KIM Waaaaaaaaaade steps up to the plate

Made this announcement on Facebook:
The election for supervisor is not until 2015. I will be touching all the bases for a run at that time. I will start going door to door in 2014. I intend to take a page from Judge Dwayne Thomas and knock on every door in the district.

While Robert Graham's performance has been increasingly disappointing of late. I am not running against him. I am running to unshackle the potential Hinds County has for a higher level of prosperity for all who want to prosper. Increase prosperity will fund the needs of those Hinds County residents who just want to enjoy the fruits of their labor in peace and tranquility. Better roads, schools and infrastructure won't roll in on the wheels of pipe dreams and political theater. But I know creating an atmosphere where money feels safe will help fill the county coffers. 


I am a reluctant entrant for political office. I do not lust for this or any political position. But things have gotten to far gone. It's clear left to their own devices the people of Hinds County will never see their hard earned tax dollars respected by those charged with spending them unless we send someone down there willing to implement a 12 step program called "Red Wing" therapy if necessary.

Did you want me to point out the numerous grammatical errors in this "statement?"

Kingfish said...

Kim will admit he's not a good writer. He just doesn't have a press secretary or hack writing for him like most of these pols do.

Grammatical errors, really! The answer to your question, NO.

KaptKangaroo said...

I'll write for him. Or help in any way! Great news!

Grammatical errors, especially in a shotgun message to the public by a would-be politician, are inexcusable. Saying "I'm not a writer" does NOTHING to that error.

And Kingfish's comment that 'he doesn't have a press secretary' does nothing to solve the problem. There are people on every street corner, in every office, in every building, in every schoolhouse who can proofread. But, I do NOT recommend he use Kingfish for a proofreader.

Kim needs to get to let us know where to mail campaign contributions.

Kingfish said...

No he doesn't. Because when he qualifies, bye bye microphone.

I smitten... too bad he is married

What is meant by 'bye bye microphone? That's what happened with the phony lieutenant. He got qualified, then never addressed the public again before election to the board.

It is my perception that this blog is considered a "White Blog" because it is generally a conservative in nature. If too many folks come out in favor of Kim Wade and want to back him, you can throw him in the junk pile with Jonathan Lee. Jackson and Hinds County voters are racist and will not vote for a perceived Uncle Tom. I know the man can hold his on in a public debate, but let's not do him any favors here.

That isn't my perception at all 4:25. This blog is more diverse than any in the area and that is because Kingfish isn't a comment control freak.

Bye bye microphone means that he'll either have to give up his radio show once he qualifies or the station will have to give each of his opponents equal time.

6;25, exactly correct. But Kim should take the tack that Chris McDaniel (now Senator McDaniel) took in Jones County back in 2007. McDaniel had an afternoon radio show and he continued it after qualifying, and "hoped" that his opponent would come on his show with him every day. Was willing to give him the time on his show, allowing him a daily debate with them. Neither of his opponents (one a Repub, the other a Dem) took him up.

Would love to see Graham come on to Kim's show every afternoon - the station would that way be giving the "equal time" and Kim would be able to force a daily discussion of the issues.

Let the games begin.

bill said...

Good idea, 7:22. I doubt Graham would do it, but it would be fun to listen to.

The ones who are nitpicking Kim's grammar skills need to just shut up. Don't vote for him if you're looking for an English major. He's a good man with his heart in the right place, and he should be an inspiration to everyone who's interested in our government at any level. Courageous people like Kim Wade and others who have made the commitment to run for office against firmly entrenched incumbents are heroes to me because they're the ones who show the rest of us that it can be done.

Kim is a Morehouse College grad (MLK is a Morehouse grad). No way the folks in Jackson will call him an "uncle tom." They will rally behind this man even if he is a conservative. Just look how the rallied behind Herman Cain another Morehouse man... Oh uh wait... nevermind
My point being.. these are not the folks who would follow MLK voting in this city. Thugs and baby mommas vote for thugs and baby mammas

Once a Muslim ........

(Deny that Bill)

kim wade said...

My grammar "is" atrocious. But not my ability to communicate.

I know folks who can write like Shakespeare. But yet can't pass the bar exam....
My 57 years of living has shown the smarter students often end up working for the C students.
Charles Evers dad when asked about the negro college grads. He said, "I hires dem negroes".

bill said...

Deny what? You're saying that Kim was once a Muslim? I don't know Kim well enough to know his religious past, but my answer to that, provided there's even a shred of truth to it, is so what? Does that somehow make him less courageous or otherwise not qualified?

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Every person who ever ran for dog catcher has something in his past that he'd just as soon not have to admit. Instead of looking at candidates from the standpoint of what they can do going forward we tend to look for the dirt - anything we can use against them. Few people run for office these days on their own merits. It's much more effective to base your campaign on your opponent's mistakes. There is a certain degree of validity to this approach. After all, why run against an incumbent if you're not going to point out his mistakes and tell the voters why they'd be better off with you? That said, it's much more effective, especially when your opponent doesn't have a past in public service, to dredge up anything personal in his past that will hurt him with uninformed voters. Did he run around on his wife or go through a nasty divorce? Was she pregnant before she got married, or worse still, did she have an abortion? Anything to stain the opposition is okay, and people will shamelessly hurt an entire family if it will help them win an election. Kim Wade's - or anyone else's - past religious affiliation has nothing to do with his ability to serve as a county supervisor, and is an example of why many good and decent people don't want to run for elective office. If true, then it's an ever greater testament of Kim's courage.

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.
