Today, Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson announced the details of the 56th Dixie National Livestock Show and Rodeo, which takes place January 22 through February 21, 2021.

"Applicable public health guidance will be observed regarding social distancing and masks.

If you believe that then I've got a bridge to sell you. Nothing short of an enforceable mandate will get the guidance to be observed.

Dixie National always touts itself as the largest rodeo east of the Mississippi River. Most Rodeos are in Texas or out West or in Canada. So not saying much but you do have to dodge bullets in Jackson. And that ain't No BULL.

Will Andy be wearing a new cowboy hat each day? Will there be more cowboy hats worn than masks?

Will the Rodeo dance still go on? If not, what will the buckle bunnies do?

as long as my tax dollars-federal or state-don’t have to cover any covid cost for this i don’t care if they pack it in no mask.

when my tax dollars go to covid treatment, it’s just as bad as welfare for able bodied people.

Buckle bunny? I think that I just fell in love, err, lust.

You were correct. However, I suspect that the Fearmongers, instead of having their heads explode, were delighted to have another shilling opportunity. Those shills are PAID, to spread hysteria and disinformation. They get paid pittances-per-post, and so every excuse for posting, gets them closer to the packet of Ramen Noodles, or the meth rock they need, in order to continue their wretched existence.

And while Dobb's is preaching to stay home....like the fair he will say..."ah just go to the rodeo...it's safe"...and then tell you to shelter in place the day the rodeo is over. Way to be on top of it Dobbs. You really have our backs.

Fearmongers out in force today. Didn't you fearmongers read the Danish study that proved that masks don't work and that cowboy hats provide 99.9999% protection from the virus? If you wear a Big White Hat like our ag commish, you get the extra 0.0001% protection you need. It's all in the science.

Dobbs doesn't control Gibson. Dobbs doesn't have the authority to shut this down.

Kingfish said...

Wanna bet? You might want to see what Dr. Dobbs' powers are under the state statute. You might be surprised. He just never uses them.

Hoot Gibsum said...

Gibson doesn't give a HOOT about you or me catching Covid. He's sitting in the air tight, glass enclosure atop a rented John Deere somewhere in his 1 acre garden, pretending to be a cowboy who ain't never roped a steer. Rodeo Clown seems to come to mind when I think about or see this guy on TV.

There are two or three annual events that keep this place open. Covid be-damned. Tate has decreed that Covid will not be allowed to enter.

@ Hoot Gibsum-
Love your description of The White Hat/ No Cattle Ag Czar. The scary part is how we elected this Goober.

Hoot Gibsum said...

If Gibson could figure out how to make one of his front teeth project a blinding gleam like a new diamond or a shooting star...he could be the next J.R.Ewing. But, frankly, he comes across more as just another 'Otis', riding a cow down the middle of the main drag in Mayberry.

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.
