Gibbert on voting

Mississippi Secretary of State Dilbert Hosemann issued the following press release:


As we head into the November 4th General Election, it is important for Mississippians to come together and cast a ballot on Election Day. The recent party elections have drawn national attention, and frankly, not often positive for our State. Change begins at the ballot box—not in the press, talk shows, Facebook or twitter—by casting your vote for the candidate of your choice. I ask you to consider the importance of your vote.

As one Circuit Clerk said, we may not have perfect elections, but we have fair elections. On November 4th, I ask you to remember the lives lost fighting for your right to participate in the voting process. Those lives were lost so you could freely debate about candidates and issues. Those lives were lost so you could express your concerns without fear or intimidation. Those lives were not lost for you to disregard your right to vote.

We, as Mississippians, have a civic duty to participate in the electoral process. We have a duty to have our voices heard at the polls and cast a ballot for the candidate of our choice. We, as Americans, now face brutal terrorists striking on American soil. You are electing your national representatives.

The General Election is just days away. Educate yourselves on the candidates and decide who deserves your vote on November 4th.

It is time we move forward as a State. We were the first State in the country in recent years to implement Voter ID without federal intervention and oversight. When naysayers believed the sky would fall and thousands would be disenfranchised at the polls, we, as Mississippians, proved them wrong. It is time to do that again.

Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Secretary of State. I look forward to seeing you at the polls on November 4th

He'll be hard pressed to eat as many double chili cheeseburgers as Reeves can chow down.

Delbert's ego has grown so much since he became SOS. Rumor is that he's rented an apartment in Desoto County courting the tea party idiots! He's been up there so much, he could probably register to vote there. He's been seen around the county with Greg Davis, his Chief of Staff's cousin. Lynn - keep an eye on him!

Pure bullshit. Go look for ways to reduce the square footage of your double chin.

What orates me about him is how he is using the power of his office to send the business owners of Mississippi spam email telling us what a good job he is doing.

If I wanted his spammail, I would have joined his election committee.

I'm afraid that if I complain, he will pull an Obama and sic the IRS on me.

Didn't Chucky Johnson post that Delbert was gambling the night away in a Gulf Coast casino on a night when he was at a wedding in the Delta with dozens/hundreds of witnesses. Th12:06 post seems just as credible as that liar's.

Reminds me 1:07 how then Treasurer Reeves would send our house glowing reports about himself and all the goodness he was doing for MPACT while, as Kingfish has documented, he was sound asleep at the fiscal wheel as the plan was incurring serious losses.

"What orates me about him...."


WTF? "Orate"? As in public speaking, Brutus and Caesar, etc?

Maybe he should email you vocabulary lists.

Try 'correcting misspellings/ grammatical errors on iOS version (whatever) and doing mental gymnastics with autocorrect. After a while, you just tend to give up the fight bc posting on a blog while being grammatically correct- spelling correctly is not worth the headache that may follow.

It's especially fun filling out the captcha's!

Well heard McDaniel is running for SOS next year. Anyone else heard this or can verify it?

Ha. Everyone I know in the SOS agency thinks the guy is a jerk. I guess he'd have fun hiring an entire new staff, if he could pull out a win, which is doubtful.

It's not like Delbert is a towering intellectual.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
