Work continues on fixing up the Jackson Zoo as it prepares to reopen. WAPT reported yesterday:
Kingfish note: Told ya. The zoo will reopen. The Mayor invested too much of himself into this issue to allow it to remain closed. He will beg, borrow, or steal the funds if he has to do so to reopen it (Obviously I'm speaking rhetorically.). He never dreamed the zoo would close and every day it remains closed is a mark on his boastful words.

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. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!

Where's the contract?
The last operator begged, borrowed and STOLE. Well, misused and replaced and misused and replaced, not actually stole. But bad choice of words KF.
If you rebuild it, will they come?
In the mean time, go down to Highland Village if you wanna see some cougars.
Future headline-
"Zoo to Re-Open due to work of-hard headed narcissistic"
Too bad the "mayor" doesn't care as much about crime victims. What a joke...pathetic.
This is what is referred to as a "last gasp".
Chockway- "This is "OUR" Zoo."
At least the zoo will have free water since it's in Jackson
Anyone want to take any bets on how long it will stay open? I'm guessing the next mayor will shut it down once he sees how much it is hemorrhaging.
Nothing but rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
We still have to drive through that violent shithole to get to the Zoo. The risk to my family is too high. Lipstick on a pig.
Zoo will not reopen. All of the numbers do not support sustainable operation. Jackson does not have the revenue to support a loss leader attraction when the infrastructure is running a deficit.
Where did the money come from to do demolition work at a place that is flat broke...and who received that money.
It will reopen. It has to. Too much riding on it for the Mayor. But it will quietly close soon after.
Anybody notice how long the planetarium has been closed for "repairs and upgrades"?
This is the perception of radical.
It's been somewhat quiet on the murder front. Did the thugs run out of bullets on New Year's Eve?
@10:25, it's strange how you honkeys are all gung-ho and gun happy when you're marching around the capitol building. But, the moment you've got to drive through a predominantly black community, you're terrified.
What are you so afraid of, black people who aren't afraid of you?
10:25 that area is almost a ghost town. What are you talking about?
1:04....I'm a white guy laughing. You are so right. There's some big talkers when they are surrounded by people who look like them.
10:25 shithole?, yes violent?, hardly
I-55 to the zoo via Woodrow Wilson is hardly a violent stretch. Black, poor and in decay for sure, but not violent. I would make that drive any day.
I never saw any advertisements for bids for any work at the zoo recently. Previous renovations were always posted in various plan rooms.
@1:04- It’s not the general population anyone fears. It’s the criminals/gang-thugs that wreak havoc and make the area unsafe. It’s the KNOWLEDGE that getting mugged, assaulted, raped, shot, etc. in Jackson and or Hinds County will bear little to no justice. Those that live in the community are scared of these SAME people. Stop making it a race issue!!! It’s a “I-don’t-give-a-fuck wannabe gangster” versus law-abiding citizen issue. That’s where the true “fear,” and more importantly, RISK, lies. It’s not worth the RISK... period!!
The interim director just said he wanted to paint the buildings so they "look clean"! WTH
Watch the documentary “Bananas and Love” and you will never again pay to go to a zoo.
