Jackson City Councilman DeKeither Stamps attacked Hinds County Election Commissioner Connie Cochran last week during a meeting of the city council. The race card was played and Stokes could not resist jumping in to help his colleague play it. The Hinds County Election Commission is changing some precincts. Some precincts do not comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Some of the polling places have notified the county that they do not want to continue to be used for elections. Then there are the fire stations. The Election Commission has been trying to move polling places away from the fire stations because there is no air-conditioning, no heat, and little parking. A miserable experience for everyone concerned. Doesn't matter. It was the 1960's all over again at the Jackson City Council. Watch for yourself:
Mrs. Cochran is scheduled to address this matter with the Hinds County Board of Supervisors Monday morning. Keep in mind that any changes have to be approved by the Election Commission and the Board of Supervisors. For the race-baiters, that means two white votes and eight black votes.
Its also funny how Stamps says the Jackson's wards are "gerrymandered". Does that mean he is criticizing Derrick Johnson and Larita Stokes because they are the main reason the wards are "gerrymandered". Monday should be fun.

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.

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.

Ironic that Stamps begins his remarks by asking attendees not to leave because "the show not over wit yet".
Stamps doesn't get it. The precincts aren't changing, the precinct polling locations are changing. Not the first time it has happened and won't be the last. Too bad he's so out-of-touch to understand the difference.
with all the problems they have to deal with, Stamps is going to waste 8 minutes on another topic he doesn't understand. Bravo
"We waste money on all kinds of stuff" so why not keep wasting money on unneeded precincts? I'll tell you why, the party pays people to sit at each table and check in voters. Some of these precincts only see 40 voters all day long. Consolidating precincts means losing the ability to cut checks to friends to "work" the polls. Forget about saving money, that's been lost in the discussion.
And by the way, how do you nail down a precinct location forever?
We have to be for what we're for and agin what we're agin. Couldn't say it better myself.
More outstanding execution by the administration of Mayor Phony Yarber.
Bill uniformity latest water woe
I really really wish that the State or Federal Govt. would take over the city of Jactown!
Nothing worse than someone who is ignorant and full of confidence.
People running for office in Jackson won't be satisfied until their 'base' can vote at ice cream trucks with the candidates name blasted from loud speakers going up and down the city streets. Handing out chicken boxes. But only after the vote is recorded. Twice.
They had all year. Why make the changes this close to an election? Not earlier in the year, not before primaries, but one month before a general election. There will be some confused people who will not know where to go. Makes sense to combine precincts to save money but not this way.
With primary and general elections in Mississippi EVERY YEAR when would be a better time 10:39 AM?
They're not making precinct changes before the general election. Anybody with a brain that can read election laws knows that. Somebody needs to explain it to DA-keither and the rest of the numbskulls.
At about 1:27 on the video, he says: "so the City and County can get ON one Accord"? Would that be the vehicle that was at Maywood Mart? I'm confused.....
Stamps just proved that he is as ignorant as Stokes - and that's quite an accomplishment. I hope the county is merging precincts; Hinds Co has 119 precincts now and should have more like 50. That's in the city and in the county. In the 'white' neighborhoods and in the 'black' ones that according to Stamps, are in his ward. There is no reason to keep the precincts like they were decades ago when we didn't have the technology that is used today for voting.
But - if Stamps and the rest of the circus that calls its self the governing body of our fine city - want to keep the 90 precincts in the city, THEY CAN. What the county does with its precincts is not controlling on the city elections. To each their own. While it would make good sense for the city to reduce their 90 precincts to 35 or 40, no reason to believe that this bastion of intelligence would do something that makes sense. But thankfully we now have some real leadership on the Board of Supervisors and they actually may do something to make the elections run better and without wasting so many taxpayer dollars.
