Can't make this up. Memphis crackhead version

WREG (Memphis) reported how a homeless couple treated their free home: 




(Memphis) Police say a Memphis homeless couple given a free home this year has since stripped it for parts.

Police say the couple took everything inside this house to buy crack cocaine.

Patricia Douglas and Willie Banner got the home in February as part of a federal program to house 100,000 homeless people around the country.

Back in February, the couple was overjoyed to get placed in the house.

Now, it’s all boarded up. Rest of the article

The Obamacrackhouse is a natural extension of the Obamaphone.

Where's the surprise. The entitled have been wrecking free housing for sixty years. One who has no skin in the game will shit in the endzone.

12:46 you are exactly right. Go look at Section 8 housing 3-4 years after it is built. It will be falling down. This is not suprising at all. When you work 60 hours a week to pay for something, you tend to take care of it. When something is handed to you and you believe you are entitled to it, then you often don't take care of it.

Hmmm, giving a house to street trash that only wants to get high? What moron thought this program up? There homeless for a reason, stupid is as stupid does. Leave them to pay the price for what they have done. Don't jail them either, just means my tax dollars are going to feed there lazy asses!

Only democrats would give other democrats something for free and think its a GOOD IDEA! The only reason liberals live in this country is because their is nothing left in the other countrys where they have stripped it to nothing. We are the last golden egg to destroy.

how sad that they didn't realize the gift they had been given.

I recently have some time on my hands, maybe I should move in with them for a while and film the Jackson Artist rendition of "Real World". Any backers?

Hey tea partiers at 1:55 and 2:13. Why don't y'all learn the difference between "there" and "they're" or maybe what the plural for "country" is before you start talking about how democrats are dumb. Pot calling the kettle black?

You ever hear that schtick Rush Limbaugh did in the 1990's about how the notion of a "homeless problem" was just an effort to convert personal failures and/or mental illness into an issue of economic redistribution? The gist of it was: "Well, if they're HOMELESS, that means we just need do give them HOMES, and everything will be fine."

It takes some effort to make Limbaugh look smart, but this administration is more than up to the task.

Hey 4:37. Eat a root! Even a man who has never entered a schoolhouse door knows programs like this serve no purpose beneficial to the community.

But, folks like you, William Winter and Jimmy Carter are already thinking of ways to provide them with another residence to destroy. After all, it's the larger community that caused them to fail in the first place.

William Winter was a segregationist.

5:55. "Even a man who has never entered through a school house door knows..."

And that's the problem with the tea party, dumbing down its philosophy to cater to the lowest common denominator.

By the way, you know nothing about my political beliefs, other than I'm obviously not in the tea party. Tell me to "eat a root" if you want, whatever that means, but I have some advice for you as well - grow up.

Oh, and I would love to know some specifics on what William Winter has done that was so distasteful. I look forward to an interesting response from you.

Well I certainly welcome the opportunity to be "educated" by you if you would please answer my earlier question, 9:42.

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.
