The Downward Spiral Continues

 How better things at the Clarion – Ledger? Apparently, not even the newspaper wants the newspaper.  WJTV reported:

This wouldn't happen if there were more bird cages to line. Maybe they would be useful if there is another TP shortage.

Animal shelters would love to get those newspapers to line their animal enclosures. How much extra effort would it have been to make a donation to help homeless animals?

There are no garbage dumpsters located outside the Clarion Ledger’s building?

The JPD request that citizens report illegal dumping is laughable.

JJ's Jackson readers should also note that a portion of Antar Yakety Yak's requested solid waste rate increase is specifically to pay for illegal dumping to be picked up by a private company on the ratepayer dime.

Yakety Yak got that idea at one of his "town halls". Dignity economy equity-based deductive reasoning works like this:

1. The people at the "town halls" don't like illegal dumping.

2. The Mayor has no intention of enforcing laws.

3. Therefore force the people who don't like illegal dumping -- regardless of their financial ability -- to pay to have the garbage picked up.

4. Tell the people that the Mayor fixed the illegal dumping problem.

5. When the illegal dumping continues and the people complain the Mayor will go to the TV Newsers (and public works kid reporter savant Nick Judin) to demagogue the bad private solid waste provider who must not be picking up the illegally dumped garbage fast enough.

6. Should the people still be unhappy the Mayor will tell the people that Rukia the Omnipotent will send the illegal dumping credible messengers over to ask the illegal dumpers to stop illegal dumping.

7. If all that fails and the people are still unhappy about illegal dumping the Mayor will stimulate the fawning non-questioning national press to report that the Mayor walked on water and solved the problem using his superior intellect and ability to communicate nothing at all in 5000 words or more.

How many copies of "Mississippi Today" are in that pile ?

Maybe the local homeless guys will now take their sh!ts in front of the CL building instead of the normal spots.

They should have been dumped in front of the High Mayor's security gate, right?

@9:51 AM I honk every time I drive by his place, day or night. Just waiting for one of those JPD officers stationed across the street to pull me over for some other ostensible traffic slight when the real reason is I honked the horn.

He probably takes it as encouragement.

@10:16 AM - light off one of those packages of firecrackers or M-80s. That should get those officers off the internet in their cars, and maybe baby chowke will wet his pants and hit his panic button.

8:58am asked: "There are no garbage dumpsters located outside the Clarion Ledger’s building?"

Yes, actually there is a building located across the street that has the words "City Hall" facing Congress Street that serves as a major trash receptacle. Large pockets of hot air can be seen rising out of the building every other Monday and Tuesday.

What a shame to blight such a nice neighborhood

The comment about JPD asking the public to report illegal dumping made me laugh. Like, who really believes the JPD will comb the city looking for perpetrators of illegal dumping?

2:15 : They can't even stop the homeless from sh!tt!ing right out front of the police station !

Until a paper is sold or delivered, does it still belong to the CL? The PoPos need to go arrest someone at the CL for dumping "Trash". Then they could be sentenced by the court to pick up and dispose all of the trash in Jackson.

I'd also add USA Today and the Nashville crew to the arrest.

Meanwhile: There is no way to track the number of people who have dumped this Blog.

Former employee here. Those are free weeklies meant to be thrown in every driveway on a delivery route, subscriber or not. Drivers are paid $1 per bundle. However, since no one ever follows up to verify if they were actually thrown; they wind up wherever a driver can ditch them. When I worked there, it was commonplace for drivers to take them directly to the recycle dumpster and toss them. What that means is that all those advertisers are being robbed, since rates are determined by circulation. Baptist Healthcare & Cellular South usually had prominent ads, as I recall.

Maybe so but we don't have to be concerned that you are one of them.

Every newspaper has half a ton of uncirculated, unsold papers. You can call any of them and they'll tell you come get all you want for wrapping/moving use, etc. What do you suggest be done with them, otherwise. Bon Fires are not legal except in West Jackson and Smith Park.

...and animal shelters can pick them up just like anybody else can.

$1 per bundle to deliver to every driveway within a route? Lumumba should have something to say about that undignified rate of pay.

I saw a C-L paper the other day, it wasn't big enough to wipe your ass with.

Anonymous said...

Advertisers, I think still get credit for those ad packs that go out for free. Anything to keep circ number up. By the way anyone that delivers the C-L is NOT a C-L employee all are contract 1099 contractors.

Several HOA's around the country have stopped newspapers from dropping these in driveways and yards. Newspapers have free reign on public but not private property.

While I was there a new Circulation Director decide he wanted to test Mayor Mary and place newspaper coin machines outside a bunch of Madison neighborhoods entrances right of ways. It took the publisher to convince him he did not want that fight.

Remember, Antar Yakety Yak wants Jackson utility ratepayers to pay the cleanup tab for this growing scandal of Clarion-Ledger illegal dumping.

Lieutenant Tragg said...

Mayor Mary for Attorney General!

But, one has to have courtroom experience for that job.

The current one doesn't.

I see they interviewed that asshole PJ Williams. The Clarion Ledger should have dump them newspapers on him with all the trash talk he does about white people.

The Clarion Ledger has become a leftist , race baiting rag. Every day they post some divisive drivel about how horrible the state and the country is. They continue to cover for the inept and senile Biden and the socialist Democrats. No wonder they dump their papers. You might as well just watch MSNBC and think you are getting news. The CL will not take letters to the editor for fear of publishing something that might criticize the left. They even dropped Mallard Filmore in the comics because the comic strip poked fun at liberals and do-gooders. The CL is guilty of not really attacking the problems of Jackson and laying blame where it belongs. I sold all my businesses and my home in Jackson and got out. The people continue to elect incompetents to run the city and wonder why Jackson is the way it is.

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.
