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.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. 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?

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.

So happy to see this!
If Babychuck isn't locked up, he's going to be reelected again in a landslide.
More proof that Jackson's death spiral is still in effect. The pool of candidates is a cesspool. More of the same.
I don't trust him at all. Another slimy Jackson politician. As part of the Jackson delegation, they would always just do what the mayor wanted. If people have things to share otherwise, I would love to hear it.
Horhn could be just what's needed. So glad that he's in the running.
Got my vote.
He is a better choice.
What would change, if at all?
I like John. BUT, he is kind of the silent leader of the grifter class we need to check up. Antard has burned too many bridges with the churches--he won't get re-elected, no matter how long the Feds sweat him.
10:08 is correct but much to polite! Horne is a racist and grifter ..he and Soc would have a grand ole time running Jax
Horhn has been politicing for a long time and I suppose this is the end of the line for him. Mayor of Jackson is the end of any political career. No one has ever had a political future after taking that dead end job. Nobody. He must be ready to call it quits. Good luck to him.
Horhn has been in office 31 years. Can anyone share where he has made an actual difference?
Career politician - eating out of the public trough for 30 years.
When Choke Way gets thrown into prison, who else will there be on the ballot?
Correction -- this is his fourth time running for mayor.
I was really hoping Brad Lum would run. He is light-years ahead of any of the current candidates.
Do we really want to give the city to a career politician looking for his high four years? Jackson needs someone who made their living outside of government to come turn the city around.
Senator John Horhn is Senator Clay Davis from the Wire.
Senator Horhn needs to become Mayor Horhn. He has been a good senator, but if he is willing to serve in this capacity, we'll gladly take him! He's not a perfect human, but he is immensely qualified for this job. We do not need the vote split among the other unknowns who are running, which is how Chock got reelected the last time, with his embarrassingly low vote totals. Horhn has my vote!!
The only difference between Hornn and Bennie is Bennie has been at the trough one year longer. Or is it vice versa.
Cut from the same cloth as Biden, not a damned one of the three has made a difference in 3 to 6 decades sucking at the taxpayers' tit.
Flyer looks like a home-going obituary
Administering a crippled cash strapped city and shooting the bull in the legislature are two very different things. No more fun and games....
I believe Horhn could turn things around if his heart is in it. He's been a good senator. He's got my vote as well. I guarantee you that business would trickle back in just by losing Lumumba's name from the administration. There's honestly nowhere left to go but up.
I’ll drink to that!
@6:24 PM…speaking of drinking, in 2013 Horhn was pulled over by JPD after the officer observed his car weaving erratically. He mouthed off to the officer, who charged him with DUI. Horhn plead “no contest”, which is technically “guilty”. This happened after he gave a speech on crime earlier that night. So, I suppose he would be as good as anyone else for mayor.
Hell nall, not the town drunkard.
Is this the "do you know who I am" John Horhn of a decade ago?
Third time wasn't; don't imagine that the fourth will be either. Horhn will get roughly the same percentage he has gotten all the other runs.
Jackson is ready for a new face (yes, all you naysayers, Jackson is actually going to do something reasonable at the polls next spring), Of the Bakers dozen that are likely to be in the race by the time qualifying deadline gets here, there will be a couple of new names that will offer a fresh approach rather than just another political hack that wants to feed at the trough funded by taxpayers. (In John's case, its really not so much feeding, but intaking of Patron El Ceilo at the bar -- but still the same concept.)
Encourage everyone considering his candidacy to spend some time reading through the JJ archives for Kingfish's previous John Horhn coverage. There's way more than you probably realize.
Please closely read this story Look who voted to protect child rapists. That is the sort of accountability John Horhn has fought against for three decades in the MS Senate.
It also represents coverage that no other damn journalist in Mississippi reported on except one, Kingfish.
When blacks happen by JJ and read these white folks’ posts saying “he (Horhn) has my vote,” that brings Lamumba just that much closer to re-election. Lamumba has the gig for as long as he wants to run for the office. The only question now is what position he’ll be offered in the new Harris administration taking office come January and whether he’ll accept it.
I suspect Horhn will beat Lumumba out in the Primary. I'm not sanguine on him changing anything.
Whoever is elected, other than the current Mair, the only thing that will change is the list of names of future 'Project Coordinators'.
New truck, high wages, no experience necessary, must be able to use GPS, previous contributions and support required.
Horhn is a decent enough bloke but his problem is he is a follower, not a leader. The only time he led was surprise, the fight against 1020. The legislative votes I've reported have one thing in common: He will always vote with the Black Caucus. Hence he votes against the child rape bill and the third grade reading gate bill. He will never stand what he thinks is the majority opinion in the Black Community. Period. If he became Mayor, you would probably see his administration staffed with retreads from earlier administrations, administrations that helped run the city into the ground. Could hire more capable people from the surrounding areas who are experienced and competent but well, that wouldn't play well in Jackson and WMPR, now would it?
Thank you @11:41 PM. What an eye opener to start my Friday. I've only been reading Jackson Jambalaya for 6-7 years but reached the conclusion long ago that we are blessed to have Mr. Kingfish doing the work that nobody will. Kudos to you Mr. Kingfish.
I honestly think he would make good mayor. He has good relationships with both sides of the isle. But that wasn’t apparent in his press conference. He had crooked Crudup introduce him and called pedophile “pastor” Danny Hollins a long-time friend. And you can’t tell his ego that’s a bad way to kick off his campaign.
@kingfish to be fair, he hasn’t really been in a leadership position. He’s just one vote in the senate and has to play to the base to keep the numbers together. He Has had quietly parted with the base on a number of issues. Delbert also expanded his district and appointed him to key chair which he took a lot of heat for. As mayor, ( assuming the form of government stays the same) you’ll see more of his chops and hopefully be pleasantly surprised.

Very little difference between Lil Choke and Horhn. Like jumping from the pot to the frying pan. Only a successful business leader can turn Jackson around.
Democrat Delbert Hosemann shoved Horhn down the throats of a heap of Madison County Republicans in order to save NEJackson from the same fate. WON'T be forgotten Hosemann.
With your negative comments, first, if you are not from Jackson, back off. Second, no matter where you're from, just stop. We have GOT to get Lumumble OUT OF HERE!
Stokes said he would run but only if his kids supported it.
