We have got a few days to go until the first round of 2015 elections. Thrill of victory, agony of defeat, and all that jazz. There is no two ways around it but political coverage is going to dominate the news for the next week. That means you will be bombarded with ads. It can get irritating but the ads are there for a reason.
Each ad on this website is a compliment to you, the reader. Its fun and quite easy to bash candidates. However, there is a flip side to the equation. These are the guys who decided to stand for something, to stand up and say "This is who I am and this is what I am about". There are not many people who are willing to do that. They are the ones knocking on your doors when its 95 degrees outside in July. They have to ask for money, go to every social event, take part in the normal mud-slinging that come with campaigns, have everyone and anyone go through their personal lives, see their personalities dissected on Facebook and Twitter, we won't even go there. They deserve respect for what they are doing regardless of whether they are right or wrong.
The ads on this site are user-friendly. There are no pop-up videos that can't be disabled. Many of the ads you don't see unless you click on a post. You don't have to listen to a commercial and wait for your radio show to start. You have the choice to play the commercial... or not play it. However, I encourage you to watch the commercials posted, read the material candidates pay to post on JJ, and give them your serious thought and consideration. As stated earlier, all of these ads are a testament and compliment to you. Remember, they have come here asking you for your vote.

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?

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.

Ads are one thing. And they're part of running a blog, I suppose. However, there is no reason to have an ad right in the middle of a lead-in post when they have no relationship to each other. That's not only annoying, it's a cheap trick to force the reader to see the ad. You've already been paid to run the damned thing, why further annoy the reader by the ads' placement?
Can you say whether or not Rudy Warnock, or his minions, paid you to run the John Howland ad on this blog site?
All ads are paid for by candidates or campaigns. Any other info, go get a subpoena.
"You've already been paid to run the damned thing, why further annoy the reader by the ads' placement?"
If it offends you so much just ask the blog proprietor for your money back. Yeeeshhhhhhh
Kingfish, appreciate your clearing comments like @ 9:35 as it is obvious that person has no idea how stupid they sound.
KF, since you brought up the discussion, can you provide numbers, or stats regarding readership to JJ?
Since many of your readers lives in mobile homes, I might want to advertise my septic tank business.
The very best ad Stacey Pickering could place would be his last 4 years income tax returns for all to view. Why has he been so silent. Maybe he is already in plea negotiations with his federal friends. He should be pleading with the voters instead.
I enjoy JJ. It's a rich combination. I enjoy capitalism and free speech as well. Capitalism requires marketing. Free speech can be damnably irritating. But in the name of Lee Greenwood, I'm proud that JJ can make a little money from ads, and especially during the election cycle. Come on, folks, let's stand up for the USA.
Pickering is trying to play out the clock. If he has to pull out after the primary then he puts the party insiders into the driver's seat to select a nominee. The establishment of the MSGOP is corrupt to its core.
If Kingfish owns and runs the blog then he has the right to run it the way he sees fit and it's none of our business. As 11:01 mentioned, you could contact the JJ accounts dept and ask for your money back.
Kingfish, I hope you will be able to have a nice vacation in a couple weeks from your ad sales. Perhaps rent an RV and go to Disney World! I hear Fort Wilderness is nice in the fall!
12:23 - surely the GOP can't replace Pickering if he has to pull out because of wrongdoing? I thought political parties could only do that if their candidate dies.
Why the hell would Pickering have to step down?
The FBI is not investigating him. Anyone with any basic knowledge of federal law probably chuckled when they read that clarion ledger headline. The FBI would only be involved if he was messing with federal monies. His campaign funds are not public funds.
If, and this is a big if here, he is guilty of anything it would be an IRS issue, not an FBI one. And the value of the used car and very used RV, even if you assume he used 100% for personal use- over the course of several years would only increase his personal tax liability by a minimal amount. He has documentation showing campaign use of the car and the RV so we know that they were used at least partially for campaign purposes which would reduce any potential tax liability even further. I would be very surprised if the IRS even wasted their time on this.
All this FBI talk is, is a last minute tactic by someone desperate who wants to use buzzwords like "FBI" and "no bid contracts" to make the general electorate think something is "corrupt."
We are smarter than this. At least I hope we are.
"We are smarter than this."
Well, we're smarter than you, anyway.
28 U.S.C. 533 gives the FBI authority to investigate all federal crime not assigned exclusively to another federal agency. No where is the IRS given exclusive jurisdiction over tax evasion.
The suggestion makes sense. Why place these stupid ads in the middle of a discussion, forcing readers to endure them? It takes a real genius to spend his valuable time stating that Kingfish owns the blog. It's also quite comical to watch Kingfish wiggle and waffle and throw little tantrums any time a suggestion is made, his motives are questioned or his poor grammar is pointed out. Not to mention his 'playing lawyer'.
Otherwise..........wait! Someone, in a post, just called the Hinds D.A. a drug addict. That would usually run counter to Kingfish's sense of fair play and fear of a libel suit. What happened that let this slip by?
Well what the hell are ya doing here Blanch if ya don't like it and just wanna bitch?
@1:34- if the FBI is seriously spending time investigating a low level politician for "evading" hundreds of dollars of federal income taxes, then we should all be concerned for our country.
I'm easily amused by Kingfish posting as anonymous so often.
4:25...That you Kingfish?
4:46, what's the monetary threshold for the FBI to investigate credible evidence of a federal crime?
We should be concerned that our auditor is living out of his campaign account without disclosure.
If the suspicion about Pickering is true, why blame another candidate for talking about it.
If the suspicion about Pickering is not true, why blame another candidate for talking about it.
Bc the other candidate is the one who is responsible for creating the suspicion.
10:20, are you serious? The one who is responsible is the one who was spending campaign donations on personal living expenses. What kind of warped view of the world do you have?
