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.

george bush airport? probably has connections to spirit airlines AND frontier....
southwest flies out of hobby--hes not getting them back...
Seems like they could have done worse.
How long before the SOS or AG bring this to an abrupt halt due to open meeting violations? Ethics commission anyone?
Let's see. What is wrong with this picture? Barely 28 months ago Carl Newman is named the GM of Bush Intercontinental in Houston. Now, a short time later, Newman signs on to move down to Jackson, MS? Mighty odd career move.
The reasons for his sudden flight from Houston may be as significant and the reason for his hiring here. At least his skin color is the correct one.
My only hope is that he'll calm the rude jack-booted thugs AKA Airport Police.
2:06, the Secretary of State and AG have nothing to do with enforcing the open meetings act. The Ethics Commissions reviews violations of the open meetings act, but you'd be hard-pressed to find any violations regarding the deliberations of the hiring process. I'm sure you will see an official vote to hire in an upcoming public meeting.
I'll confirm the obvious for the oppressed white male crowd: He's black!
He has experience running a much larger airport and is pretty high up in the American Association Airport Executives, which means he should have extensive industry connections. Sounds like a solid pick.
3:16 - Chris Epps was President (more than 'pretty high up') of both the national associations related to Corrections, and reelected as such. Results there wouldn't let your 'assumption' hold up.
Not saying that this is a good hire or bad - just want more analysis than this.
Does he think he is at the Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport?

I agree - that is a MASSIVE airport - why would he leave to come to this tiny place?
Doesn't seem like too bad of a pick. Assuming this guy is the same one suggested by the headhunting firm.
Have seen this sort of jump before. Wouldn't be surprised to learn that Newman was about to get pushed out of his job in Houston.
2:33 PM and 4:00 PM are right. IAH is a Top 10, Top 15 airport. This hire doesn't pass the smell test.
He hasn't assumed the job yet. I'm sure they will have a board meeting and vote out in the open before he does.
He was a finalist for other jobs, including NOLA. I think this is a guy who like a long-time assistant coach, wants to be the CEO of an airport.
What bothers me is that he is only a few years away from retirement.

3:51. Right! He will land here and say- hey what's this place? A connection from IAH to ATL. I was named director of this place?
Do blacks ever hire whites? Just curious.

Jay Hopson at Alcorn State says Hi
If he was any damn good, Jackson would not have hired him! They only hire people that take them farther down the tubes with the rest of the "hell hole"!!!! Next step will be to close the airport - Might as well do it now!!!!
2:40 PM you are correct about our airport "police". As I walked from the airport to the parking lot last night the hollering and jiving of the many "guards" drowned out the airplane traffic. Totally unprofessional.
Jay Hopson at Alcorn State says Hi
December 11, 2014 at 8:46 PM
Funny!
Judging only from his resume', doesn't it appear that Jackson International is a step in the wrong step of professional laddering?
