Jackson Garbage Collection Delayed

 The city of Jackson issued the following statement.

Due to recent storms, trash pickup will be delayed today. Strong winds caused a temporary power outage att he Waste Management transfer station. This is preventing the transfer of trash collections. Crews are currently working to restore power and Richard’s Disposal will resume service as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience.

O no! What will we do?

Have you ever noticed the least little intervention, of whatever type or cause, will shut down
one of Jackson's municipal obligations?

ROFLMAO. Not may be delayed, will be delayed.

Administrative impotence = The Story of Chowkey Antard Lumumba.

So, Richard's isn't even a fully independent contractor for waste disposal services? Go figure.

Dump the trash on the ground. Nobody in Jackson will notice the difference.

60K a month in IT service should have them fixed up in no time .

So, I guess thunderstorms are the new excuse for everything. I wonder if I can sell that BS to my employer??

@10:50 AM I'm pretty sure Jackson IT has nothing to do Entergy's electric service.

Figured this fell under Business as Usual.

Jackson is lost.

I wont say 'get out while you can' because that notion is too silly to type at this point of the death spiral.

It’s not their fault, we had a quarter of an inch rain last week. Everything else seems to be working, except
1. Roads are undrivable.
2. Murder ranks number one in the country.
3. Deserted houses are overgrown with weeds and other wild growth.
4. You can’t drive at night for fear of getting run over by drag racers.
5. Electricity is sporatic at best.
6. City swimming pools look like sewage treatment plants, and who knows, they might be.
7. The water is unusable because of raw sewage being dumped in it.
8. I don’t believe there is a livable hotel or motel in the city limits. When one of the network pre football game teams filmed at the stadium across from the Univ. Med. Center, they were obviously informed as they commuted from Pearl.


Other than these and other “minor inconveniences”, I can’t think of any reason to visit and stay in the Capitol city.

Feel better now? Was all that just pent up inside waiting to get out? Or are you the poster who has to repeat it over and over again?

Richards is picking up in Eastover at 1 pm. Grabbed everything I put out!

Repeating Lil Choke's "short" comings may cause the little emperor to celebrate marxist triumphs, but if accurately described, may get his base to question his competency enough to try a different mayor.

Perhaps KF might inform this site if the COJ has a role in clearing fallen trees that prevent Lift Truck crews from repairing poles and lines, thereby indicting boy mayor with yet more incompetence, ruining the quality of life in Jackson by not quickly and effectively removing fallen trees, slowing repairs from hours to days.

Unfortunately, Lil Choke can't hire and keep competent staff nor pay his bills on time, thereby running potential contractors away. Jackson, the fastest shrinking city in America, circles the drain.

10:50 you beat me to IT ! ( no pun intended )

Mine got picked up earlier than usual today in NE Jackson.

I can’t put my finger on it but “recent storms” sounds like an excuse. I didn’t have electricity for over a week after Hurricane Katrina, but Waste Management picked up the garbage.

In the Madison city limits Waste Management comes by on the same day each week within the same three hour window, week in and week out, and picks up all the properly organized yard waste and storm debris that you put to the street.

MHB is one seriously (and highly) competent Mayor!

I am not the Jackson-is-lost harpy but it is odd that KF does not get his knickers in a twist when "Brandon is lost" or "Madison is lost".

Odd that it is ok to use that same sentence against the burbs but it is somehow revolting for Jackson to hear it.

Anonymous said...

11 32 you are correct, as Entergy is pathetic in their entire service area, and not just in Jackson.

Lucky Chuck has Waste Management to blame.

4:21,
Kingfish mistakenly thinks it’s just one person saying the same thing. Instead, it’s a large number of people saying the same thing. He chooses to silence them. Why? He’s more worried about getting RINOs like Delbert to buy another political ad.

Jackson is overwhelmingly black. The white vote is largely Republican and meaningless. Jackson will not improve until black voters actually go to the polls and elect a mayor who is not corrupt and has a brain. I hope they will. Soon.

$:21pm has a confusing post, aye.
Rankin and Madison have successful growing economies that efficiently control (not eliminate) crime and expand their economic base, as their taxpayers expect, whereas Jackson has rampant, uncontrolled crime, a national record in per capita murders and shrinking population and a marxist elitist mayor who can only attract sub-par garbage companies, dollar stores, exploitive check cashing/ paycheck loan sharks, one-hour motel ho houses and hair/nail parlors.

See the difference?

The heat is getting hotter. The next problem Jackson will blame on the heat. They already said cold, rain, wind, crime, poor roads, potholes, missing manhole covers, nonworking signal lights, is racist. Why should heat be given a pass?

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.

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.
