Shouldn't we just save this money? I mean same Governor, really no surprises or reasons to celebrate. I'm glad he won, but seriously there was no competition. The conservative thing to do would be a small swearing in ceremony and maybe a privately funded banquet. Everyone is cutting back. Here is a chance to lead by example.

I completely agree. A no-frills swearing in and a small reception paid for by supporters would be more than adequate. Phil, put the money where your mouth/policies are: no tax money for a celebration.

Is butler snow sponsoring this ?

I agree with 12:41 and 2:01. This is a waste of time and someone's money. But no one cares.

I bet they will have real police cars and everything. I'm so proud to have Feel as our governor. He is truly innovative.

Black tie and boots optional. Just like Guvnah Feel.

well this is a colossal waste of time and money. He is already governor. Stupid, arrogant, conceited, self centered career politicians

Gooooleee!

You think they'll have a parade with real police cars?

Thik they will turn the police car lights and sirens on?

That would be redneck orgazmic!

LMAO as the domain for Feel's inauguration lovefest is privately registered. They'll do everything possible to hide the feathering of the Frontier nest.

If that truck driver the Democrats fielded would have won, I wonder what their shin dig would have been like?

I'm thinking a Benny Thompson Bolton Fish Fry type of affair ?

That truck driver is driving the Gov'ners float in the parade.

Tix only $50. Guess I'll put on the overalls and go. Packing, of course.

Spare No Expense said...

I attended one of Haley's inaugural events. The coliseum was filled. Larry Gatlin and brothers played and sang. It was a grande ole tyme reminiscent of a Kappa Alpha Ball. I still have the cups, shot glasses, napkins, fountain pens, etc. They spared no expense. The only thing missing was Ernest T. Bass suddenly appearing on stage throwing rocks.

I agree with the previous comments about being fiscally conservative. I really don't care where the $ comes from, this is a TOTAL waste of it. Fiscally conservative republicans are only fiscally conservative when it benefits them. Of course, skipping an event that boasts them wouldn't even cross their minds. Do the right thing Gubner Feel-send a press release telling the voters you are going to forgo the wasted event and instead donate the money to the state budget (what a novel idea) OR a charity (an even better idea). Also, now is the time to announce the session will be shortened from 4 months to 2. All the "business" can easily be accomplished in 2 months (really 1 month if you want to practice what you preach & be responsible with tax payer dollars). Why won't he do this? Answer is simple-his legislator buddies get paid by the number of days they're in session. Going back to my original comment-it's good to be fiscally conservative UNLESS that impacts the fiscally conservative republicans. The insanity here-we keep electing the same mess. Good job, Mississippi! Near last in education, near the top in teen pregnancies, etc, etc...

NEVER FORGET said...

@6:33 AM: ... near the top in teen pregnancies, etc, etc...

Look Who Voted To Protect Child Rapists

Most of the Black Caucus voted against HB #151. HB #151 is a step forward in the fight against child rape. Not statutory rape. Child rape.
....

Senate: Kelvin Butler, Frazier, Horhn, Jackson of 11th, Jackson of 32nd, Kennie Wayne "Hollywood" Jones, David Jordan, Sollie Norwood, Derrick Simmons, Willie Simmons

Haley's were lots of fun. Phil will probably have someone like Marty Stuart play who he thinks is famous or his brothers band. It's always a disappointment and second rate.

Strike Up The Band said...

Please pay attention, 9:00 a.m. Marty Stuart IS famous. You might prefer the combo players at Shuckers though.

Not the Grinch said...

I hope that everybody here that thinks Feel should forgo his party and save the money do the same thing with any upcoming Christmas parties, football or bowl parties, and of course, their New Year's Eve festivities.

This is a party - and it aint being paid for with your tax dollars. I don't plan to go, but for anybody that wants to pony up their $50 and put on a tux, I hope they have a great time.

All you bitchers here - let us know what charity you sent your holiday party savings to once the checks are written, you hear?

These events are not paid for with tax dollars. Everyone wants something to cry and moan about. Sorry, this ain't it.

Don't forget to wear your boots with your tux just like Feel. He's one of us you know. Used to be a deputy before he became a pubic servant.

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.

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.
