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? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. 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.

Yarber has done an inadequate job before the campaign and during the campaign to fully detail to all taxpaying Jacksonians what an economic basket case Chokwe Sr. had, unfortunately, left behind.
Had he lived Chokwe Sr. was either going to have to make the budget cuts Yarber made or dramatically raise property taxes.
What is unclear is if Chokwe Sr. and company were managing the city finances using Paypal.
I went to the CPA Firm's website---I'm not surprised---not one white person is listed as a partner.
I would not believe a thing the CPA group put in writing---It's like everyone believing IMS is an engineering firm---what a joke.
No hope for Jackson !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is not a real audit and not approved by the State Auditor.
CPA's black or white are guided by ethics and hold license and required to complete PEU's every year.(Professional Education Units for those who don't understand.) Bigoted attitude to slam a firm for being all black. The firms the City used 50 years ago were all white. So what?
So the Furloughs END in OCTOBER. Know some employees are glad; others were enjoying their day off. Maybe it should be optional to take one day a month without pay for some who feel the need.
It is good to know our City is on better footing and will continue to be if there is continuity in leadership. Congratulations to the Mayor and to the Finance and Administration Department for a fine job of fiscal responsibility.
They all graduated from college, the head of the Jackson office from MSU and they have passed the CPA exam. Have You?
1:48, go back to work and get off your city issued computer in the Hood building. If you believe that the City is on sound financial footing you had better hope you can hold on to your city job because no one would want your financial ability in the private sector.
Why can the city not fix the water lines that continue to break? Because they aren't collecting the bills or not sending out proper bills from the water sewer department. The W/S fund was flush a couple of years ago and now has a minimum balance - practically zero.
Other than the special sales tax, the city is spending less than a million dollars a year on road, bridge and street maintenance - a ridiculously low sum for a city this size. Zero dollars are spent to deal with the collapsing drainage systems.
And yes, there are furloughs, but there have not been layoffs other than those that don't pony up (or down) at the Mayor's demands.
If the city is in such great financial shape, why is its bond ratings still so low?
Great press release put out the weekend before the election, but even if it were factually based, its too little too late to help this guy. He'll have to go back to preaching (fleecing?) his flock.
1:00PM Seems like you're in need of a New Year hug from Ginger. Try looking for her at the local Tuesday Morning store or River Hills Club.
Yeah, the comment about the CPA firm having only black members is beyond the pale... The CPA licensing exam is notoriously one of the hardest (if not the hardest) professional examinations out there. I've taken two Bar examinations (one in Louisiana) and there's no way I'd want to have to sit for the CPA exam. I know TONS of smart white folks who have failed it multiple times.
I certainly wish our city leadership realized that integration goes both ways (and welcomed more white folks to the table) but attitudes like those stated above hold us all back.
Also, I hate the personal mess Yarber has created with the multiple women, BUT as a lifelong Jackson resident, I still think he's the best, most responsive mayor we've had since Ditto.
There is no doubt that Yarber has an excellent grasp of what has to be done to try and get us back on level ground (and good roads). Others are promising "pie in the sky" visions and have not the vaguest idea of where to start. On the job training starts again in July if that poll posted in JJ is accurate.
2:26 - best since Ditto? Boy, that is faint praise, even if it were based on anything. Harvey the Planner, Frank the pedophile, Chockwe the short-termer. Being better than crap doesn't really improve your standing or justify maintaining someone in any position. And responsive is not the primary function of the Mayor - how about having him put some competent people in charge of the various functions so that real information could be forthcoming; so that money would be properly spent rather than jockeying scoresheets to funnel dollars to those that will funnel them back. Hard to get beyond the personal mess as you call it to realize that there are no actual accomplishments unless you happen to work for IMS, Southern Consultants, AECOM, Mitzi, etc. etc.
Meanwhile both Chris Routh and Davey Watkins took it in the shorts this week!
Better than what Madison can say
City of Jackson couldn't find an audit firm actually located in Jackson???
Not a black owned one, or one that was willing to 'partner; with a black-owned one as required to get a contract from the current administration. Reputable audit firms don't find a need to 'partner' (read - pay off) a black firm in order to meet the ridiculous EBO requirements of the Bold New City. Guess the rule about firms having headquarters in Jackson only applies when it fits the contributor group (i.e. IMS).
1:00 pm is "the whiter shade of pale" version of Stokes or else RT's Jackson agent.
Politics.....it's become an industry in itself. Those in it cannot comprehend the private sector. Jackson has available funds? Next time you get a chance go to the impound yard/city maintenance shop and see the amount of wrecked and destroyed city equipment. It would shock you! No accountability from city employees at all. In the private sector, you wreck a vehicle or damage equipment then if it's your fault you likely won't have a job.
Does Jackson have indoor plumbing and running water again? The wife and I attended a party in Eastover a month or so ago and it looked like a port-a-john convention was in town.....
