The Idiot Speaks

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.  Chiss proverb.

Town idiot Tariq Adbul-Tawwab Skyhook is at it again on the Grifter Network podcast.  Check out his latest bout of foolishness. 

@socgarrett Jackson's slow progress vs. new mayor's street paving speed. Where's the transparency in this sudden rush? #LocalPolitics #Development #CityLife #Transparency #GovernmentWatch ♬ original sound - Socrates Garrett


Transcript 

 Walking around downtown you see guppies, with their children on their neck, moving around. Why you couldn't move through Jackson with your children on your neck? Why couldn't you enjoy Jackson that same way? Why is it that within a month, all of State Street, all of downtown's getting paved beautifully? We all know a—a—a Request for Proposal don't take no month. You can't get a request for proposal in a month. How can you start paving and fixing all of downtown within 30 days of a new mayor? They think you're stupid!


Actually, Skyhook is the one who is stupid.  There is a simple explanation for what took place and it did not involve any chicanery by the Mayor.  

The CCID is repaving North State Street from Fortification Street to Capitol Street.  Get that? The STATE is paying for the roadwork.  CCID did indeed go through the bidding and funding process before the project began "within 30 days of a new mayor" as Skyhook put it.  

The city did indeed pave South State Street from Capitol Street to Tombigbee last fall in preparation for the National Folk Festival.  However, nothing nefarious occurred.  The city has a contract with Hinds County for roadwork.  The city farmed out the job to the county.  The county in turn has a term contract with a construction company.  Thus all the city had to do was place the roadwork order with the county, which transferred the order to the contractor.  Work done, case closed.  

Of course, such facts mean little when you are foaming at the mouth as is Skyhook.   Dumbass.

Heaven forbid anything governmental services related be done with cost-effectiveness, efficiency and competency. No, this fool demands that it be done with a helping of grift and race-based payoff or it's not legitimate. F@ck this guy and the shetland pony he rode in on.

If it wasn’t for the state and Hinds County, there would be no paved roads in Jackson. That’s sad. Speaking of Hinds County, this new board has managed to stay out of the news. That’s commendable.

He resorts to race baiting bc he’s too stupid to achieve anything on his own. He can’t even think for himself

Not for lack of trying as KF has covered (Grizell trying to ban datacenters in Jackson).

Why are so much of my tax dollars funding Jackson? I'm not a resident but I pay for the Capitol police, road paving, water dept, etc. Will Jackson pay to run my City? When is that scheduled?

That is why Jackson will continue to be a shit hole city. It’s really pathetic that the city’s leaders can’t just do what’s best for the residents of Jackson.

I am curious about the use of words, like idiot, in social media. Does anyone know of a situation where the idiot sues for defamation?

Good luck proving damages.

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.

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.
