There was an attorney named James Walker in Bolivar County some years back. I wonder if this is the one to which its assigned. He would probably be 75 now. But, why the recusal? Everybody knows the identity of the plaintiffs. We didn't need those recusing to tell us of their affiliation with the practice of law.

I clicked nine times on damned street signs.

It appears this is causing a butt hurt. If the neighbors don't like it why not move the light display to Liberty Park where It can handle the traffic. Plus it will be a win win for the stores all around more dollars. Oh wait my comments are stupid at best time to move on.

So, chancellors are going to recuse themselves any time a "plaintiff is a practicing attorney in the Eleventh Chancery District."

Interesting.

Trial judges typically recuse themselves when a party is an attorney who practices in front of that particular judge.

Gotta say that I am thankful none of my neighbors do this. Especially the loud music, and traffic that it creates. My dog would bark nonstop and this is a nuisance. I love holiday displays and decor but this is too much for a subdivision.

This family should put a replica Charlie Brown Christmas tree in their yard and nothing else. Then invite everyone that would normally drive through each year over to see it. The neighborhood lined with hundreds and hundreds of cars full of people to see one lowly Christmas tree.

12:58 - good idea, put the display in Liberty Park and have food trucks, Christmas entertainment, USMC Toys for Tots drop off, etc. This actually could be quite a nice attraction for Madison the City, and would give the neighbors some peace and quiet. Let's see if these attention-deprived folks will agree to something that's good for everybody and not just themselves.

There's still time to pull this together...

Alpha Storm - So you are saying that any individual can take their personal holiday display and set it up at Liberty Park instead of in their own yard? I guess the city is okay with this and will protect it, pay the electric bill on it, and allow everyone in the city to do this per your recommendation? SMH

The city of Gulfport took a local display and moved it to their small craft harbor. Madison should buy them out and put it in Liberty Park.

lawyers ware why Mississippi cannot have nice things. looking at Facebook and the traffic shows it is very popular with many folks. reminds me some of the Copeland display wars when living in New Orleans.

"....the traffic shows it is very popular with many folks."

Exactly, genius. Most everybody will stop and look at a wreck, but nobody wants to be involved in it.

I'd drive to the courthouse to watch a public hanging too....but I don't want it in the front yard next door.

If they move it to Liberty Park the ACLU will sue over separation of church and state and cost Madison Taxpayors a fortune in legal fees....

Why not let Mayor Mary resolve this? They can build a nice brick structure for hanging the lights. And, nice Bose speakers for the music. Then, all the Madison wanna-be-somebody citizens can proudly boast.

Or the ACLU could object to the fact that the city provides traffic control for a so called Christmas event.

I think Mary should appear at the intersection, dressed in an elf costume, and hand out little candy canes. And of course smile really big for the cameras. Howard Ballou would show up, and maybe Shepard Smith. And the Aldermen could all be singing Christmas Carols on Christmas Lane, just across the street - wearing tight, green or red leotards of course.

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentle-Men Let Nothing You Dismaaaaay. We brought you this here ghastly thing and it won't go Awaaaaay."

The show must go on! Never went, but added to the list this season.

Join the Bandwagon, 8:48....everybody wants to see a train wreck. Bring popcorn.

The district an attorney practices is has zip to do with it. Cindy Brewer and Robert Clark dont want to lose votes. Most judges are elected and these two dont want to lose the votes. Presiding over divorces, decadent estates dont lose votes. Writing a court order to take down a private Christmas display could politically ruin them. Lets see what Walker does.

Actually, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube, complete with tacky music. No need to leave the comfort of your own doublewide. Too, watching on the giant screen of the TV in your trailer, you can hit 'stop', if you manage to catch a brief glimpse of Baby Jesus, hidden behind Joe Camel, Tickle Me Elmo, and Big Bird.

Also on YouTube, I highly recommend,"Dogs' butts stuck together", and "Huge Pimple Popped! Cyst Extraction! Pus! Pus! Pus!"

Those last two are not quite as gross as the light show, so I'd show them first, so they won't be a letdown. You want to build up to your main event.

You are one sick and disgusting individual, 6:52.

6:52, when you 'corrected' the spelling for "Puss! Puss! Puss", you made the video impossible to find. "Pus" is the correct spelling, though. But you have to spell it "Puss", to find the video on YouTube.

So, anyway, we started our DOUBLEWIDE BIG SCREEN TV LIGHT SHOW EXTRAVAGANZA with "Grey Squirrel with Cheek Absess", instead of the guy with a pint of pus cheese in the cyst on his back. Then, we showed about ten videos of dogs stuck together, and THEN played the Richardsons' Light Show videos. PERFECT evening, and it was way easier than loadin' our 400+ pound Maw Maw into Ricky-and-them's dually, to drive her and the grandbabies over to the light show in Madison.
