Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. District 2 Supervisor Darrell McQuirter kept his position as Hinds County Board of Supervisors President with the support of supervisors Robert Graham and Bobcat McGowan. Supervisor Peggy Hobson-Calhoun was left out in the cold as the new junta booted her from the Vice-President position and awarded it to none other than Robert Graham.
The board adopted the policy of rotating the presidency among the supervisors at the January 6, 2014 board meeting. Everyone was supposed to get a trophy but apparently such fairness was rejected by the new gang of three. The video is posted below. The board voted in January 2014 to rotate the presidency every nine months but changed it to twelve months a year ago.
Board voted in November 2013 to study rotating presidency. Then voted in January to adopt the policy.

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.

They ain't got nuthin' on Madison County!
McQuirter is a good guy. Never thought I would see him support Graham for anything.
McQuirter was a good guy - wondering about him lately, though. Appears that he has gone to the dark side now. Hate it for the county, he had all kinds of potential and the BOS was actually functioning like a government should. Guess we ought to start watching for more Airwaves type contracts now.
Agree, all the fun happens on the Madison BOS. Kind of explains how Jackson got so messed up before they handed it over to the democrats. Elect, pillage, move up the road, repeat.
Graham needed the "vote of confidence" from the board to support his mayoral run. I suppose he and McQuirter swapped support for each other and McGowan just went along. This alliance will last all of a week until Graham needs another favor.
McQuirter better not miss a meeting or we'll see Graham swinging the gavel again. Woe unto Hinds County when that happens.
What is going on in Madison county?
@8:33
You're completely right. He has gone over to the dark side. The good pastor hasn't been so good of late...
McQuirter IS a good guy, not was. But he is getting suckered by several hucksters.
Eventually, even some good men will begin to side with the hucksters. It's the carnival atmosphere where Everybody wants to be the main attraction. And the money is good on the 'dark side' too. An honest politician's only income is his salary.
The demise of Robert Graham has been greatly exaggerated.
8:53 - I personally think that McQuirter is good at heart. But he has left his 'heart' at home when he acts in the Supervisor's chamber. Instead of trying to make the changes needed in governing Hinds County - which he did for the first few years of his service, he has now moved to the side where his political future and possibly (with his association with Graham) his financial future are his main concern.
Its too bad - hate to see a good man go bad, but it is not an unusual move by elected officials that turn into politicians.
Can we arrange a lighted sabre contest between MadCo's David Bishop and Hinds' Robert Graham. I'd pay extra if they wear Sumo costume.
You mean soon-to-be Mayor Graham
I think the mud slinging of last year's election got to Darrell McQuirter. Maybe easier to just join 'em going forward. Wasn't Graham the one behind all of the malicious radio and mail ads that went after Calhoun and McQuirter?
Little Chucky will be the new mayor
McQuirter is a scumbag. A scumbag who carries water for the the establishment. Charles Evers said preachers have no place in elected office, and he was right. McQuirter is no exception.
Did they pave roads or not? It ain't that hard. That's all they are supposed to do.
McQuirter is a good man that is in over his head. Can't ride the fence. Do good for the people or do good for self. There is no middle ground. He learned the hard way and got in with the wrong folks. Same folks that will throw him out in the next election.
Bennie Thompson is asking everyone to support John Horhn..
Peggy should not be on the board of supervisors.. She has the worst district in Hinds County..
Bennie Thompson asking for people to support someone should be warning enough.
Bennie Thompson also wanted everybody to get behind Espy. Look what happened there.
