Mooches are like hydras.......

Can't make this up. County cancels a $120,000 contract to cut the grass and perform other minor services at the county radio towers as the Sheriff said his inmates could cut the grass.... for free. Never fear.  A preacher/"contractor" shows up at Hinds County yesterday with his hand out for some gummint money:




In this case, he was trying to get some grass-cuttin' money for the county radio towers.  The Board of Supervisors voted to terminate the contract for tower site maintenance with Airwave at the January 21 meeting.  The county paid Airwave $120,000 per year to cut the grass, check the batteries, and check the gates.  Sheriff Tyrone Lewis said inmates could cut the grass and save the county some money.  The contract was paid with E911 funds.  The E911 fund is projected to run out of money in August. 

Note to pastor: Get a job.  A real job.  One that doesn't require you to mooch off of the rest of us .

Is there a black preacher man anywhere who is NOT a mooch?

Hell, it's the fifth week of seminary.

10:40 don't discriminate! Hell it's white preachers too. Preachers are preachers. Don't understand why preachers think they deserve more than their average member makes.

Has Thalia Mara ever hosted a revival of the musical "Purlie"?

I just cannot fathom the reasoning that Stokes uses for anything he does except for the reasoning of lining his pockets and the pockets of his friends. He just doesn't seem to grasp the fact that he and Graham through contracts with their buddies have already GUTTED ALL the 911 fund. THERE IS NO MONEY STOKES!! STOP TRYING TO ROB THE CITIZENS ANY MORE THAN YOU ALREADY HAVE!!

um, it sounds to me like that dumb "preacher" does not know the difference between "out sourcing" and "in house" work. Just where in the world do these tards come from? And by the way, where in the hell was his day planner?

Was there not something said at this blog about racist comments not being tolerated?

KF is busy with the day job, I hope.

1:23 I think that it is pretty safe to say that all these folks are the friends, associates, kin folks.

If I didn't know any better, I would have to say that Kennuf' put this guy up to it and probably went as far as typing the outline of what was going to be said. How Kennuf' can find people dumb enough to believe in what he says is beyond me.

Stokes did put him on the agenda.

Having grown up quite knowledgeable of and close to at least a hundred black preachers, I have intimate knowledge of their tactics. Chief among them was and is the practice of shaking down politicians for personal 'contributions' for mentioning their candidacy from the pulpit.

I have never know of a white preacher doing that. Perhaps some of you can elaborate if you have knowledge. There is absolutely no telling how many hudreds of thousands of dollars have been palmed by these preachers by this practice. And, YOU know it!

Simply shouting 'racism' every time you're spotlighted does nothing but make a fool out of you.

Does this guy think the towers generate revenue to pay for their upkeep?

This is local news. Let's stick to local examples. Not interested in white house activities. Black preachers in Mississippi have forever been known for shaking down politicians for cash. Every black preacher knows this, every black church member is aware of it, deacons and church leaders condone it and hundreds of white politicians have fallen prey to it. Show us examples of white preachers doing the same or go back to bed.

Has nothing to do with 'racist' or 'racism'. Simply the facts ma'am; just the facts.

@ 1:05.....No different here in Madison County. We have one supervisors daughter in law hired two months prior the wedding and pregnant now in a management position at the road department and another supervisors FUTURE daughter in law hired to work in the chancery court house.....I'll give ya one guess who the two supervisors are. Nepotism in its worst form.

I just hope that the truth will be told in a public meeting that Airwaves was taking the taxpayers money and NOT DOING THE JOB!! They were paid millions over the life of the contract and never had the deciency to do the work. But you can be sure that now that it is assigned to county employees, it will be done and done correctly. But of course those loyal employees will not be compensated for all the added duties that come along with it. They can dish money out on a silver platter to their buddies. Will the State Auditor do any thing about this situation when Hinds defaults on it's payments.He has put all these people in jail for thousands of dollars, how about this situation and the millions that have been unlawfully given out without the government bid process?????? Someone needs to be made to answer for how our 911 fund has been defrauded.

Look closer at your next cell phone bill. It's loaded with special government fees that politicians use as a slush fund. The Legislature set it up that way.

Stokes is no fool. If he gets five or six preachers on the county dole, he ensures the votes of thousands of 'congregants'. It's actually genius. The fat man won't even have to campaign in the summer heat.

Hope he keeps those great hand lettered signs nailed to utility poles. They are the bomb!

Sometimes I let people show how stupid they can be. Don't always think a comment means I agree with it. I might tolerate it for a reason.

Anonymous said...

Is that supposed to suggest that you enjoy the power to disaprove comments with which you don't agree? Is your ego now at a level where you actually expect others to agree with you? Surely you will continue to allow comments other than "Kingfish is the Best", "Thanks for your wisdom and great reporting" and "Without JJ what would we do?"

Are there any white people in Mississippi who aren't racist scumbags in love with slavery? I'm so fortunate not to have to live around such filth anymore.

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.
