Blind Leading the Blind?

 Guess who the Hinds County Board of Supervisors appointed to be the Interim County Administrator? 



This was all Credell's idea.  Nothing like dumb people who think they are actually smart.  Right, Credell?

Has he paid back his $80k and sent back his Amazon FireTV stick yet?

The man is totally incompetent and a racist.

Kingfish said...

No he is not. Not when it comes to his harem.

who is he?

Who is that? Is that Kenny Wayne Jones?

Interim? What happened to the other one?

Well the move certainly has entertainment value, as well as other potential.

Most of the big Cities that are really bad are in a decent County but not Jackson. A poor Jackson resident has a triple hit with city county and school district. Would be worst place to live in the entire Country.

City of Jackson and Hinds County synopsis:

Problems: We need better schools. We need water. We need roads fixed. We need less crime.

Answers: Let's elect Lumuba and Stokes. Let's hire Kenny Wayne Jones. Let's give a contract to Marshand Crisler. That will fix it.

And that hire sums up the Hinds County BOS to a T! Perfect! Now, Graham the Legend really will look like the smartest one there.

Let's give west of I-55 from Louisiana to Tennessee to Louisiana and Arkansas. Surely that was supposed to be part of the Louisiana Purchase, but if not, we can just do a quitclaim deed.

Well I guess for those of us who don’t have to endure the politics of Jackson it’s a non issue. However for the poor souls who live in or around Little Mogadishu it’s probably a shit sandwich. But then again life itself is a shit sandwich, the more bread you have the less shit you have to eat. There’s an old phrase that comes to mind that extreme incompetence breeds arrogant incompetence absolute. Everyone knows where it comes from and why it’s there, yet there are not enough intelligent people to make a difference or to change things. The real scary crap is the fact that this city and some of the same mental midgets make rules for the entire state. It’s happening across the country. One can see city’s and states with like minded people erode to third world status then demand bailouts from states that know better. It’s going to explode soon. When people realize there’s no option but to change things by any means possible, and that could be a bad thing for those on the fence eating popcorn.

Is it just me, or does it seem like state and local government keeps recycling the same people in spite of poor performance?

Y’all don’t know a darn thing about Kenny Wayne Jones! Just because you hate to see a black man you can’t push around doesn’t make him what you say he is. I’m sick you and your echo chamber. The thing about Kenny is you know where he stands. It just so happens he doesn’t stand with you. This is yet another example of you pathetic low grade attempt at journalism.

Actually I prefer black men I can't push around. No one likes a wimp or a beta.

Carmen Davis is starting to look real good right now. This crew fired her the first day they took office. They hired JRC. What did that last? 9 months? They got tired of pushing her back in her lane so out the door she went. Then they appointed an attorney as interim. That resulted in more than a few employees quitting, 14 transfers, multiple firings, and a pretty irate workforce. Board had enough and replaced her today. Carmen knew how to run things and was fine as long she didn't get political..... which she did.

Big deal. If someone thought this board would make a revolutionary move to hire someone based on pure professional expertise, get real. None of them could function on that level. It's nothing new and it's about the best you can expect. One hand washes the other... Good luck Kenny. Good luck Hinds County.

Why are you here? If you can't answer that question then your comment can't be taken seriously.

Hinds County chose David Archie over Darrell McQuirter. That's all you need to know. Darrell is a fine man who did a great job. You should have seen this coming.

Say what you want about Hinds County (and most of it will be right), but they had it rolling for a few years around the time the tire plant announced. Roads were paved all over the county. I bet they paved more roads in Jackson than Jackson did. You can't leave Clinton without riding on a smooth county road. Too good to last I suppose. They voted out the best board in decades. Shows you the typical voters mentality.

5:40, easy to pave roads when you pass a $50 million bond issue for roads, the year before election year. I could put a major addition onto my house and new cars in the garage if I took out a second mortgage too. Same deal, except I would have to pay that 2nd mortgage off with my own money, not with other people's taxes.

Election years always brings newly paved roads. Same thing is going on inside city of Jackson right now.

For those of you in the dark. From the Clarion Ledger from a bit over two years ago:

State Auditor Shad White said severance pay for public officials is prohibited by Mississippi statutes and has been addressed by the Mississippi attorney general multiple times. Both electronic items were purchased by Jones using a procurement card belonging to Canton Municipal Utilities during his employment and could not be located during a recent asset inventory, White said.

"When this many people violate purchasing laws, you have an organization that needs to entirely rethink its practices," White said. "Typically we do not have cause to issue this many demands to a single organization, but that is the case here."

White said ratepayers and others who put their faith in Canton Municipal Utilities need to be made whole, and the people receiving these demands are personally responsible for paying this money back.

6:28, what is the issue with using debt for long-lived assets? Who buys a house without using a mortgage? They issued shorter term bonds for paving and longer term bonds for bridge repair. And for the record, the bond issue was the year after the election of 2015, not the year before. That board did a hell of a lot more than the other counties and cities who sat around and waited on Obama to send manna from heaven to fix their problems. Not every county can sit back and watch Tate and Phil send state bond money to fund all of their pet projects.

8:02, WTF has that got to do with anything?

Anonymous said...

Did Shad get Kenny Wayne to return the items?

Kenny Wayne’s politics don’t line up with mine. But I like him. He’s actually a pretty nice guy. I got to know him in the state senate. But he can’t in no uncertain terms do this job. County administrator in any county is difficult but in a county the size of county you have to really have some smarts.

Stefan W said...

The internet has made cowards out of a whole generation... I’m old enough to to remember when you had an issue with someone, their politics or anything to that extent we would say it up front, our]t loud without the cover of Anonymous! I’m quite sure Kenny would graciously accept your criticism and kindly give a retort that’s not cowardly! The good ol days.... sure miss them.

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.
