Madison to Hold Special Election for Alderman

 The city of Madison issued the following statement. 

The Board of Aldermen has ordered a Special Election on Tuesday December 15 to fill the vacancy for Alderman-at-Large.

State law requires a special election because more than six months remain in the current term of office. State law sets the election process, the qualification guidelines and the timeline.

·       Qualifying deadline is Wednesday, November 25.

·       Candidate information packets are available in the Office of the City Clerk at 1004 Madison Ave.

7 hours, no comments? Madison is doomed. It's over. Sell while you can.

In other words, anybody interested has to show up at City Hall and interact with the Queen's staff. They'll all be alerted by the secret button/switch...Somebody is here to pick up the alderman packet...and you'll see them enter the hallway, peek around corners and watch from the windows as you get back in your car. This gives the Queen ample time to decide who will be elected and who will suffer the wrath of her sabre. Nobody is elected without her support. Politics in Madison, The Not For Sale City.

Would be interesting if someone simply showed up, asked for a packet and declined to give Mary's girl his/her name. Bedlam would ensue.

Hopefully, someone will run that won’t kiss Queen Mary’s arse and will stand up to her and her BS.

When is someone..anyone..going to step up and do what's in the best interest of the area? How has the wool been pulled over this community for this long? No qualified person is going to submit their name. This position was filled months ago..the amount of fear that's been instilled into folks is just mind blowing! The only ones here who stand a chance are the brainwashed followers..it's like sitting back & watching everyone fall into a giant sink hole.

Hate to be contrary, but Mayor Mary has built one of the destination cities in Mississippi. Compare what she has done with dozens of other cities over the past decades. Why fight her? Her results speak for themselves. Yes she steps on feet occasionally but any mayor has to do that. Some Madisonites are probably hoping the next Alderman will be on her team.

For those of you Mayor Mary haters you can stick with your Mayor Baby Chok and continue to live in the Jacktown. We don't want you up here.

Have you ever been to any other cities? One(s)that were actually planned out to accommodate growth? The current amount of congestion is growing faster than this city can keep up. The roads are an absolute embarrassment compared to many other cities. Let's not forget about all the new homes being built with hefty price tags with only one or two ways in or out. More homes..more people..more children..more traffic! What's the plan to tackle this growing issue? The local grocery stores can barely keep up..businesses can't pay enough to get employees that are willing to cross city lines, due to racial profiling..Oh...that's right..shhhh...that doesn't happen here. Growth has such a powerful impact on any city. If you are in support of the growth..elect representatives who proactively build not for the looks but for the safe roads to handle the traffic that comes with growth. We are not just watching a giant sinkhole..we are watching the biggest traffic accident happen before our eyes..and to know that this could have been avoided. This has nothing to do with being on a team nor working with a current servant leadership. This boils down to the good old boys & girls club..the biggest click around.

Where's Crosby been ?

Pretty sure he left Kroger . . . so mopping up broken pickle jars on isle three is not his biggest concern anymore.

Since this is about Madison, just wondered about John Bell's whereabouts.

Human poop still flows out of man holes after a big rain on Clark Farms road. So don't lecture me about how Mary has planned for growth.

Please little baby Jesus, please let somebody walk in with a Initiative 65 tee shirt and ask for a candidate package.

Mary better watch out because anybody with $500 can take an election on December 15. If turnout exceeds 1,000 people I'll be shocked.

What about that crazy SWAT guy who keeps running against Joel Bomgar? That might be his toe hold in to Madison politics.

Yep, Madison is a sink hole. Stay in Jackson, the Radical City.

@3:24 PM - It's "aisle," not isle, bright spark.

8:10 - You're wrong. With enough busted pickle jars, isle is correct. Here's your sign!

There is Bruce Bartley who is pro police he would make a good alderman who can work with the the city. Micah Gober would be a good alderman always shows the best of Madison on his Facebook. Then there is Sandra Warren she should run to because she had a good working relationship with the city.

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.
