FYI, Johnson has been against the parkway from the outset and since his first term. His recent comments in opposition aren't new. He was quiet about his opposition for many years during the time when he was tied up in court trying to subjugate Byram via annexation. Had he been successful in gobbling up Byram he would now be in complete favor of the project.

Great job Kingfish. This area of Hinds County needs this project to begin. If not, the county will continue to lose tax revenue as you mentioned. This project will benefit everybody who lives in Byram, Terry, Raymond and Clinton.

I think I've axed before. Is there a way to know in advance when you will host this radio program? I don't typically listen because Larry is as caustic as was Dave of JT fame, before he got fired.

I agree with Shadowfax....it would be great if you could post on your blog when you will host and the topic if there is one....

Kingfish will be the regular Wednesday morning host on WJNT until further notice... or until he gets tired of it! :)

Grapefruits, softballs and non-stop Tater love.

Pony up. Show us the $400 plus million in the bond bill passed by the House. Do it!

enjoyed the show & a
note to STAN:
Wish we could get Laura Ingram back on @ 9 !!!

These were not grants...These were earmarks. Not that anything is wrong with earmarks.

It is " would not trust you in an outhouse with a muzzle on"......is a north Mississippi comment for people saying items that are heretofore
thought of as unspeakable. I reserved same for you for your Comments toward Sarah Fowler in her "Packet Article" Say what you will about me, I could care less, but a single Mom with such a decent past should be above that, even for you sir.


I respect your opinions and your right to say them. I am an Army veteran and hopefully did that duty to allow people I disagree with to say as they please. I was taught a gentleman does not strike a lady with his fists or actionable words.

Mr. Chairman, while I don't agree that Ms. Fowler's real estate business had anything to do with the story, I can't agree with your notion that as a journalist she is somehow immune to scrutiny because of her gender. She wrote what many would see as an article that was slanted in your direction and critical of the Lieutenant Governor. In my opinion she should have disclosed the formal relationship between you and her publication. The comments on this blog that were related to the story, while perhaps colorful and reflective of the personality of its owner, were completely in line. If your client doesn't want to be in the public eye then she should stay out of the public eye. Bill Billingsley

In my opinion she should have disclosed the formal relationship between you and her publication.

Why don't you start the self-disclosure lovefest Bill and provide all the readers here with a list of your campaign contributions for the past 5 years?

That way we're all on the same page with someone advocating for disclosure and finding fault when it doesn't happen.

Google it, 12:32. It's publicly available information. From memory, I'll try to list: Fred Thompson, Newt Gingrich, Haley Barbour, Charlie Ross, Phil Bryant, Roger Wicker, Thad Cochran, Chip Pickering, Allen Nunnelee, Tate Reeves, Billy Hewes, Stacey Pickering, Mike Chaney, Lynn Fitch, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Delbert Hosemann, Jeffrey Rupp, Lee Yancey, Jack Gordon, Lynn Posey, Ralph Doxey, Will Longwitz, Doug Jones, John Bell Crosby, Knox Ross, Josh Harkins, John Howland. My apologies to any I might have inadvertently left out. If you want to go back a little further when I was chairman of my trade association's national PAC you can include Tom Delay, Max Baucus, Russ Feingold, Charles Grassley and a few others.

That enough disclosure for you? BB

But if people have to ask Bill then you aren't practicing what you're preaching to Sarah Fowler.

Laura Ingraham? Please spare me. Irritating voice, bumper sticker comments, incindiary firebombs lobbed for the sake of impact. Very little thoughtful commentary or thought-provoking analysis. Another comedienne wannabe and penis-envying Limbaugh worshipper.

Got to love it, leave it to a politician so disconnected to not realize Bill's fine support and record is available for public viewing.

I'm telling you this is just the beginning of the chess game that is a Rublican controlled Mississippi. Dems in disarray, past power brokers unsure of their standing, and Tate standing firm (and his publicly available supporters) with a strategy.

Smear campaigns may not be obvious to the general electorate, but here, I bet a few liberal thinking commenters even see through this farce.

4:37, I'm not a newspaper reporter. I'm a regular citizen who has an occasional comment on a blog or two. My political affiliation and past support of candidates isn't germane to the story. Ms. Fowler should have disclosed her paper's relationship with Rep. Smith. BB
