Jackson Jambalaya

I am sure these people mean well but geez...why not zip the lips if you don't have anything meaningful to say.

Poor Stamps is feeling left out.

he looks constipated

Looking constipated is a council member job requirement.

He stated Phil Bryant won Jackson. Is that true? DuPree won Hinds County.
Bryant: 24092 34.45%
DuPree: 45851 65.55% 69943

Meanwhile, today on 1120 a.m., the one and only Ben Allen returns to stutter up the airwaves. He talks about downtown development and a bar proposed to open a year from now. He also made a statement that I found hard to believe he actually said, "I am amazed at the number of fine restaurants we have".

He's still trumpeting Humpty Dumpty's horn. I guess he and Kingfish slobber over the same microphone on back to back days.

Yeah, when I heard that 6:27 PM I realized he was just winging it. He said that Bryant beat Dupree inside Jackson. That simply did not happen.

He seems reasonable in the video but it is hard reconcile that person and the Councilman who was clueless when it came to the unforeseen problems on Fortification.

As a poster above sort of alludes, can't help but wonder if he thinks, in hindsight, that he should have run for Mayor if, for nothing else, the visibility and limelight.

Ummm. 6:29. It is 1180 and duh. Jackson does have an unusually large number of great restaurants, especially for a town it's size. Your point?

6:29 what day are you on?

7:12 is right about the number of great restaurants for a town this size.

1120 AM is the station run by the blind man who makes enough playing syndicated religious programming each morning that it allows him to play bluegrass every afternoon until they go off the air at sundown, when a St. Louis station at the same frequency starts coming in down here.

LOL, no one refutes that Ben Allen stutters up the airwaves.

7:47 what station asked you to be on. What time and where?

7:47. Waiting waiting waiting.

Go first 8:00 PM. Where can we find you?

7:47 Ben's show is great. I have listened to both. Next week is a program an the "Lakes Project". Why don't you call Ben at 353 9800 and ask him if you can join him?? He is a nice guy, in case you refuse to notice, and I am sure he would love to have you join him.

WJNT Producer must be a wee bit wet behind the ears.

Did you call him 9:38? Or did you just get your personal rush behind you?

Whoaaa. The Ben Allen chorus chimes in. Sorry for the 1120-1180 mistake, although wholly irrelevant to the conversation. No, Kingfish, I am not on the radio. Just what we need in Thuh-Mettro ~ another irrelevant talk show host.

Anyway, why the hell would any sane person call Ben's show and ask to be put on the air with this nutcase with the potential for his relatives, friends, business associates recognizing his voice?

I like Mr. Stamps. I has a very practical grasp on politics. The fact that he did not get into this special election allows him to have the eagle's eye perspective he demonstrates on city affairs. His political and rhetorical talents will be sought by the next mayor.

Where's that list of Jackson's 'many fine restaurants'? Don't count the Whatta Burger by Shoneys on High Street. I know bout that one.

Don't forget the Waffle House snuggled between the burgers and Shoneys. Lot of fine vittles on that little acre.

And the Kangaroo (not to be confused with the Cap'n) across the street has hot dogs. Homer's BBQ left, so we can't count that one. Homer blamed it on High Street demolition and orange cones.
