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...

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

Your comment had nothing to do with the post.

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.

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.

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

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.

... 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.

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 .
