Jackson Jambalaya

maybe he got hung up handing out toys, school supplies, hot dogs, hamburgers (fill in the blank) to his constichents.

If he got near hamburgers and hot dogs, he wasn't handing them out.

He should have been their to take his oaf of office.

"Oaf". that's a good one!

Saw in the CL where Big Kenney's wife planned on running for his vacant city council seat. That should be interesting to say the least.

He couldn't make it cause the one and only suit he has is at the cleaners. And it's about time. That rag is nasty!

Anyone who is surprised by this stunt hasn't been paying attention.

The one good thing about Stokes' election is that he is going to drive Lieutenant Graham absolutely nuts. Stokes will be his glory hound best and suck all (of the little available) oxygen out of the Hinds Sup PR balloon.

On a board of "equals" with no Supervisor possessing the power to muzzle him Stokes takes his "show" to the next level. Just sit back and enjoy!

He said he was late because he had to swing by and resign his other job. He did, however, make perfect sense when the 16 WAPT newsgirl axed him why he had not simply resigned his city seat earlier. He said he would have lost his insurance. Makes sense to me. By the way, thank God his wife did not smile when Jeff swore him in. And Jeff's hug was special too.

Hey, I plan on not being present for my funeral. They want me, they'll have to track me down.

Otoh, at least all of Hinds can now enjoy the special brand of humor that is Kenny Stokes.

He's going to turn over a new leaf. Just you watch.

"make perfect sense when the 16 WAPT"....Hey stupid shit at 5:31. You ever heard of COBRA. It would make perfect sense to a nerdy goob like you. SMTTT.

There are clear remedies for situations as this. You just don't know what they are. Stokes was doing this for attention, knowing people like you would buy his BS.

Why was my reply to the above air-headed post not allowed?

Unless, of course, KF is anon 9:52. It does make perfect sense to resign only after the new position's benefits kick in. The anon poster who refers to me as 'stupid shit' obviously has no clue what COBRA costs for an individual, much less a family. Not resigning also retains life insurance provided by the city as well as other benefits. Most importantly, the man (like him or hate him) was the job's incumbent until he resigned.

Shadow, take out the sentence "there... me" and it goes up.

Let's try for the third time. I'm the 'stupid shit' 'nerdy goob' at 5:31 whose knowledge of COBRA was challenged by the genius at 9:52.

Nobody in their right mind would elect COBRA continuation unless forced to by termination of coverage. COBRA is very expensive for an individual, not to mention for a family. By resigning, even this stupid shit knows that Stokes would have lost his family coverage and would have had to pay almost double premiums under COBRA, for at least one month. Very cumbersome, expensive and unnecessary.

Additionally, at resignation, he would have immediately given up his free, city-paid life insurance, disability coverage under PERS and who knows what other benefits he had as an employee of Jacktown.

Whether we love or hate the rotund ratchet-mouth, he did the only sensible thing ~ resign and then go on the county payroll. He couldn't hold both positions simultaneously so resigning one on the way to the other makes sense.

Not sure what SMTTT means since I'm not into that teenaged shorthand.

SMTTT is for "Southern Miss To The Top". You being a USM guy (nerd) should know this.

SMTTT of what? Your conference, HA!

7:13, why don't you start your own blog, and quit trying to be of equal status with KF?

You are the most annoying MF on the internet, save Al Sharpton.

If you find SFax the most annoying you obviously don't get out much. Don't agree with some of his commentary but his observation of COBRA is spot on.

I only post under the moniker Shadowfax. If you find facts annoying,screw you clueless. Not sure what you mean by 'equal status with KF'. I didn't realize he was posting as anon. Merely trying to post facts. Get over it or lump it.

I agree with 10:31. Please STFU.

Kinnie-S on da Hinze Countie'z bode . " Dis an dat, and dis an dat "

Boil some chitlin's and fire the 38 special, then call the press and pretend you are having a toy give away.. or something .

The next four years should be too funny for Hinds County.

Supervisor Stokes is already considered a liability by
the current slate of Hinds County Officials.
