Someone please show Tyrone the way out the back doors so he can just go home.

It's hard to imagine intelligent people going after this stinker job. Bless their hearts...or something.

I would think if Lewis got into the position that Antar and James Davis would not be able to lie about things at the JPD.

Does it really make any difference? Try to remember all the promises made by candidates for Jackson's mayor and city council over the past 25 years. Just words that mean nothing. Jackson is what it is and the only the only thing we know for sure is that it will get worse.

I don't live in the ward but from what I've seen Ms. Lee seems like a good choice. Plus, it would be nice to have another woman on the council.

Don't know why anyone wants this job. The pay is low, the work is high (assuming you actually read everything that you're supposed to), and the ability to actually accomplish anything is almost zero.

Council can't implement anything, can't really DO anything.

Lee will be the hottest Jackson area government official EVER!

I’m not a Jackson voter and only know what I read but Ms Lee in addition to being an attractive young lady has great perfect educational background for the position. The council certainly needs some new blood and this is an en excellent time for it to happen.

You have to understand one thing about the people who seek these post....for most, it is the best “job” they have ever had.

" Go Tyrone! I miss the billboards!"

My exact same thoughts !

He spent a lot of money on those " Happy Valentines Day & Happy Mother's Day" billboards.
I only wish Sheriff J. D. MacAdory & Sheriff Malcolm McMillan were alive to comment on those billboards.

I wish stokes would put up such billboards on the same scale as Sheriff Tyrone.

But Sheriff Tyrone did have some pretty billboards.

Tyrone's goal is to pump up his PERS years of service. Period. He's spent years looking at the numbers and the formula.

I once lived in ward 2 and still have relatives and friends there. I support Mrs Lee because of her work in education and her strong family ties to the community. She seems to have a vested interest in making needed changes in Ward 2. I supported her campaign financially since I no longer live in Ward 2. I’ve seen what Tyrone Lewis did or better yet what he didn’t do when he was given the opportunity to serve as sheriff of Hinds county. If the only comments that can be made about him is the extravagant billboards he put up throughout the county on Mother’s Day etc. then not much else can be expected from him. Don’t waste your vote, if you expect anything more from Tyrone Lewis. Vote for change and progress. Vote for Angelique Lee!

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.
