Jackson Mayor Tony Yarber announced last week that he will run for re-election. He won office in 2014 after Mayor Chokwe Lumumba unexpectedly died. The video is posted below. Oddly enough, it was not reported in the media but for WAPT (unless the search engine gods have fallen).

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.
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.

He's done
Why waste the money? I forgot, its other people's money he's wasting. He is good at that.
The project managers to whom he funneled hundreds of thousands are backing his bid.
Yarber or the Kush movement. Well, crap.
Don't be count out graham. Horne is only running as an excuse to raise more campaign funds, which he will pocket. Same as Yarber this time around.
YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!
Great....we are all screwed ....again
Ain't no shame in Tony's game! These idiots are off the chain.
Where is the Bow Tie? He is already capitulating to the center and away from the Malcolm X types.
Don't think Graham can get there but he's also holding some cards Antar doesn't want played.
Is that one white person hidden in the back?
Actually, It's a good speech--content and delivery--and he spells out the case for another term. The optics are bad--the only folks there are family and department heads. Does he have any friends? I didn't see them in the video.
John horhn and yarber staff and supporters are the same people.
Kane ditto
Socrates
Credell Calhoun and the rest of the contract snatchrts..
When I listen to this speech I think of a fourth or fifth grader struggling to read and use correct grammar. This speech was nothing but BS. For some reason I believe he was spinning most facts. I found it strange that he was comparing the USA being divided to that of Jackson. I would say that Jackson is not divided, it is probably 90% controlled by the same political party as well as race. Another sad commentary is the fact that he could not boast of any major manufacturing, business relocation/expansion, or major real estate development occurring under his watch. We have been left in the dust by other sunbelt cities in the last 20 years. This train is moving...haha
Kane Ditto is still alive and engaged in local politics? where's that one-dollar-a-year guy who was going to solve all of Jacktown's ills? I think his name was Speed.
I can't believe anyone would actually listen to his speech. You mean you'd give this crook 5 minutes of your time? What a waste! He's gone anyway. Done. Either he loses or is off to the pokey anyway.
Yes he's horrible but pick a better candidate from the current crop.
Going with Graham, Tony can't keep his junk in his pants. Voted for him last time.
He had his shot, fudged it up!
Give Graham a chance this time.
If Antar was anything like his dad, he would be taken seriously.
The rest of them are just taking up space and hot air.
Crudup is a good choice, but little known.
Yarber is a joke - proven joke. Name your reason, they've all been outlined here: his fixing contracts for his friends and contributors, can't keep it in his pants, can't accomplish anything, can keep on going on.
Graham's reputation precedes him during his time on the county BOS - and his ability to get contracts for his friends and 'contributors'.
Hohrn is a legislator with plenty of legislative experience - doing nothing. Not bad, but not anything to bring to the table. Probably the best of the three (Yarber, Graham and Hohrn) but nothing exciting.
What a wasted opportunity. This is the best job Yarber has ever had or will ever have. All he had to do was surround himself with good people and be a cheerleader for the city. Unfortunately the preacher's true character came through and he totally blew it.
