AWOL!

 The Hinds County Board of Supervisors were supposed to hold its regular meeting this morning.  However, no meeting was held because three supervisors did not show up.  No quorum, no meeting.  

That's right,  Bobcat, Tony the Tigerettes, and Debbie Does Dixon stayed home while Wanda Evers and the Robert Graham showed up to do the people's business.

Off the subject, but please investigate the mayor's plan to built a 60 room village for the homeless. This from a group that can't manage a library, much less a village for the "residence challenged".

Honk for the Mayor! said...

We're probably better off with them not meeting at all.

They’re pretty much AWOL whether they’re there or not.

Maybe they are at a convention in Paris. It could happen. Right?

The jobs simply don't pay enough and there's no refreshments served at the meetings. At least a little champagne and finger snacks. They are HINDS COUNTY supervisors after all!

I WAS wrong. It CAN get worse!!

Most other cities would demand better.

Heck, I almost applaud the voters in Jackson for saying "this is genuinely all we deserve" as they re-elect them over and over.

It's refreshing to see such self-awareness.

4:32, this board has turned over significantly over the last several terms, and not for the better. Three new supervisors this term. Two new ones last term. Who would have thought that re-electing the old supes would have been a good thing?

This is a good thing, if they are not there they can’t f*** things up anymore than they already are.

Four day weekend.

They were meeting with Bennie. Seems to me they know who is calling the shots in HindsCo.

Slow news day?

Dixon had told them she would not be there, due to an earlier committment to this rescheduled meeting. Smith and Bobcat called in at the last minute because they didn't want to be on record with the votes to be taken. Not unusual for one member to be gone due to schedule conflicts (thank you KF for throwing all into the boiling vat of incompetence without checking on details first) especially when the meeting date has been changed at the last minute.

Frankly, I don't give a damn about the crazy woman from south Jackson, but don't throw her into the same vat of boiling tar with these others; if she had been present the result would have been the same; she's generally right in there with Graham and Evers on the vote - just like it was previously with Calhoun, Bobcat and Gavin. Swap Gavin-Evers; swap Dixon-Calhoun; keep Graham. What you get is still three two, just now reversed. Bobcat stuck out on his on; quesion is what/where Tony Smith (successor to Archie and part of the Graham two-step) goes.

This was a continued meeting; KF's bitch about who's not there taking care of the pubic's business is off track. IMO whenever these groups don't meet, its a plus for all us taxpayers. At least they weren't spending our tax dollars, instead adjourning!!!!!!

Bobcat - You're the supervisor for our district. You were barely reelected this last time. We are watching you, taking note of what you are doing and not doing to represent our district. You're on increasingly thin ice with us.

You need to show up at meetings, return OUR PHONE CALLS to you, and serve us, the voting community who you are supposed to serve.

There are only a handful of people who could have inside scoop like 10:41. Please keep us in the loop on what’s going on with our BOS.

5:23 it matters not if the supe is "new or old".
They re-elect iterations of the same man over and over.
Perhaps the degree of depravity varies slightly, but all crooks.
And that is what they deserve based on their own selection.

Nothing to see here. The real boss called a meeting and that takes priority.

Hold a fish fry and release some balloons - they’ll show up!

I'm just glad I'm up in Madison County where there is superior, competent governm....Wait....What the hell was I thinking?

Will they make it back from Paris in time for the next meeting?

So if they were meeting with Bennie, what was THAT meeting about?

Anonymous said...

One was at a function down south with Bennie - that had been scheduled for that Tuesday for several weeks, and when the date of the meeting was changed to Tuesday, everyone knew she would be absent. (Not unusual for one every now and then not being present - that's been normal in Hinds and other counties since time immmemoral.) Missing a meeting is not a cardinal sin; what happened here though was something different; two of them 'called in sick' at the last minute after Graham put on the agenda an item to take back money approved by the 'old' board last year and they were against it; thought their being absent would keep it from happening.

All for naught, though. Any meeting that gets recessed due to the absence of a quorum continues to the next day, and Ms. Dixon was present and Graham could bring up his money issues. Thing is though, didn't he violate his own new rule, that anything to be voted on has to be discussed at the Work Session? Only a couple of those items he was taking the money back from were discussed last Tuesday; somehow the list grow longer over the intervening seven days.

Keep it coming 5:23. Thank you!

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.
