We Have a Winner

 Angelique Lee will be the new Councilwoman for Ward 2 in Jackson.  The Ridgeland resident clobbered former Hinds County Sheriff Tyrone Lewis 60-40.  She received 1,672 votes while Mr. Lewis got 1,110 votes.  

This is going to be interesting.  City Council President Aaron Banks managed Mr. Lewis's campaign.  Now he has to work with the woman he tried to hard to beat.  This is one reason why councilmen and aldermen should not get involved in their colleague's races.  Now there will be some bad blood. 

Give credit to Ms. Lee.  She busted her ass and simply wanted it more.  Lean and hungry sometimes means hungry enough to do what it takes to win.  Ms. Lee won.

Looks like the whites in the Republican Club win again!

Interesting that you refer to her as a 'Ridgeland resident'. Stir that pot, KF. And, yes, we're all aware of the ongoing conversation as to where she may or may not stay.

We have a loser: Ward 2 They lost the moment Priester decided he had enough.

What? No recount?

It doesn't make any difference where she stays.

JPS for thee but not for the children of Ms. Lee!

True champion of ward 2. Lives in Ridgeland. Doesn’t send her kids to JPS.

Councilwoman Lee will be an excellent council person. She is qualified for the job and will bring a true caring desire to make a positive outlook for Jackson. She is not there for self, but for the people

5:39. It is not where she "stays". It is where she "lives". What is this "stay" crap?

Will the victory party be in Madison County?

Priester Jr. will be surely missed. Congrats to Lee!

7:25am I totally agree! My daughter went to JPS in the early 1980s. No way in hell will I jeopardize any child’s safety in the 4th thru 12th grades at JPS.

I personally know gang bangers and young as 6 year old not only in Jackson but other cities also! It ain’t the kids fault, it’s the sorry ass parents of these little darlings!

Anyone with a brain doesn't send their child to JPS.

I think at least one of her children attends St. Joe. But she's a BIG supporter of JPS. Like David Blount.

So I assume in January when JPS returns to the classroom that her children will be attending the correct school that corresponds with the address she used to qualify for voting residency, right?

8:20 - In terms of political correctness, which this blog demands, it is indeed 'STAY'.

There is currently an open City Alderman seat in Madison. We need some Hinds County folk to pick up an application packet at City Hall in that city.

Mary said Madison, The City, is all inclusive, not for sale and progressive.

Pretty woman's syndrome strikes again!

Remember when Lumumba Lite was talking about having to live in Jackson to work for Jackson. Does he not talk about that now? What about a commuter tax?

Looks like smart woman's syndrome strikes again!

The citizens of Ward 2 were not fooled by dirty politics. They/we want to continue to have leaders who want to be public servants more than typical politicians.

@8:47 AM - application time is long passed. Suck eggs, troll.

She sure is pretty.

Where do you "stay"9:13? Is that also where you "live"?

8:20 - don't you recognize sarcasm when you see it???

She must NOT be smart because the kids WILL be in JPS now and she will shopping on Northside Drive.

So glad she whipped Tyrone's ass. He's been worthless every since I knew him on the JPD.

Do away with borders all together. Let anyone run for any position statewide, just as long as they do the job.

Jackson is third world now. But since the US s chomping at the bit to join the third world perhaps Jackson is taking the leadership role it claims.

Err, uh, sorry, her residency scam actually means she is the typical Democratic Party politician. Try again.

1:47. Best post of the day. She, Crisler, Stokes and the rest of her election entourage don't care and refuse to see the damage to our system things like this cause.....they are way too selfish.

Ward 2, "everybody plays the fool. . . There's no exception to the rule."

Anonymous said...

December 9, 2020 at 3:00 PM; just a little clarification; it's not a matter of whether or not they refuse to see the damage, they just don't give a fuck. as long as they are in charge, nothing else matters.

LMBAO said...

3:00. Clearly you are of the "other" skin tone persuasion. We DON'T care. Move to Madison if you don't like how "we" run things. Better yet Rankin. Rankin will "fit" you better. Madison will not, as it is "changing" (to our way) daily.

There should be one abandoned house in every ward declared as a candidate house and whoever wants to run can use that address. Winner has to fix it up. Do that for every election and you'll get a couple of fixed up houses over time.

Anonymous said...

They are all going to have to run again in six months. Don't count Tyrone out. Next election will have 10X the voters of this special one.

Anonymous said...

Who is the "WE" that LMBAO is referring to? It is no wonder why Jackson and JPS have gone to hell and morons are clamoring for commuter taxes. Sure, impose a commuter tax and guarantee that those few businesses that haven't left Jackson already will be closing their doors in Jackson and racing to Madison and Rankin Counties too. This ridiculous and racist "we" versus "they" attitude prevents the city from ever improving.

What's Leftenant Graham's position on this residency thing? I never make up my mind until weighing his comments and thoughts.

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. 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.
