Oops!

Hmmm..... what is wrong with this picture?




A little confusing so JJ spoke to the Department about masking.  Masking is required if someone can't social distance.  Commissioner Andrew Gipson strongly encourages the wearing of a mask, especially if social distancing is not practiced.  Security personnel will enforce the social distancing policy for those who choose not to mask.

Goodness this seems incredibly dumb. But not as dumb as the Jr. League holding Mistletoe Marketplace INSIDE the trade mart a few weeks after.

Required face mask not required.

Speaking of what is wrong... Why are the COVID-19 data of some big private schools in the metro area not on the MSDH aggregate school COVID-19 report? Maybe because the kids of certain politicians go there?

Is Gipson going to be held accountable when there is a spike in cases after this trainwreck?

@7:10pm - it will be gone by Christmas. It will be a miracle, just like it was gone by Easter.

WAPT, no surprise.

WAPT has to be the worst about posting headlines that don't agree with the stories. Last week the had a story about "Ridgeland" by the lead line had "Richland." The TV stations have gone the way of the CL. No proofreading.

No proofreading and little in the way of actual journalism.

Will the fair "social distancing police" have tape measurers?

No one proofreads shit on the local BIG 3 website "journalism" coverage.
Holes like swiss cheese in the stories.

WAPT is hands down the most vacuous.

The Marketing Director at the Andy Ag Dept facebooked Melanie Christopher at WJTV and said masking is not required, except for the workers.

No masks for attendees.

These dang whippersnappers who call themselves Journalists. Just another example of the world swirling around the toilet bowl.

I was fortunate enough to catch some cat from the fairgrounds being interviewed by some blowhard on the super(commercial)talk radio station. I heard "yeah, we're gonna shut down the flame throwin' booth and a couple of other things that have folks too close to each other. Everything else is gonna be fine."

I'll have to be honest here. In today's political climate, the last damn thing the state of Mississippi needs to be doing is shutting down the dag-gum flame throwin' booth. We're the state that threatened to send Cliff Finch to DC on a road-grader back in the day, and we can't keep the damn flame throwin' booth at the state fair operating? Dammit boys, we got standards to live up to down here.

11:52, I forgot about ol’ Cliff Finch. We sure have had some doozies running our state haven’t we? And we still have a former governor running it but I’m not saying no names. And that’s why 200 of the wealthiest families run this state and call the shots

WJTV's turn. "Posted: Oct 6, 2020 / 06:51 AM CDT / Updated: Oct 6, 2020 / 07:06 AM CDT


JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV)-Authorities are on the scene of a crash involving a car and 18-wheeler on Highway 80 in between Terry Road and Raymond Road.

The crash happened Tuesday morning just before 6:30 a.m.

There are injuries reported at this time."

Ahhh, I lived in Jackson all my life and I don't think Raymond Rd. intersects Hwy 80.

I like Christana, though.

The Jr. League comment seems incredibly specific. Are you a member of the organization?

Looks like the "No kids left behind" actually left behind journalists who WRITE for a living.

Keep the masks off. We need to just try to get to 100% confirmed cases. That fact alone doesn't mean a damn thing with a survivable virus very similar to a common fucking cold. People die, but apparently not that many from this one. No masks. MAWKE member.

You're gonna need more than a mask to get out of the fair alive.

I have my lunch box and hardhat from the Finch campaign days.

Governor Finch was one of a kind.

There's no doubt he would have driven a bulldozer to Washington DC.

After all, what other Mississippi Governor had a photo taken while in a heart shaped tub (bubble bath) ?
I really can't remember if that was before or after his wife shot him in the butt. Gawd, the Finch administration made "The Dukes of Hazard" look like "Masterpiece Theatre".

But back on topic.

I'd wear a mask at the flame thrower booth.

( A flame thrower is actually a good part of Andy's wild hog control program)

Eradication and BBQ at the same time.

Cliff and his wife Zelma Finch. The weirdest first couple in Mississippi history. Remember when cliff ran for President in 1980. Still makes me laugh.

" Remember when cliff ran for President in 1980. Still makes me laugh."

I Remember it like it was last year.
That was embarrassing but funny.

He didn't win the White House, so by 1982 he was back in private practice in Batesville.
But that didn't stop him from driving over to "happy hour" at the Ole Miss bars every afternoon.

Hell, I think he had a reserved bar stool at the Warehouse & the Gin.
( Two popular bars in Oxford in 1982).

But back on track.

WE NEED THE FLAME THROWER BOOTH AT THE FAIR !

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.
