Trash Talk: Veto Fight Gets New Umpire

We got us a new umpire in Jackson's garbage wars.  The Mississippi Supreme Court appointed Senior Circuit Judge Lawrence Roberts of Meridian to hear Jackson City Council v. Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba.  The Council sued the Mayor over his veto of "negative votes."   Now we get to have some fun.

I wonder who signs the checks for the City. And if they are going to pay Richard's regardless of what the city council said. And I wonder if we'll ever know. How can they keep working for free.

This case should take some time to resolve. 10 Minutes would be too long.

I wonder if he will pull a Mo’nique and shit talk his fellow elected city leaders up in Canada, for rejecting his garbage “contract” shuck’n’jive?

Everyone thought the last incompetent Judge was going to really hit them hard. He exposed to the world how big an idiot he was. Maybe this time they appointed someone with more on the ball.

Judge Roberts is an excellent judge; and as an appointed judge in many cases since his retiring, he has done his homework on the case before ever entering the courtroom - something that Justice Dickinson probably should have done when he created the current mess.

At least the Honorable Dickinson can't dick it up anymore.

Is Richards still picking up trash and not getting paid? These guys aren’t getting paid any time soon (if ever). By the time this gets done with the courts and lawyers Richards will be using any money they get from the city to pay for lawyers.

We have a trash problem in Jackson ms. Apparently the only person that can solve it is in Meridian Ms. I am very confused. Please respond with a valid explanation,

Attn 5:55 PM I agree, but of course, I never was very good at throwing a football.

Does anyone know if Richards has been paid?
How long will they continue to work for free if no payment has been made? What a goat rodeo!

Now just a damn minute, why are we bringing law and common sense here to our city behind Hizzoner back.

Lawrence…. What of Arabia? That name sounds like royalty. Are you royalty?

Whatever Larry Roberts decides will be good. He's one of the best judges in MS.

Hopefully this judge is more "judicial" than the previous nimrod.

Ah, hell. And just when I was looking forward to another landmark ruling from Judge Learned Headuphisass Dickinson too.

Thank God Jess Dickinson has been sent packing, and let us hope he never sits on a bench again. "Lawrence" Roberts? Is he also known as "Larry" Roberts? If so, I thought he was a good circuit court and appellate judge. He'd be a good choice.

Hilarious 7:09!!!

Yes, this is Larry Roberts. He is a good no nonsense judge. No doubt he will dispose of this forthwith.

If Hizzoner Prince Chowke is still "out of town" he won't be able to "veto" Judge Roberts, right?

Anonymous said...

How do you veto something at did not happen? How do you veto an action that was not approved to start with? I do not understand .

How is 'throwing a football' relevant?

Everyone said Judge Dick was going to handle this toot-sweet, so I am going to reserve my optimism for Larry until proven valid.

I do hope he rules in a way that demonstrates that there is some modicum of intelligence left in our state.

Glad to hear it! Judge Larry Roberts is a fantastic judge. Very professional, very smart, and he has decades of experience. He's also an extremely nice person.

I don't know who Lawrence Roberts is, but Judge Larry Roberts is an excellent judge. He was also appointed to straighten out that case involving Robert Shuler Smith, so this isn't the first time that the Supreme Court has leaned on Judge Roberts to untangle a problem in Jackson.

I wonder if Judge Roberts is prepared to ask Richard's Disposal to step in and clean up Jess Dickinson's $h!+?

Good Riddance "Judge" Dick-erson. You were literally horrible.

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.

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.
