State Senator going to Court of Appeals

Governor Phil Bryant issued the following statement.


Gov. Phil Bryant announced today that he has appointed Sen. Sean J. Tindell to the Mississippi Court of Appeals.

Tindell’s appointment is effective Nov. 2. He replaces David Ishee, who Gov. Bryant appointed to the Mississippi Supreme Court in September.

“Senator Tindell’s experience as a prosecutor and his work in private practice make him the perfect fit to serve on the Court of Appeals,” Gov. Bryant said. “I am pleased he has agreed to accept this appointment.”

Tindell, 43, has represented District 49, which includes parts of Harrison County, in the Mississippi State Senate since 2012. He serves as chairman of the Senate Judiciary, Division A Committee and vice chairman of the Senate Tourism Committee. From 2002 to 2007, Tindell was an assistant district attorney for Harrison, Hancock and Stone counties. In 2007, he entered private practice, also serving as a prosecutor for the city of Biloxi and as city attorney for the city of Diamondhead.

“I have taken great pride as a senator in working with Governor Bryant, Lieutenant Governor Reeves, Speaker Gunn, other legislators and state leaders to enact legislation that improves the lives of all Mississippians,” Tindell said. “It is with great excitement, humility and enthusiasm that I accept Governor Bryant's appointment to the Mississippi Court of Appeals. Rest assured, I will continue to work tirelessly to see that the rights of all Mississippians are protected, our Constitution is adhered to and justice prevails.”

Tindell graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1996, receiving a bachelor’s in business administration. That same year, he participated in a study abroad program with an emphasis in finance at the London School of Economics.

In 1998, Tindell earned a master’s in business administration from USM. He received a juris doctorate from Mississippi College School of Law in 2001. There, he served as student body president and earned honors of American jurisprudence in counseling & negotiations and domestic relations.

Tindell is the son of Tom and Dora Harvey of Biloxi, and the late Sidney Tindell of Biloxi.

He was born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Tindell and his wife Claire live in Gulfport with their four children, Sam, John Thomas, Meredith and Henry.

Sean is a great selection!

Don't these these types of appointments usually have an ancillary motive or two? Sometimes the appointing authority wants the person 'out of the way'. Sometimes the appointing authority knows he can get this person replaced in his prior job with someone equally as pleasing or perhaps even more pleasing to the authority. But, you can bet it's all been run out to its logical conclusion nine ways from Sunday.

At least he's not from the corrupt Oxford Plantation that oversees all of us slaves.

Sean was a thoughtful and well-respected Senator. I expect him to be the same kind of jurist. What a great choice.

The prospective appointee has the option of refusing the appoint if he/she feels this way.

Yeah, right, 4:43. Let us know the name of the last person in this state who refused such an appointment to a plumb job. Take your time. If memory serves, Haley was an expert of sliding people out of the way.

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.
