Canceled!

The St. Paddy's Day Parade is cancelled due to the Coronavirus. The State Department of Health advised cancelling the parade this morning.  Malcolm White took their advice and made the decision to shut it down. The parade will return next year.

Upon the recommendation of others, I read America's Plague which details how the Yellow Fever was spread nationwide by revelers of the Memphis Mardi Gras. So this was a good decision.

I dont get the big deal. According to 4chan you can cure Coronavirus by closing yourself in a small room and mixing bleach and ammonia in a bucket. That's why both bleach and ammonia have been disappearing from store shelves.

With 500,000+ people dying each year from coronary artery disease in the US, what do we do? Celebrate the latest flavor of Doritos tortilla chips!

Malcolm was itching for an excuse to bag the parade and the Wuhan virus provided it. It won't be back. Just watch.

You mean Wuhan Flu?

I'm involved in events. Fear of getting sued is likely a driver when you see events get canceled. If people contract that virus and die and the exposure is linked back to that parade, a big fat lawsuit is coming. Claimant will say "That city or charity was warned by the health authorities that events could expose people to this virus but they went ahead and had their event anyway--and poor Mr. Jones is now dead because of their callous disregard and gross negligence." Ole' Morgan & Morgan will have a field day. So don't be too hard on the parade organizers. If I was them, I'd cancel in a heartbeat. Huge legal liability. That said, events where people sign waivers is a different matter. If EVERY participant signs a well worded waiver, such as in the case of a 5K or cycling race, that's fine. But a public parade...? Not smart until the CDC and state dept of health say things are safe now.

Every hour over 6000 people die. 150k people die every day. Why isn’t trump addressing that?

Malcolm has been desperately hoping for some 'reason' to cancel this boondoggle event. Chokwe is off the hook with barricades. Jill Conner Brown and the girls will be appearing at Twin Peaks instead.

At least they won’t have to clean up all the drunks lying in the gutters

4:48, good luck establishing causation. Good luck proving the source, time, place and manner of infection.

This farce is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

"Sheep will be Sheep".

I think I will now peddle plastic "do-dads" from Asia.
I will wash my hands and everything should be fine . . . as I become a millionaire.

On a more serious note, have there been anymore carjackings in Belhaven ?

Who's making book that Antard uses the Wuhan virus as an excuse to further delay the re-opening of the Zoo?

You really don't have to worry about this in Mississippi nobody travels to this place and obviously not many of you travel further than Winona.

"Malcolm White took their advice and made the decision to shut it down".

I sense Malcom wanted to shut that parade down a few years ago.

It ain't the same.
Jackson ain't the same.

This is the best scenario Mr. White could have ever dreamed about.

I’m like 3:43, but I went one step further and mixed bleach, ammonia and Lithium batteries from the truck fire and WOW!!!!! Now I can’t breathe but I can see the energizer bunny in my dreams!!!

OK, all you brainless bloggers; the reason to keep people from congregating is to make it to a time when there is a vaccine.
Facts
Coronavirus** aka Covid-19 is 12 times deadlier than the Flu.
Every human being is a walking incubator.
The Covid-19 virus has never been seen by the body, so, there is no built up resistance.

Yeah I bet Malcolm wanted to shit down one of his best sinews busy day of the year. He planned this virus to not make money. I am not saying some commenters are idiots, but if the shoe fits fits your clown sized feet wear hem. This will hurt many small business and other larger in Jackson

I doubt we will ever get a proper translation of this comment.

Yep, and you can thank the fully retarded trial lawyers. I’d love the opportunity to sue one one day.

The fact that it is on March 28th tells you everything you need to know about the St. Patty's Parade... If you can't hold it within the week of the 17th, what is the point?

and.... just like that there was never another St. Paddy’s Day Parade in Jackson MS!

I’m glad it is cancelled. It always gets on my nerves that for one day all
the rednecks and white trash around here get dressed up and think they are Irish. Most of them couldn’t even find Ireland on a map.

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.
