They Done Did It Again

 You can't make this up.  You just can't.  Read the front page of the Clarion-Ledger today: 


Want to guess what did NOT appear in today's edition?  You can't make this up.

It's in my online version. I don't get the driveway version anymore.

They are just trolling State fans at this point. Nobody is that incompetent.

But, but, they won 17 Mississippi Press Association awards for 2020 work.

The special section was included in the print edition I received this morning in Raymond - maybe it was left out of the newspaper elsewhere?

3:32 - You got the special section TODAY, in Raymond, correct? Test Question: How many days have passed between MSU winning this title and the day you received the special section?

Just the paper's research into how often a fool is born. Trust me, anyone who beleives they are serious about putting the insert out is a fool.

They are still waiting for Lemonis to pitch in the CWS. And, the CL wonders why the number of subscribers continues to decline.

Good gosh folks, it’s college baseball. I’m guessing less than 1% of the nation knows who won. More people know about your cheese than baseball.

Responding to 3:22 - I first got the special section on July 5. When it was published the first time, 5 days after the championship

Not in mine today in Belhaven!

This isn’t about college baseball 5:04. This is about the continued incompetence and/or callousness of the Clarion-Ledger.

5:04, while I disagree, I bet they are alienating close to half of their target audience by their antics. Not a smart move for “the states newspaper”. Most state fans I know have cancelled their subscription about 5-10 gaffs ago.

Biased! Where the hell was the special section for the Ole Miss world champion women’s golf team?!? That is the championship program that deserves the most recognition here.

Good point 8:09, where was the ole miss coverage of their woman’s golf national championship? In today’s #metoo movement, one would think that they would have gotten the same recognition. Not only did they win a national championship, but one in a women’s sport. Their championship is the only woman’s Division I national championship in Mississippi’s history. Pretty clear sexism is still prevalent in not only in Mississippi but overall journalism as well. #fairisfair

Hey, 5:04. Hey. I know how you must feel. It's probably hard to type through the tears. Everyone in Mississippi knows. A ton of people in Tennessee. Most of Nebraska. Anyone in the United States who remotely keeps up with sports. There were 69 million twitter impressions during the championship series.

So your "less than 1%" is an awfully ignorant guess, but either way, what's important is... YOU know who won, don't you? Yeah, you do. Drink it in, pal. Drink. It. In.

King - I got my copy last Monday, and again today.

Horror stories from the experimental vaccine but by all means, muh stickball!

Hot damn, I've finally made it in to an exclusive group. 5:04 says less than %1 know the Mississippi State bulldogs won a baseball championship, I know it. Whoo hoo. I'm looking forward to the Pirate and the Lane Train putting on a show.


Go dogs, from an Alabama fan. Roll Tide.

If you're putting any reliance on the CL, it's really on you at this point. It's like complaining the phone book didn't arrive on time.

CL prints a frumpy news/ad flier in a yellow plastic bag, featuring stories like high school band practice auxiliary picnics, and puts multiple copies of the unsubscribed trash in driveways every Wednesday.

I always thought it was fraudulent circulation to jack up ad rates by including two or more identical copies at each drop. Last Wednesday I had four copies in that ugly bag!

Hotty Toddy. Glad to see there is an Ole Miss mole in the circulation department.

Are you tellign Me MSU won the college world series. Wow I use the Clarion Ledger as my only source of news How did election come out is it Trump or Biden? HA

Anonymous said...

@2:55 I bet you are correct. High aspirations trying to work their way up to a journalist out of the political science/liberal arts college. Best we got is a troll at the Clarion Ledger.

Anonymous said...

8:31 should do a little research; our beloved DSU Lady Statesmen won three AIAW Div I national championships in basketball in the 70s.

Anonymous said...

@8:31 also the DSU football team has a legit, uncontested, non-self declared national championship in football. No one else in the state has one of those, though one school claims they do.

The Clarion-Ledger still exists? City of Jackson should buy the building and turn it into the new city hall, I mean, if the City of Jackson had 50 cents of federal or state grant money.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. 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.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
