtly racist statements.

No excuse, Curt. It adds no gravitas to your retort, it only makes you look bad. And despite who the sneering class at the Fondren Weekly are supporting (or not), they and their ilk love to use foul language.

If I lumped you in with the Free Press crowd it is because your vulgar language choices are akin to theirs, not because of your choice of candidate.

As far as the Republic of New Afrika reference, Lewis was enthusiastically endorsed by Chokwe Lumumba, an endorsement he happily accepted. Lumumba was the vice president of the Republic of New Afrika, a seditious separatist movement based on race. The reference is far from a baseless racial slur.

However, if you consider such monikers beyond the pale, perhaps you may wish to reconsider you reference to those posters as "klukkers", hmmm?

Thanks Mr. Broken Record.

Wow!
These comments make me think I'm living in the 1950's. McMillian did a good job the last twenty years. It's time to move on. I hope he doesn't ruin his legacy.

HEAR HEAR, Reed! Toast to you, sir.

Curt:

You are a bitch.

I hope you have to defend Lewis in open court and have to watch him get carved into pieces con cross. Lewis lied under oath. As a lawyer surely you understand how a a perjurer is not fit to be Sheriff?

He stole money from the city.

Do you see a pattern?

Let me help you connect the dots since you can't quite get there....Lewis is a thug crook dumbass!

Just because you don't know my name does not make Lewis viable...nor does it make you less of a bitch. Don't get confused.

Reed, AGAIN, get off your horse. Shadowfax, Reed, and Anon. Please stop trolling. If you want to bitch about Curt why not make an appointment? Oh I forgot, he'd pwn you!

Trolling? I believe I've made my points succinctly and without name calling. Wait, I did refer to someone as a "Freepresser", which is about as nasty a name as I can imagine. My apologies for the vulgarity.

I'm sorry if you can't handle a call for decent language, Kapt. If it's too much for you, that's a bit sad. Your childish "dare" is far closer to trolling than anything I've written here, and if Curt's going to walk in here and post, he should expect response. I've seen his and your writings, and I'm not really worried about being "pwnt" by either of you.

You've been fed, troll. Eat hearty.

As far as the Madison County Sheriffs race,B.H. needs to put on his big girl panties and deal with losing and back"his own" instead of being bitter.And the reason J Houston got the votes he did is b/c Ridgeland voters dont want him back there so throw the votes to him...bad politics.RandyTucker has been running a good,clean race and is clearly the best man for the job.
