Vote Jake Windham today for Mayor of Pearl

Light turnout in Jackson. Runoff will be even worse. Fate of the city in the hands of a few.

I'm sorry but there is not even a lesser evil to vote for in the Jackson mayoral race.

Anna Wolfe gets paid by the hour I hope.

I'll take Patton Ford, please.

Hohrn can get the job done. Lumumba is a scary Marxist Black Nationalist

1019, anybody is a lesser evil than Lumumba Jr. If you can't see that read his cooperative, 'incubator' economic plan. A true, inapologetic socialist. Either Hohrn or Graham would be betterminated -a lesser evil. Crudup would actually be good if you are looking for something better than lesser evil. But MS doesn't need to bring in the concept of Jr and his Malcomn X so c ualism.

Jake for Pearl Mayor

Heard alot of old Hinds County Tyrone rejects ran to Pearl thanks to Picou getting them on..
They'll all be unemployed soon.

The Chief of Pearl hates Picou and his rag tag dummies..hahaha

The only thing Horn has ever done is party and Graham is a straight-up crook.

Amazing how incumbent is so quickly dismissed. Although, not surprised in Yarbers case. He lost me and nearly all of his supporters when he said we need to pray away potholes. That alone did him in, but then the contract steering, ego, narcissism, antagonistic behavior with babysitters (1% commission), infidelity, etc....he had no chance. He says he wish he would've had a mentor to help him. Yarber is not the type to take advice from anyone. His mentor would be a hot 30-year female who nodded and did what he said. He is the WORST MAYOR EVER.

The winner will be Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Jr, Esq., III, DDS.

Just love all those titles hanging of the end of his name there. They make him look so classy and rich!

Picou will be the next Chief if brad gets re-elected...terrible for Pearl

Yarber lost me with the personal indiscretions.

Not saying you have to be a saint or should be a saint.

But it tells me you can't stay on task and are unfocused when your personal life comes to the forefront.

It'll probably be between Graham and Lumumba

The suburbanites won't like to see Lumumba coming, so that's why I just may end up voting for him. ;-)

Let's go!! Lumumba for mayor of Pearl!!

12:02, word on the street, Brad's making Dean Scott his Chief..lmao..
Even worse than Picou..How do these agencies keep hiring these dummies.

I know the big news is the Jackson mayoral race, but I live in Byram, and neither Byram mayoral candidate is worth voting for either

That is called cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.

"F**k you, people who live outside Jackson! I'm voting to elect a socialist puppet of the race-hustling industry to govern me and my family!! That'll show you!"

Good luck with that strategy, genius. I hope you're still enjoying that petty bit of rebellion in two years when there's sewage running through your den and your mayor is refusing to fix it because the contractor is not 85% minority owned.

This still rings true today.

Lumumba win means my property value goes up.

Midtown and Down said...

The Millsapians conducting the exit polling from the bar within Inez's are still forecasting a Lumumba landslide albeit a bit miffed that they can't enjoy a cold beer with the cheese fries on this election day.

@ 12:28pm and 12:35pm

You bigots of Madison and Rankin County's would find something to complain or cheer about regardless of which black fella is elected.

At least the people of Jackson are cutting their losses with Yarber and willing to put someone else in the office to see if they can stay on the short and narrow. They are using their vote to let politicians know - YOU CAN BE REPLACED.

Anonymous said...

12:15 Byram = south Jackson which is why nobody cares.

Reliable sources said...

Unhappy with the choices on the ballot, many are writing in Jackie Thompson to be the Duke of Pearl in hopes of bringing back a kinder gentler Gold Coast.

Mary Hawkins Butler "a socialist puppet of the race-hustling industry" you think Madison is populated by people that love other races? Name 1 conservative thing MHB has done. She maybe conservative in National Politics but Madison is run like a dictatorship.

Anonymous said...

Unproven Sexual indiscretions? That is a reason to not vote for Yarber? You will think "indiscretons" with some of these others. Graham? Has anyone bothered to remember Motorola and the tower contracts? Horhn? He is suited to exactly where he is, not City Hall. Mayor is a 15 hr./day job with no happy hour. Lumumba? Social Democrat or something worse; follower of Malcom X. Experiment with Jackson to see if MXMG methods work. Not a one of these men are capable of running a city. There is more to it than vision and dreams. Like keeping employees who have some idea of what their jobs are. When the City totally fails, blame the electorate who have no idea who and what these candidates are.

To the ones posting negative of Picou what is wrong with him. I have worked with and for him and never saw anything wrong.

Wait, something to complain or cheer about? Well, yeah. If a good candidate wins I'll cheer and if a bad one wins I'll complain. Isn't that like saying, "no matter what happens, you'll find a reason to be happy or to be sad"?

If either Graham or Horhn wins, I will be THRILLED! I think either one could do good things for the city.

If Crudup wins, I'll be ambivalent. I have no idea how he'll do.

If Yarber gets re-elected, I'll be disappointed and for good reason.

If the Right Rev. Dr. Atty. Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Esq. Jr. III wins, I will be very unhappy because I want Jackson to succeed and I know that anyone who was raised by a virulent racist and is supported by socialist radicals is going to torch what's left of this town.

Patton Ford is a fine young man, but he should start out running for Alderman. He is only 27-28 years old and Ridgeland has a $50 million budget. Local government is complex and experience is needed. Patton, run for Alderman or get appointed to the Zoning Board and spend some time learning.

Anonymous said...

Patton Ford? Is he Jill Ford's son?

Anonymous said...

@ 2:04 -- you're right on point. None of these clowns should be running a city. We need someone who is competent, proficient, efficient, and SMART. None of them fit the bill, and least of all is Yarber. That dude is a flat out NARCICIST. He actually posts videos of himself lifting weights on Instagram. Who does that??? I'll tell you who...someone who thinks the world revolves around them. The job got to his head, and he needs replacing ASAP.

Did Chokwe win yet? It's almost 8. I figured it'd be over by now.

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.

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.
