Here for the invite, bc I’ve been Saved. How do you get invited to Antioch? I’d like a fish fry and political negotiations to be available to me in the back room. Is there a difference in that than 4th avenue cigars? Don’t get me wrong, I despise chokwe and what he’s continuing in this city, but there’s something about that clean hands doctrine that I’m missing.

That woman seems to really know what she is talking about.

@945 - she might know a little, same stuff anybody that keeps up with what's going on - that the city doesn't pay its vendors. That the vendor has picked up the sewer bypass pumps. That the street crews, and the sewer workers, don't have any working equipment, because the shops won't repair pieces that are in the shop --- because the city doesn't pay its bills.

But her ranting about the third party contractor that is taking over the work --- she's totally wrong. Doing nothing but ranting because she and others got let go. They were let go because for years they haven't done their job. The billiing department folks were the dumping ground for employees that couldnt hack it in the positions they were hired for. The water folks - the ones that are let go Friday - include several good workers (who have been hired by the contractor, if they wanted a job), but it also includes the meter readers that had their own little side business of installing straight pipes for 'their' clientelle. Or those that would read the meter and pick up a twenty, and report the service as inactive.

Yeah - those folks that she thinks should now, after twenty or thirty years need what? To be trained!! If after all those years the problem is they need training, she don't acknowledge what the real problem is.

And her assumption that when Henefin leaves (next year, or two/three years, doesn't matter) the contractor will still be here operating the system. Her stupipd argument that at that point the vendor leaves as well doesn't hold water - the whole concept is that the water system will never be back under the city's control. EPA has said so in its decree asking the Judge for the takeover.

In that area, she absolutely doesn't know what she is talking - ranting - about.

But - her and Kenny are right on about the absolute failure of the city to pay its bills. That is an unforgivable sin, and leads to many of today's failures. And that lays at the feet of the Mayor, who now tries to blame that on the folks in accounting needing training. Hell, after the 'new' system has been in operation for years, to just now decide there is a problem and the employees need to be trained - once the shit floated to the top in the Street Commission meeting a few months ago -- was a deflection that didn't deflect. Glad Kenny is out front waving that flag today. Maybe sooner or later the Mayor will get recalled for his absolute deriliction of his duties.

Truth. The Inconvenient Truth.

This is really informative. Two takeaways- 1) the blacks have been in control for 25 years, which means that ALL of Jackson's current problems are owned by black management of Jackson and 2) Kenny Stokes is the best thing going to solve Jackson's problems.

Yes!! Kenny got receipts! Get those clowns out Kenny!

" Kenny Stokes is the best thing going to solve Jackson's problems."

True..which makes it so much more horrifying.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king.

That is if legislation for recall ever gets passed.

If a recall statute comes to fruition, I am going to make millions selling "race cards."

Until there is a recall statute, Jackistan will continue to slide until it hits rock bottom. At that point Chowke will have moved on to greener pastures.

The mair will be indicted before the mair resigns.

The mayor won't be indicted, recalled or resigning.

He will leave Jackson of his own will, when he gets ready to ascend to higher office.

It's the unfortunate, though fully predicted, result of a system of rewards that is not based on merit. Or even decency.

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.

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.
