The Jambalaya Podcast: Richard Grant
New York Times best-selling author Richard Grant appeared on the podcast back in September when he was in town for the Mississippi Book Festival. The scribe of Dispatches from Pluto was promoting his new book, A Race to the Bottom of Crazy, Dispatches from Arizona. He talked about facing gunmen in the Sierra Madre, Natchez history, why he moved from Mississippi, the Apaches, and some of the more colorful parts of Arizona history. Enjoy the episode.

Meet Chicageaux Mayor Brandon Johnson, a true idiot. The school system is broke but no matter. The Mayor wants the school board to approve a 10% pay raise for teachers, housing assistance, and other goodies that would add to the $500 million deficit projected for next year. How dumb is this Mayor? He wants the public school district to, wait for it, take out a $300 million loan to cover the increased payroll. He has a simple defense for his stupidity: slavery. Yup, if you stand up to government foolishness, you support slavery.
Help is on the Way for Thalia Mara Hall
Update: The agenda item was apparently worded poorly. The City Council voted to approve paying CTEH for services rendered, not remediation of the "microbial growth." Deputy Cultural & Services Director Mike Williams said the city received several proposals for remediation Friday and will soon present a contract to the City Council for approval.
The Jackson City Council will approve a contract for remediation services at Thalia Mara Hall today. The agenda for today's City Council meeting states:

"While we were watching round her bed, She turned her eyes and looked away,She saw what we couldn't see; She saw Old Death. She saw Old Death Coming like a falling star. But Death didn't frighten Sister Caroline; He looked to her like a welcome friend. And she whispered to us: I'm going home, And she smiled and closed her eyes."* The late Dr. Frank Pollard recited the James Weldon Johnson poem as he preached on living through death.

Palermo, Sicily— Travel has a way of opening the world, peeling back the layers of the familiar, and revealing the extraordinary. It’s something that grabbed hold of me 13 years ago when I first took my wife, my then 14-year-old daughter, and my 10-year-old son on an adventure of a lifetime. We flew to Sweden, bought a Volvo, and embarked on a six-month journey through 72 cities, 17 countries, and two continents. Somewhere along that trip, Italy called, and I flew my buddy Wyatt over. Together, we wrote a book. And what started as an exploration of places and flavors became the foundation of my side-gig today—guiding others through the European cities, towns, landscapes and experiences that have captivated me.

Trollfest '09
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
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.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
