The mayor of Vicksburg was on top of things this week. The mayor of Jackson was nowhere to be found. Jackson voters get what they deserved. Quit crying and vote smarter next time.

Love to vote smarter. For who? Have you seen the gang of nothings running? Nobody wants the shitty job.

No water or power said...

It appears the more property taxes you pay, the longer your power stays off. Eastover is always first off and last to be reconnected.

Great job, Mayor Yak-a-lot. If I could only drive through the neighborhood streets, I would come pick me up some drinking water.

Aaaaaaa-men, 8:50.

Hell, the State didn’t even want the school system it was required to take.

Yeah, I wonder why the State didn't want to be responsible for a school system that needed major upgrades...

"Yeah, I wonder why the State didn't want to be responsible for a school system that needed major upgrades..."

I don't know if the state did or didn't want responsibility, but, it wasn't their choice or their call. It was your Gubnor Feel Brant who made that call for purely political reasons.

8:07 - upgrades? That's not the problem with JPS. Facilities are in good shape, although there are too many of them for the population. But hey, its a good jobs program, keeping people employed you know.

Yes, the state probably didn't want it because it has been driven so far down in the muck it can't be revived - at least with the Nancy Loomes of the world demanding that the system not be changed.

Clean out the crap, reward the good teachers, and start from scratch is the only solution. But, the 'gubment education' lobby of the world won't let that happen.

Considering the political power of the teacher's union, what would you do with it.

How about you provide it through the damn pipes? It's like living on the frontier in the 1800s around here.

I think what this winter storm should have taught all of us is how fragile our society really is. If you count Sunday when the precipitation first started, it has only been 6 days (counting today). It's hard to imagine that many, many folks don't have at least a week's worth of food and supplies to make it thru an event like this. On day one or two, folks were already in need of getting to the grocery stores for basic necessities. If and when the unthinkable happens, a large percentage of society is going to be up shit creek without a plunger.

Not really sure what JPS BS has to do with the water problem, but what the hell. I just read on WLBT that the Mayor says it would cost 1Billion dollars to totally fix Jackson's water system. I say being the good Democrat he is he and Benny should just print that amount up and get it done.

1) Parts of Eastover have bee without power for going on 3 days according to Entergy's power outage map.

2) The rest of Jackson ought to thank everybody in Eastover every time they see them for being stupid enough to live there and paying those exorbitant taxes to live in a place with such inferior leadership and services as Jackson.

Did the State really take over the Jackson school system?

Anonymous said...

9:43 - blame the city leadership (or lack thereof) for all the failures you want - they deserve it. But - lack of electricity has nothing to do with the city. Guess you don't understand the different between Entergy (a private utility company) that supplies the electricity to your home, and those in Eastover, and the government.

The taxes paid, the city government, all those things have absolutely noting to do with Entergy.

Come back again when you have something substantial to say - or at least something that has a degree of value.

@10:52. If they did they are a dismal failure as well.

My post was in response to what another poster had brought up. Creating "strawmen" from my post to fit your agenda is pretty weak don't you think ?

Nice try but come back when you're able to read and comprehend.

I have personally sat in Bennie Thompson's office in Washington DC and discussed this very issue (I wasn't lobbying or asking for money - I don't work for Jackson - I do work in the water/sewer industry). This was under the Trump administration. Bennie said that Lumumba had asked for a federal blank check several times. Bennie said he told Lumumba that in order for him to "go to bat for Jackson with his House colleagues" that Jackson needed a plan for repair. Not just multiple bullcrap studies showing that it needs to be fixed (they have tons of those and any idiot knows it needs to be fixed). But an actual plan of what will be fixed, when it will be fixed, how it will be fixed, and what it costs. Lumumba was overwhelmed. Bennie told him "eating an elephant is a huge task. But you eat it the same way you eat anything else. Just one bite at a time. You have to start somewhere by fixing something." Now that democrats are in control of the presidency, Senate, and House, we will see if something changes.

Hope there is not another Carrington Event anytime soon; that would be a sure enough mess. What would happen with no unsocial media?

" Bennie said he told Lumumba that in order for him to "go to bat for Jackson with his House colleagues" that Jackson needed a plan for repair."

No doubt Bennie-Boo said that. And the little Lord bought it.

That's as funny as watching Maggie Wade "bat her eyes" , while
"dramatically" hanging onto every word out of the little mayor's mouth.

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.

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.
