Money Pours in to A.G.'s Race

The money is starting to pile up in the race to replace Jim Hood as Mississippi's Attorney General.  State Representative Mark Baker (R-Lynyrd Skynyrd)  and State Treasurer Lynn Fitch are running for Republican nomination for A.G.  Ms. Fitch raised $366,699 at the end of January while Mr. Baker raised $330,641.  However, Mr. Baker has $378,902 cash on hand while the Treasurer has $281,769.


Ms. Fitch's top contributor is that ole West Point cuss, William Mounger.  Mr. Mounger donated $25,000.  Several attorneys donated $10,000 each to her campaign as well. The top donor for the Brandon Representative is himself.  Mr. Baker donated $50,000 to his campaign.  The next highest donor is GOPAC at $22,500. 

Dead even in fund-raising? It looks like we have us a fight in the A.G.'s race.  The Street Committee says State Representative David Baria (D-Mardi Gras) will qualify to run for the Democratic Nomination.

Lay’n is Mike Moore’s candidate. Under her lack of leadership at State Treasurer , hasn’t the state missed. two major bond payments? And, wasnt she absent from the PERs bordmeeting when they hiked the rates this summer?

Mr Baker’s problem is that he must get out in front of people to get his name out. And the more he gets in front of people the more they dislike him. It’s truly a Catch-22 that he cannot avoid. He is very easy to dislike and very difficult to like.

Baker looks like a Nazi. And acts like one.

Keep A.G. Blue!

As expected, Kingfish has a smart ass nickname for Fitch's opponent but won't dare denigrate HER. Maybe he has visions of being on her payroll.

Check who is giving all this money. Lawyers of course.

Baker has already co-authored legislation that would remove authority from the AGs office.. seems odd. Maybe it can be funded properly under a Republican leader

I know nothing about Baker. But if the best his critics can come up with are the tired "Nazi" labels then he must be worth considering.

Mark Baker for A.G.? Really??? Mark, who I know quite well, cannot negotiate, on a rational basis, with anyone of an opposing point of view. He quickly reverts to intimidation tactics involving irrational, loud-mouthed babbling lacking any form of civility that is totally void of sound legal arguments.

Rep. Mark Baker is by far the most qualified candidate for AG. Rep. Baker is very likable and I have found him very knowledgable and very easy to work with, which is not easy to say when you deal with the plethora of personalities that work in law enforcement all over our state. I know that Baker has the backing of the men and women who wear the badge.

Ok, Mark.

LEOs support Baker for sure. Fitch has been riding the good ol' boys coat tails to accomplish nothing except to constantly campaign on the taxpayer dime (just like worthless Hoseman).

He's a jerk. She's an inexperienced attorney with no reason to seek this office other than ambition. We can do better, Mississippi. March 1--tick, tock.

Regardless if you love, hate or like either one of them, Fitch will be your next A.G.

Is this the Baker pushing for the unconstitutional forfeiture bill? If so he doesn't like anyone who disagrees. He bows up quickly.

Do you think those Democrat officials on Lynn’s report are really Republicans or Lynn is really a Democrat?

Billy Mounger, one of the founding father’s of the modern day Mississippi Republican Party is supporting Lynn to the tune of $25k. His support is the gold standard of being a bona fide dyed-in-the-wood Republican.

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.
