What is the connection between those NEJax boxes and the Belhaven #9 box?

How are the elections in 2009 and 2010 germane to 2011? On the surface those are apples-to-oranges comparisons.

PetePerry said...

what the comparison is, my friend, is the number of total voters, even though they were totally different elections. It does tell a strong story of lower turnout this election. When the 2010 (which was nothing but a judicial race) turnout is higher than a statewide primary election, that's newsworthy. The 2009 is slightly different, it was a city election. But still, the turnout in a city election for Mayor - with NE Jxn having a large turnout compared to this statewide primary - is still newsworthy.

This turnout - compared to the 2010 - taken at roughly the same time - is anemic. And, in the world of real politics, that's news.

Thanks Pete but I knew all of that. I was interested in Kingfish's cockneyed explanation.

Maybe you can share the connection Pete, my good friend, between Belhaven #9 and the NEJax boxes considering all the boxes in-between that were left out?

Kingfish said...

Because it was nearby. That good enough for you?

Oh it is more than that Kingfish.

GO Sheriff Mac!!! President Obama is counting on you!!! Go Democrats!!! GO Hinds County Democrats!!!

Anonymous said...

Just heard from Clinton that:
1. some people are mad as hell
about the school consolidation
issue [voting for Tate]; and
2. Everybody else is voting Dem.
for Mac

Anonymous said...

I've heard the opposite from Clinton.

Why were so many Obama/Biden supporters from Belhaven, Fondren and NE Jackson, encouraging conservative Reublicans to vote in the Democratic Primary this year?

Dorsey and Barack on Brokeback Mountain said...

Go HINDS Democrats!!! Show those teabaggers who really packs the stones!!!

Tyrone - "YO New Sheriff". Thank you very much.....

Will we ever be done with all Barbour's and their cronies?

KF I surprised at your precinct 33 totals. I voted in the GOP primary at 2 and was 237. I heard many of my GOP friends in Hinds say they were going to vote in the DEM primary either to rid us of Mac or to vote for him.
Mac screwed himself with his handling of Irby.
But, also, school starts earlier people and the last two weeks before school starts back is NOT a good time to do this. When school started later, this was OK. Politicians need to keep up with real world life.
And, there's both parties successfully convincing us that our vote doesn't matter anymore. We'll get arrogant jerks who don't want to solve problems but want to help their party buddies no matter what we do.

By the way, I like Tyrone telling the criminals of Hinds that they'd better find a new place to live. He sounded like Mrs. Malaprop delivering his speech, but the sentiments were fairly encouraging. If he wants the black folks to be able to sit on their porches without fear, that's a better goal than making sure some poor little rich boy stays out of trouble.

Yup. Big campaign contributions are a hard drug to kick.

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.
