Mr. Fish, if you will permit me. This is a re-post from another thread.
Thank you.


the Mayor can't wait to get to Congress. I suppose his ultimate goal would be a U.S. Senate seat. The Mayor, after all, is an policy man, and not much interested in operational details. The water supply in Jackson is what we get from someone who wants to make Jackson the "most radical city in the US," and wants to "free the land" whatever-the-hell that means. I am reminded of one quote and one paraphrase:

Paraphrase of Leona Helmsley: Executive operational details are for the little people.

And Alex from Clockwork Orange: "I viddied that thinking was for the gloopy ones and that the omni ones use like inspiration and what Bog sends.

The Alta Woods area is still without water at day eleven approaching! We need to clean out city hall out from the mayor down. Ms Lee has been trying to help people from her ward. The rest need to go. We need Bob Miller back at head of public works. The mayor said he was on sick leave and was retiring, but that was not the truth. The mayor and city engineer wanted him gone, so he’s gone. Now we’re are stuck in a hell hole, but at least we have Mill street partly paved - with a bike trail attached. I understand that was the city engineer’s idea. How many people are going to ride their bike on Mill Street??? It’s time for the state to move in and give the water system to DEQ and National Guard. I’ve lived in Jackson nearly 43 years - but not much longer. Rankin county, here we come!!!!

These farkin' water (non) updates are getting really boring and tiresome. Please move on to something that's at minimum, interesting.

The list above shows 50 leaks, but Dr. Mayor's Puppet said 30 leaks in Friday's presser. 30 to 50 is a perceived uptick in leaks, or maybe a rounding error, or maybe Mayor Lying Bloviator told him to say 30 to satisfy the sheeple who can't read.

For you people who insist on voting for a progressive marxist, how is that "boo boo smell" today?

Fixing these dozens of perceived uptick in leaks, one patch at a time, is like playing wack-a-mole. Mayor Bloviator is still staying at the Madison Hilton.

I distinctly remember the DOCTOR who heads Jackson’s water department over 2 weeks ago saying the water would be repaired by the next Monday or Wednesday. I guess the Tuesday between Monday and Wednesday was a city holiday? Well!!!!!

@1:01. Come to Madison or Gluckstadt. We have utility service up here. We never lost power or water during the storm.

Water updates, murder updates, the dunce of a mayor foaming at the mouth updates, but I really miss the Chinese virus updates, that I can tell you.

I miss the Cristos and The Fondren updates, and, well, the Belhaven scores too.

South Jackson is getting the shaft like always.

8:00 - is Hizzonner the Mayor staying at the Hilton because there is no water at his NE Jackson gated residence, or is it because the gate code has been changed and he is no longer a welcome guest in that abode?

Can't imagine that he would be trying to keep a change of circumstances quiet for a few months, as he did with the departure of the Public Works Director that was actually trying to accomplish something - with the claim that he was "on medical leave" until after a scheduled meeting with EPA folks.

Smell like boo-boo in here.

So the mayor is at the Madison Hilton? So he’s getting some Bear Creek water then.

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.
