What does Green do to be considered best local cop.

Funny the pandering to Ridgeland. Is this area becoming a part of Jacktown?

Their 'best of' effort lost its cachet long ago. It is a farce and charade so that Ladd and Stauffer can act like bigshots at a party they throw for themselves so that they may have a platform to act like bigshots at a party. Won't be long before they launch an affinity club and discount coupon book hawked by school kids for fund raising.

I find it amusing they were picking projects that are stagnant. Farish Street, well, Mr. Watkins says something will open this year. Ok, we will see and congratulate him if it does. OCG, that was too easy. One of the easiest projects I've ever busted. Here we are at the end of August. He promised shovels would turn in August. See any? Nope. All because he couldn't get a parking garage from the taxpayers. Right. If the JFP had bothered to ask one or two half-tough questions instead of cheerleading Old Capitol Green, they might have figured out it had problems.

I'll put it this way, It would be nice to see the JFP apply to some of these projects the same level of scrutiny she gives to Two Lakes.

I don't even know what Boom Jackson is.........but I do live in a cave (a very nice cave).

Also - why would the Fortification street project not be "voted" the BEST CONSTRUCTION PROJECT??? This road has needed repaving and repairing for YEARS!!!!!!!!!! I can't think of any other project that would trump it when you think of projects in the capital city that are actually "in the works."

calendula has had a lot of 'projects' on farish street...

Shadowfax said...

Oh goodness; KF is upset with me and censors my comments today.

Kingfish said...

Your comment had nothing to do with the post.

Anderson said...

Totally agree re: Fortification. It's been so bad I would avoid it on principle, and with the bizarre I-55 entry from Woodrow Wilson to worry about, that ruled out two access points to the interstate. Best thing since, uh, fixing High Street.

Anderson said...

KF: What, he failed to post some completely irrelevant factoid about Obama, using my name in his handle?

Try that next time, SFX. Those comments seem to be no problem.

Anonymous said...

That is your problem Anderson. You view Obama's economic destruction of this country as irrelevant. So much for your credibility.

Anderson said...

As opposed to the GOP's plan to cut taxes without so much as matching it with expenditure cuts?

I like your plan to pay off debt by cutting your income. Let me know how that works out.

The Dems' economic policy hasn't been stellar, but given the GOP's dedication to ensuring there would be no "Obama recovery," I can't think of much the Dems could have done. Though I am open to hearing your recommendations.

Anderson said...

... Btw, am I really alone in being amused that someone who posts as "Anonymous" is disappointed in my "credibility"?

Because really, I think that should be a bipartisan funny.

Now excuse me, I need to go find a chair and lecture it. Have a good weekend, JJ fans ...

Too funny. Hey Anderson, my nom de plume is "Anonymous" just as yours is "Anderson". Get over yourself. You are no less anonymous than any other anonymous here.

Andrew said...


Is there some point you are trying to make Anderson @ August 31, 2012 4:14 PM?

Anderson is Norm De Ploom?

Just further proof of the JFP's growing irrelevancy as a local news outlet. Not because they lack talent, but their biased reporting and agenda driven cherry picking of stories make them unreliable as a sole source for local news.

I remeber when JFP ran a story on my worthless brother's "homeless mission" 2 or 3 years ago. My brother can't tell the truth so when he was asked about his "life story" be shot them a line of BS and that threw me and my parents under the bus...well, I found out right away that JFP didn't give a hoot about the truth and didn't seem overly concerned that my brother had conned them with stories about his greatness!!!

I picked up one of those Boom magazines what must have been a year or so ago, maybe longer. It was the first I'd seen of it. The cover story had an interesting hook, so I thought I'd give it a try.

As I flipped through it, I saw a few people I knew who had their picture in it for something or other, but it seemed to have an inordinate focus on making sure that there was at least one homosexual (usually two) in every collection of people profiled in the articles.

I figured the publisher could print what they wanted, but there was such a focus on identifying these people's lifestyle that I assumed the title had some hidden meaning that I didn't understand and that the magazine was targeted to that community.

I guess I'm not all that surprised to find out that it's a JFP effort, but I am surprised to find out that maybe it's not the alternative lifestyle publication it appeared to be.

Okay, libs, flame away. (No pun intended.)

I'll give Donna & crew credit.

"BOOM Jackson" is a very impressive visual product :
great layout , photography, and interesting cover stories.

The problem is that they are too blatant with their "in your face" leftist political agenda.

I really enjoy viewing the glossy advertisements in "BOOM". These ads tell me where NOT to spend my cash.

Their events calender is hilarious.

Sorry Donna, I'm not going to slip on my birkenstocks and ride the Vespa down to
a fondren "bistro" just to celebrate the latest "Diversity is our strength-Rainbow coalition / illegal aliens / Gay meeting" .

Most potential customers do not consider such crap as an "event" anyway .

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.

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.
