Another reminder that they are out to get you. And just because you realize that fact, doesn't mean YOU are crazy.

“House wants new ceiling on U.S. debt... ‘Temporary’ roof to be set at $295 billion.”

Temporary, indeed. We’re at 27.5 trillion now.

The size of the debt is irrelevant since the money supply is based on the debt that backs it. Without a massive feeeral debt on their books, the federal reserve doesn’t issue currency. The shortage in liquidity comes when the fed retracts their supply of fiat and manufacture their own crisis. It is a cycle that they control and profit from.

Knowing this will either make you rich or make you bonkers.

"The only three people that care about the Gret Stet of Looezanna are Jesus H. Christ, Sears and Roebuck, and Earl K. Long........." I did not call him a cocksucker, I called him a sapsucker". These are direct quotes from Earl K. Long. Uncle Earl was one of a kind.

My first thought was this was going to be about Cliff Finch.

But then I remembered his wife ( Zelda ? ) didn't commit him . . . but only shot him in the ass with rock salt
or bird shot.

That was after this former Guv'ner of "The great state of Mis'ippi" was photographed neck'id in a heart shaped bathtub somewhere.

Vegas perhaps ?

But yeah, I had forgotten about the original Kingfish's issues with a mental facility.

Cliff Finch was the first thing that came to my mind, too. Did she actually shoot him? Will we ever find out the truth?

@5:47pm...I was a med student back in the day and rumor was that Finch was admitted with the diagnosis of "appendicitis" but was actually suffering from a GSW courtesy of his wife. Also someone supposedly wrote "DNR" (Do Not Resuscitate) as a gag on his chart.

My brother was an intern. He swears it was in fact appendicitis. The heart-shaped bathtub was in the Ozarks. More jobs and better paying jobs for all our people.

@12:34...I remember the 1st time I became grown enough to know about the National Debt. Reagan had doubled it from 1 trillion to 2 trillion...pocket change, the Trillion is the old Billion

I also see where Congress was Outraged because lack of spare parts kept a bombers guns & intercom from working during a Communist MIG attack. That is by definition an oxymoron now.

Longs wife left & moved into a new $60,000.00 house. That was some house then.

I don't remember as I was young. One governor had campaign advertising with a lunch box. I think he also operated a dozen or some piece of heavy equipment.

Gov./Sen. Huey P.Long was the real Kingfish. He and Earl were brothers. The Longs of Louisiana were actually from Smith County, Mississippi before the War.
I am surprised that no one mentioned Blaze Starr's role in the affair and the Exploading sofa" from her days a stripper in the French Quarter. It's available on YouTube.
I recall that in an interview with Blaze when a movie was made of her that when Sen.John F. Kennedy and Jackie were visited New Orleans that while Earl was showing Jackie the the Cabildo,that Blaze and the soon-to-be POTUS were to President were doing wild thing at Blaze's flat in the Quarter.

You remember correctly.

That was Cliff Finch's campaign ads.
A lunchbox and driving a backhoe.

Actually that was a brilliant campaign strategy.
The "working man" image appealed to many voters.

But while that demographic propelled him into office, they didn't expect see this "working man" taking a bubblebath in a heart shaped tub.

7:31, have you wondered why JFK had so many indiscreet indiscretions with women who were so OBVIOUS? ...why he had so many secrets that everybody knew about?

Just google something like "JFK and Lem Billings", if you want to know what Kennedy was trying so hard to distract attention from. It's also a good example of "our" media's longtime control of what the public is allowed to know. You'll notice that the story, even today, is mainly covered by sources across the Atlantic.

Thank you !

That's what many of us knew.
But he did make a miraculous recovery!

Hell, when I was freshman at Ole Miss in 1980, the former Guv would drive over from Batesville every Thursday & Friday and be the first one sitting at the bar in the Warehouse restaurant/bar.

(So his butt injury must have healed . . . as he remained seated on the those hard bar stools for hours ).

I also watched Finch hitting on lil' college girls . . . while most of the campus was still in class.

Gawd those were the days.

I'm not knocking Gov. Finch, only remembering facts.

Actually I can't blame him.
I would have tried the same thing, if I had been a former Guv'nahhh.

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.
