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.

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.

It is time for the City of Jackson to sue the JRA lawyer for about 20 million which may correct part the mess he has made.
that JRA lawyer is Zach Taylor, a partner in the New Orleans based Jones Walker law firm.
Is that you David or one of your sock puppets?
Zach Taylor has had the JRA by the gonads for years. The JRA is a total fiasco, and has been for years....where oh where are the Alvis Hunt's, Warren Hoods, Leland Speeds of JRA's glorious, but long since, past???
Diversity is a strength, diversity is a strength , diversity is a strength...all together now...
Never mentioned in brief...Harvey Johnson....BLACK. Jason Brookins...BLACK. Tony Gaylor...BLACK. Majority of JRA board and chair....BLACK.
5:56, that just means they may insurance for the poor legal work that Taylor performed. Just let a good court hear it all and it may go from civil to criminal.
@ 5:54
It's great that you've learned to capitalize BLACK, but I just wanted to clarify about the verdict itself. The judge dismissed the racial animus part of the lawsuit. The award was based on JRA and the the City violating the right of a person to do business. That's civil rights, but has nothing to do with race. Just clarifying that there was an actual winning argument here without race. At least, that was my reading of it.
incompetent buffoons all...
6:28. That has nothing to do with the BRIEF. (ALL CAPS)
He wits case revolved around boo hoo I am black. Agreed the verdict didn't but read the effing brief. RACE RACE RACE.
Do the White folks on JRA have to pay this money?
It's not black/white. It's politics. Most politicians I know are sociopaths (on their best days).
JRA settled before trial.
8:05, then why go to trial? Soon the City of Jackson will not be able to pay the light bill and will go totally dark.
It went to trial. Jury award.
Should have said JRA settled at trial. Verdict against the bold new city.
The last few hundred people with any money that are let in Jackson will really get stuck with some large bills to pay. It is going to get much much worse.
@ 8:59 Was that intended to be a pun?
In the last month it appears the JRA board is trying remove its past problem people who have put the authority into this mess. Replacing Zack Taylor as authority attorney and Ronnie Crudup as chair of the board is probably removing the crux of the board's problems. However, Crudup is still sitting on the board and probably will be an impediment to the JRA moving forward. His term expired in 2011 and Mayor Yarber needs to appoint someone to replace him. From this judgment and the whole Farish Street debacle, it is obvious that for the good of the people of Jackson Crudup must go!!!
anybody know the terms of the JRA settlement? those guys think they're gods. if zach taylor has been fired then why is he still meeting the JRA board in executive session? how can they be so stupid?
when is the city council going to confirm the mayor's appointments to the jra? is little melvin going to be allowed to vote? after all his sweet auntie is one the jra lawyers, along with zach taylor. they tell me she's just as bad as he is.
The Zach Taylor harpy is everywhere. The harpy is spouting almost verbatim what Ben Allen is saying around town. Hmmm.
Bishop Crudup, JRA and the new city administration have been very supportive of my efforts to bring developments to downtown Jackson. One of which will be announced in the coming days. I am a Caucasian Male
Msnative1943 is full of shit
