This is like the Titanic getting a new captain after striking the iceberg.
Gala attendees can relieve themselves of Lumumbilious excretions at Thalia Mara balconies for a modest premium. TP rustic, imprinted with former mayor's bearded visage.
A new broom always sweeps clean, especially one that has a black handle.
The King is dead. Long live the King.
Why isn't wlbt talking about inauguration, the other 2 tv stations are?
WLBT Morning broadcast detailed the events and times.
Cant speak to the written/website, but they spoke often of it.
Metal detectors at all entrances.
So attendees leave their gats in their vehicles in Jackson. Easy pickings...
New mayor (career politician), same as old mayor. In six months y'all will agree.
Governor Tate Reeves is expected to be among the attendees at the oath of office swearing in ceremony per WLBT. If that's the case, I don't remember a Republican governor attending a Mayoral Democrat swearing in ceremony ever in recent memory. That is literally a middle finger to the outgoing administration. It's a new day and opportunity for the Capital City.
Very appropriate for the new Mair to have a cash bar at his inaugural event. If only our 'resident cartoonist' would touch that one.
With the 4th of July coming up on Friday they could extend the inaugural party until Sunday night and just declare the whole week a big holiday. Who's going to work anyway? In Jackson?
Will there be a DUI checkpoint nearby?
Clown car reload.
No skewering of Dems.
All you suburbanites predicting a repeat of the isolationism/radicalism of the last 8 years are in for a surprise.
I'm sure all these Fs have downloaded the COJ's parking app.
In their defense they have 30 years of precedence to lean on.
The prediction is for a paucity of bonafide results. Horhn won't get no blank check from the Legislature. Bank on that. When it comes to the truly hard decisions you'll see more punts than touchdowns.
And the new captain is blind.
Last best day of entire upcoming mayoral term for a bureaucrats' bureaucrat who depends on government programs and grants for revenue, not actual free market growth of City GDP.
Mayor John redux of Mayor Johnson will not be a surprise.
*Fs is for "Fools", aye. Those parking app meters could be fixed by a front end loader on a quick tractor in 45 minutes after midnight.
What is going to become of "The Sistas of Rukia" and the Po Folks Coalition?
Although my belief is 9:21, 10:00, and 11:20 are correct, I hope I'm wrong and 10:27 is right.
Time will tell.
The Titantic had a fatal wound-
