On the news last nite he had the obligatory four stars on his shoulders. He said he was going to bring crime to a halt and is 'tired of people talking about the place where I live'.

Be sure to axe the tough questions, like: "How are things going?" "What's your first week been like?" and maybe "Going forward, under the new and improved Jackson paradigm, what is your vision for the city?" Those should be stumpers.

You forgot "ask him how the wife has adjusted" or "what the kids think."

Ask him who killed the mayor?

Ask him the state of the PD. Why is the attrition rate so high and why are they so top heavy. He is in a position to correct mistakes of predecessors. The structure of the PD is inept. Officers have no way to move up. Detectives and patrol are paid on the same pay scale and the only raise after your first year is at 10 years. What are his plans to inject morale into his PD because when you have nothing to achieve for these are the results you get.

Stokes is hot on the trail. Rest easy.

@ 7:59 AM - If you mean profusely sweating after taking a few steps... definitely yes.

Sorry Kingfish but early on in your interview when Vance said he sees no major personnel changes in the leadership ranks I turned the station. That is all I needed to hear to know the status quo at JPD will prevail.

You asked 3 questions. How long is the "show"? (I don't listen to talk radio)
Will there be enough time for him to answer these questions and allow him to ramble on and on as he does so well?

It's Who kilt da mayah?

7:29....You sound disappointed that so many are 'at the top' yet you bemoan the fact that 'there is no way to advance'. Which way will you have it...more people at the top, fewer people at the top or more ways to negotiate the path to the top? Make a choice.

After all, the goal of every black person in a leadership role is to get as many of 'our people' in these jobs as we can and advance them so they can maximize long term benefits of the PERS system.

This is nothing but another example of 'the city employment office' doing what it does.

Vance is obviously a JPD lifer. The culture there is to use Comsat as a punishment tool, a method to shift blame and not address real problems. When a Deputy Chief sees s spike in crime in a certain area he will blame the precinct commander who in turn blames the shift supervisor who blames the beat officer. The beat officer gets told one day to ride his beat and be visible to deter crime. The next day he's told he's not making enough arrests or writing enough tickets, that he's just lazy.

Instead Comsat was designed to inform administration of crime patterns so that resources can be assigned to combat the problem. A tool to foster teamwork.

JPD is only able to arrest offenders it's up to Hinds County to keep them locked up. With the condition of the jail and court system in Hinds County,Jackson is unable to keep thugs off of the street for very long. The condition the Hinds county jail and courts are in is a direct reflection of the. Hinds county supervisors.

Having said that, if the new chief wants to do something it has to be something different, different from all of the others that have come before. Let go of the idea that since they are the capital city that they don't need or wouldn't benefit from the help of other law enforcement agencies in the metro area. Work hard to change the culture of passing the buck of responsibility to the next person, finding someone else to blame for the problem.

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.
