Star reporter Theres Apel left the Clarion-Ledger to become the Communications Director at the Department of Public Safety. JJ wishes her the best. Congrats on the new job. Her predecessor, Warren Strain, assumed a similar position at the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.

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.

Consider her animus for Apel going to be mighty fun watching DonnerKay and her ilk forced to interface with someone they already don't respect.
Who cares? She is irrelevant.
Is this just now happening? Seems like she has been a shill for them for a while. Hoping that the Clarion-Ledger replaces her with someone who will actually have some independence and seek to hold everyone accountable - those who break the law as well as those who make it and enforce it.
Strain to MDWFP? Shocking. Maybe he gets to hunt on that piece of property they purchased several years ago on the MS River around where the state park used to be near Rosedale. Purchased for public use, used by the Dept and their friends. Great deer hunting in there.
KF, the MDWFP would be a good source for you to dig up some corruption.
No “civilian “ communication people last at DPS because of the misinformation they have to put out to tow the DPS line
Who cares? She is irrelevant.
Amen to that. Does she even still publish her rag? Frankly, I'd forgotten about her.
I'm pretty sure JFP is still around however I never look for it. It seems these days her Ladness spends her time on Fondren nextdoor bringing up sensitive subjects and getting folks bent out of shape all for the sake of discussion I guess.
"STAR" REPORTER???? says who? good riddance.
She always seemed to be a "badge bunny" to me... I'm sure she'll fit in just fine...
Funny how the dedicated members of the media who are "searching for the truth" are quick to jump to a government agency and help blur the truth for a few extra dollars per month. Just proves that reporters (no matter how much they claim to be holier than the rest of us) are as hypocritical as the politicians the they cover and will follow the money, even when it means going over to the other side .
I would think that getting off a sinking ship such as the CL (or print media in general) would be a good move for anyone. Don't have to worry about coming in and being laid off with no notice. I don't fault her at all. Same as Ryan Moore in Hattiesburg who is the PIO for HPD.
Y'all 'bout to piss off The Kingfish, talkin' about one of his secret sources. Afore long he'll only have Jerry Mitchell left. And them reverse-racialist womens.
I read the article wrong at first. Thought Apel was going to the MDOT and would be secretly reporting on Tater's Rankin Roadway.
Well, can't win 'em all.
I met Apel at the Mississippi Book Fair at the session with George Malvaney. She has a genuine interest in ferreting out crime.
12:10 - Please define 'ferreting out crime'. Thanks.
She,nor any other local media personality, does nothing to 'ferret' out anything. They only report what they snatch off the wires, or pilfer from this blog.
I’d leave the CL also so congrats to her. But WTF do all of these government agencies need PR chiefs? Next thing you know Public Safety will be spending six figures on public service banners in Ole Miss’ stadium like DHS. The only winners are the campaign managers turned PR firms like Frontier Strategies and SuperTalk.
Its called self preservation. This was a lifesaver tossed to her from a sinking ship.
Therese is a great reporter who gave herself to her work and an even better person. She will do very well in her new role. Sam will be lucky if he’s able to replace her with someone even half as good.
Sam R Hall is the problem not the solution.
Anybody who could, has.
Anybody who can, will.
The rest will languish.
And they will draw U.I.
