The Jackson City Councilman's Creed

The Jackson City Council has been quite busy lately.  However, one little matter escaped the media's attention.  The City Council created it's own creed and passed it at last week's meeting.


I am a Jackson City Councilman.

I am weak and I have no heart.

I can never do the right thing nor accept responsibility.

I will always place my ego first.

I will never admit fault. 

I will always quit.

I will always take the easy way out.

I am obnoxious, loud, mentally weak, immature, and potentially brain-dead.

I always maintain my self-importance, my stack of excuses, and lack of motivation.

I wear my City of Jackson pin.

I suck at life and will never try to better myself.

I am a Jackson City Councilman!

It's city councilperson... I thought it was not politically correct to use gender. According to Donna Ladd and the JFP... also, councilman Banks likely needs his read to him as I'm sure he can't read!!!

that would be one thing they got right!

I'm confused, what did someone do now?

@ 1:06 That's just it, they don't do anything...!!!

Since all are in this brotherhood together, is it OK if this is copied for use in another venue? Asking for an elected official in Canton.

I think you plagiarized that from Big Swoll aka Kenneth Stokes.

Virgi does well. Republican from NE Jackson is a clueless moron that sides with Stamps way too often. If councilman Banks only knew what others outside of his warzone of a ward thought about him he might stop running his mouth and listen.

You forgot...

I will never answer questions from citizens or the media
I will always take credit and never take blame
I will never address the problems that really matter
I will ignore the water system and never discuss it
I will never be accountable because I don't know what it means
I will always blame racism
I will always run for a higher paying office

They left out the part about taking kickbacks from minority-owned businesses to get city business

I noticed the council waited until Kennuf was on medical leave so it didn't embarrass him publicly

This doesn't apply to Ashby though. He's definitely not loud or obnoxious. I'm not sure if he ever kept track of his COJ pin either.

You also forgot...
I am the only politician in Mississippi with these traits. (except for my fellow councilmen)
It is all my fault.

2:49, I think you have your councilpeople mixed up.

Please give examples of where Foote has sided with Stamps on anything that wasn't a unanimous vote of the council.

Bet you can't name two, much less anything that could be defined as "way too often".

Generally, its Foote, Priester, Tillman and Lindsey against Stokes, Stamps and Banks.

"What did someone do now" you ask?

Oh - they pissed the Fish off with their zoo antics (might best be related to a circus, but that could be most anything that comes out of this council AND administration.

should have ended it with

"Next"

@3:49
I like Ashby Foote and live a few houses down from him. I also attended west point as he did. Obviously I'm 20 years younger than he is. Any one that runs as a Republican against Ashby Foote will win. Your obviously his wife.i say that because outside of his household no one in ward 1 thinks he's worth a $#it.

Anonymous said...

3:49 PM, well, Stamps will be warming his seat up for someone else soon. What is his new title again?

Anonymous said...

Foote is honest, smart, and does fine under the circumstances. He will be easily re-elected if he chooses to stay in that
Cesspool. Foote is also very aggressive about identifying waste and bad practices. No one else seems to want to reform
or cut spending on anything.

Kingfish said...

He is?

Foote voted against the 'healthcare' grab of free speech. He is the only radical to serve the City.

Anonymous said...

4:16 - why don't you try it then. And while you are at it,tell us what you think you could accomplish sitting on that dias as a Republican (white, at that) amongst those other idiots.

Foote is doing fine, and while there aren't many interested in taking on this position, he could win over most all of them.

Don't believe it - the filing fee is just a few dollars; write your check and show us your West Point mettle.

(And no, I'm not his wife. Don't swing that way.)

Just saying: The female councilperson doesn't return phone calls. Ashby Foote does.

Ashby and Susie are good people. We’re fortunate that he’s willing to be a part of this circus on our behalf. Can you imagine spending that much time dealing with those morons yourself?

Anonymous said...

To the blogger defending Ashby. To say he will be easily reelected shows your obviously unaware or just lack insight to those residence of NE Jackson. I know 2npeople that will likely run against him. He's aggressive? Your out of your mind. People of ward 1 call virgi often times due to Ashby not calling them back. This said I still eat with him Thursday morning at broad street. He's just a bad councilperson.

Anonymous said...

Susie is a wonderful person... she is a sweet lady and a supportive wife. Ashby is not ideal for a councilman. Did someone say he's "aggressive" if that's the case you need to look up the meaning of that word. I do know many people frustrated by Ashby. Look at virgi... she gets things done. I told Ashby a year ago while eating breakfast with him as I often do... Ashby vote with Virgi if your ever in doubt.

Kingfish, when you're responding to someone's comment on one of the threads on your blog, please reference their time stamp or name. Otherwise, it's difficult, if not impossible, to determine to whom you're responding. (Your post at 4:45 PM in this thread, for example. Thanks.

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.

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.
