Of course, if the council overrides the veto, gumflapper will just follow Dumbass Dickinson’s reasoning and veto the veto override.

Wonder what "personal" services they are looking for from staffmark? More proof that our education system in Mississippi is a joke!

Can't be havin' them garbage trucks stagin' at Hawkins Field. That's an entry point for visitors to the city!

Council will break-away in a Focus Group and ride out there on a Cline Tours bus. Somethin's gotta be did.

The only town where people are leaving faster than from Jackson is from Kiev

If I were advising the council, I would not recommend attempting to override the "veto" because that would look like an acknowledgement that there was actually a valid veto (which there obviously wasn't).

I recommend the Mayor read Don Quixote. It seems he is relying too much on Machiavelli.

I see your veto and I raise you 10 vetoes.

Manage the quorum rule until this bullshit disappears from the agenda.

When Dems run a city this is what you get. The fools that voted these people in deserve what they are getting. One thing I might add is I see that it is nonsensical to have garbage pickup twice per week. Especially in this case when the new company can’t even determine whether they are picking up trash SOUTH of the city limits in another municipality.

Good enough for government work said...

My garbage was supposed to have been collected on Monday. It got picked up Tuesday afternoon.

Damn. Jackson making the rest of the state proud of their local officials. That's a major accomplishment.

Chok's award from Havard, with the byline of "impacting local communities," makes sense now.

Funny as f@#k to watch the narcissist boy mayor jockey for getting in front of group to get pic taken.

Eastover Place was completely skipped Monday and yes, Tuesday.

7:35 here. I read the agenda too fast. I thought they were going to vote on overriding the mayor's purported "veto" of the failed vote to approve the Richard's Disposal emergency contract. I didn't realize that the mayor had vetoed the council's decision to approve the 6-month emergency contract with Waste Management from last September. That's what today's override vote was about.

When did the mayor veto the decision to approve the WM 6 month contract and why?

This whole mess is so absurd. As much of a waste of time and resources it is, I really hope the city council continues to fight back out of principle.

If the mayor is so hung up on his talking point about 2x/week + carts with Richards being cheaper than 2x/week without carts with WM, why doesn't he really save the city some money and propose we go with Richards' super-discount offer for 2x/week with no carts? Obviously it's because WM scored the highest in the 2x/week no carts category despite not being the "cheapest", but the mayor doesn't like to acknowledge that. Still disappointed in Virgi switching her vote.

@1:14, obviously it has become a racial issue as to who the mayor wants. It’s still illegal, the council has to approve the pay applications/invoices, which is not going to happen, and no matter how you look at it the staging area seems to be a backdoor deal also. This little chump thinks that since his dad was buddy buddy with Bennie Thompson and they operated the New Africa Republic together out of Bolton that he can get away with anything. There are still people around that remember….yes…we remember!

Why should a disposal service provide garbage cans? Oh…I forgot…jackson is a third world city…never wind

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.

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.
