Rescued!

 The Madison Fire Department posted the following message and photos on Facebook. 

In a world full of people who couldn't care less, be someone who cares more." The Madison Fire & Police Department responded to a call at Kroger on Hwy 51 for younglings that had fallen in a drain. As they arrived, the mother was anxious and flying above. Firefighters Wallace & Blake donned their turnouts and using an attic ladder, descended into the drain where they were met with 10 excited youngsters. Using a handbasket from Kroger, FF Wallace in one swift motion, captured the 10 wayward babies. As the younglings were brought to the surface and passed up to firemen Moss & DeFrance, all could hear the mother excitedly thanking the firemen. Ms. Lisa released the baby ducks close by to mama duck.

Thank you so much for posting this. Our Madison firefighters and policemen are the best!

Such a sweet story. And not being from the area, it reminds me to ask which metro area restaurants have duck on the menu. Asking because, err, a friend wanted to know the other day.

I am impressed by the humanity displayed and I am incredibly impressed with that mustache.
Well done men.

A complete waste of taxpayer money! Ridiculous.

Cutest little things. Hurrah for the good guys!

8:28 This is realistic training and It’s a blessing that they had no real life(people)emergencies! Let’s look at the good in people.

I’m grateful that they saved those birds. I love shooting them during duck season!

Aren't mallards that don't migrate not wild animals at all, but feral descendants of escaped domesticated ducks? Ducks that stick around for the summer are unnatural and a nuisance. They should have been destroyed.

@8:26 This is a very refreshing and uplifting story about the good in humanity. You are in serious need of massive therapy.

11:13am did you forget to take your psych meds this morning?

3:49 PM, read up on it. Feral, non-migratory mallards are bad. They're displacing and hybridizing with wild ducks.

I've been waiting for a dunce (8:26) to post exactly THAT!

I lifted this story from JJ and put it on my personal page along with this comment:

"Some nay-sayers will complain, "Oh, what a waste of my tax dollars!"

"But this gives these guys pride in who they are and what they do for the community, gives them a break from doing repetitive chores, waiting for an emergency call or fighting a fire.

"And they can answer a call in the same response time from Kroger as they could from the station since they're on the truck and wearing their turnout gear.


"And gains them a world of respect from the community...and children who might want to be a first responder."

................

And for 11:13 and 6:37, may the Bird of Paradise grant you perpetual jock-itch, inflamed roids and kerosene-breath.

You should see him in-person. WOOF!

As for the naysayer who thinks this was a waste of money: practice accessing and navigating such spaces, can and probably will save lives, later-on.

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. 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.
