Jackson Jambalaya

all on the tax payers dime im sure...

I'm guessing that's Parham Bridges South on the itinerary.

Not botherin' to click to read fine print but will bet five points aka Freedom Corner on here or at least will get a 'swang by'.

Except for the addition of the ward events and the repetitive use of "People"in the advisory the inaugural activities appear to be along the lines of what we have seen with prior mayors elect. Mayor Johnson selected the then newly opened Convention Center for the 2009 swearing in and evening gala, and will be used again. Traditionally, private funds have been used to pay for inaugural events, and Merrida Coxwell has been soliciting contributions this time. The Inaugural Chair, Wilma Scott, is the director of the Jackson area office of the USEEOC.
As for Senators Horhn and Jones, my impression is that they will find the Lumumba event comparatively stayed. The Mayor- elect doesn't drink. Horhn endorsed the other guy. I hope Northeast Jackson will accept the invitation to attend the Ward One event at Parham Bridges. Councilman Whitwell has wisely devoted his leadership to improving the park.

Improving the park? For whom? Certainly not for the average Jacksonian. Whitwell's "improvements" are ripping out all of the wonderful trees for more tennis courts.

"The People's Inaugural Celebration"? Damn, he just went straight for the folk-socialist rhetoric, didn't he?

I hope the People's Revolutionary Guard (formerly JPD) will be on hand in case the people start throwing themselves at the Dear Leader's feet.

Was this the group I saw pictured with Lumumba - approximately ten black folk and one odd looking, overweight white dude I didn't recognize? Good to see him kicking off the term with an air of diversity. More of the 'we in charge' attitude.

He's going to ward 1? Amazing.

Over weight weird white dude = Bill Chandler. I was glad to see he made the transition team. What a bunch of freaks.

The real Lumumba(Patrice) was liquidated by orders from POTUS Eisenhower to agent Larry Devlin at the DIA in January 1961, just days before JFK was sworn in as POTUS. And in a strange twist of irony, all that copper that the Belgian minning companies coveted in the Congo is now "owned" by Mississippi's own "CopperBug" Richard Adkerson, CEO of Freeport MacMoran. Adkerson is an honor graduate of MSU's business school and is a "behind the curtain" mover and shaker in Mississippi politics.

So, what is this "team" going to do? Any whites with city jobs and city contracts better get ready for the "transition." It's going to be an 80/20 black/white diversity thing for the next four or more years. Anybody want to bet that after the celebration there will be vendors who won't get paid? Just like the Stokes bus deal.

yawn.... what is so funny, now that da peoples have elected, um, what ever he is, the bold new city is dead and you don't even know it.. heck, sugar ditch is looking better and better!

Anticipating the impending love fest @ Parham Bridges the Chuckster's voters decided to hold a carjacking there yesterday. No word yet out of the Twitterwell whether or not carjackings and other crimes will help attract bigger tennis tourneys.

Drive by Parham Bridges Park one morning and see who's walking the trail. The apartments across the street are HUD. There will be plenty of enthusiastic Ward 1 residents to come get some free barbecue or whatever and enthusiastically greet the president-elect of Kush.
