Jackson Jambalaya

2 mules.....1 turnip.....who will be the victor...

No need to wonder why most things never get better in Mississippi, whackos to the left and the right dominate the discourse, sane voices more towards the center are drowned-out because of hatred, culture, race, "grab your piece of the small pie" mentality, etc.

Right wing tea party extremists vs. left wing social engineering extremists = MISSISSIPPI NORM!

YAWN ... ZZZZZzzzzzzz

good lord, get some OCD meds..

Punch and Judy

Ya know, if you stop feeding the troll she will starve.

She wants free publicity, more site links which creates more platforms. Stop giving them to her.

Imagine a world where she was reduced to just the rag she prints and the words on her site that nobody ever reads?

I don't think he's feeding her at all......he just providing
a link where we can enjoy untold hours of belly laughs.

Silence is golden, Wyatt. Please STFU. You are helping her. Please ignore her. It runs her nuts.

I love it when lefties fight, even more so when one tries to reason with Ladd who is so far left she dips over the horizon...

Two people with absolutely too much to do. Emmerich inherited enough he can play newspaper all the time. I don't know how Ladd gets by.

i have to admit i pick up each new edition of the JFP because reading the next idiotic column written by ladd is like a train wreck (literally)......i can't bring myself to turn away from it

5:42, what you are describing is known as hathos, defined as "pleasurable loathing."

The term hathos was coined by a great writer (and Jackson native), Alex Heard, back in the 80s when he wrote for the Washington Post.

For Heard, hathos was epitomized in the wee small hours of the Jerry Lewis Telethon when Jerry took on his critics.

Or when Sammy Davis, Jr. came out and performed "Candy Man" except he changed the words to "Jerry Man."

Sadly, the JFP has 10 times the local coverage than the Ledger, no matter how slanted it is. I enjoy reading the Jackson and metro area coverage in the JFP, the ledger puts two sentences in per week about each town, and the rest is AP feeds. I can't believe the NE Sun still exists. I also enjoy this page, aside from a few wacky right wing know-it-alls in the comments section.

Has anyone told you that having a frontal lobotomy can make you as smart as Albert Einstein?

Emmerich,Ladd (and her side-kick Mott) are all cartoons.

I'll never forget when Emmerich went balistic after someone asked him why the "Northside Sun"
web site required a subscripton.

God Bless Ronni Mott....

she did a piece about integration a while back...

I told her my experience 68-71 as I was there....

She said I had tunnel vision as she had read all about it on the internet.....

The sad thing about Ladd and friends is that they do far more harm than good for the very cause I believe they sincerely champion. By trying to turn a decent man like Wyatt Emmerich into a racist just because he doesn't share their politics, they are fanning the flames. Emmerich writes a column every week and they find two items to latch on to, one that he didn't even write. The one that he did write was lifted from a column thats entire point was that the world will be better when people aren't focused on race. Of course if everyone did move on and leave racial differences behind, Ladd and her comrades would have nothing left to lecture us about.

I think Wyatt is just toying with them....like poking a chicken with a stick. PETA should fuss at him for being cruel to the animals.

Ms. Ladd, as I am guessing you read the comments posted on this blog, just help me out here. How is the blather you have posted on your JFP blog supposed to bring Jackson closer together? How is your vitriolic nonsense supposed to help bring Jackson together? Everything you post is from the past. What have you done lately to help close the racial divide? Mr. Emmrich has a good program to help people in Africa get access to clean water and you bash him for not supporting your local cause. How does that advance the "movement" to bridge the "great racial divide" here in Jackson?

Good God. . . I actually tried to read some of that tripe. I don't know Emmerich, or what he thought he was trying to accomplish, but wading into that giant pile of horse shit is, at best, a massive waste of time.

Ms. Ladd actually entertains me with her chronic self-important puffery. Noone could possibly take her seriously. Her posts are the rantings of a crazy person, or at least an OCD/manic person. She is a clown.

I found the comments denigrating Mr. Emmerich's contributions or work in Africa to be rather illuminating.... about the authors of those comments.

All the narcissistic bitch does is opine. She ain't involved in squat in this community, except those efforts she introduces and can control, then brag about.

Off topic, but I thought I'd ask for some help here...

Tom Head has taken over a private group on FB about South Jackson. And by taken over I mean he's stirring the pot and posting Ladd-style to any comments about the current state of affairs of SJ and how it got there.

Any suggestions on how to get him to go the heck away???? I'm afraid some dork made him a mod bc comments are getting deleted from the group.
