Congratulations

Well, Obama won tonight. Breaks your heart losing like this as I actually pulled the lever for McCain today. I had voted Libertarian in last four elections but voted Republican today. At least I can say I never voted for Bush, thank goodness. Having said that, I'd like to congratulate the Obama team here in town.

Obama earned the right to be on that victory stage tonight. He was a political Cassius Clay, combining a relentless drive with some incredible natural abilities as he took the fight to the Republicans. Yes, McCain had his chances but he was somewhat outclassed most of the time in this race. Sure, there is a strategy somewhere that might have worked but McCain had to overcome many things: a global financial meltdown, a Bush administration that wore out its welcome with everyone and is despised by liberals and conservatives alike, a Republican party that had little to offer voters, and an opponent that was told voters he wanted to help them build a different world than one currently on the wrong track. Obama showed an ability to learn from his mistakes, was aggressive, and in the fashion of Ronald Reagan, saw the big picture, giving people a reasons to vote FOR him.

Congratulations once again to the Obama team. You outworked and ran rings around the McCain team. Your man earned the right to be called President tonight and for the next four years, he will be President Obama.

Are you really congratulating a guy you called a terrorist and a threat to America?

You should take this opportunity to crawl back into the whole from whence you came.

I called him a terrorist? Where? I just ran a search: Obama, terrorist, and nothing came up. I referred to his supporters a few times as practicing domestic terrorism (and that was mainly in response to some local left wing sites who were accusing Republicans of the same) but I never called him a terrorist. One thing I'm not going to do is turn into a conservative version of the Daily Kos crowd where BDS is the norm.

Before Ladd starts crowing about Obama energizing a tsunami of new first time voters she should read the exit polls carefully. Because he didn't.

Bush polled 62m votes @ 51% on 2004. That wasn't a mandate. Obama has polled 62.4m @ 52%. His "mandate" is equally as thin.

You may not have called him a terrorist, but you changed your Web site name to Alaskan Jambalaya (which was totally stupid)... You linked stories about his supporters being thugs because of a couple of crazies and you hopped on the oh-so-tired Ayres train. And that's just what I saw in the last couple of posts!

Now you want to offer congratulations? Come on.

I don't see you complaining about Folo and JFP referring to Republican domestic terrorism. So until you do, SFTU. I don't see you complaining about the JFP calling Palin "white trash" or trashing her 17 year old daughter.

What Ayers train did I jump on? I don't seem to remember mentioning him. Hmmm...lets run a search of Ayers and see what happens...

WOW!!! I ran a humorous post on G Gordon Liddy and Ayers and showed on CNN report on Ayers. In fact, if you read my post "Open Letter to McCain" I wrote going after Ayers was a bad idea.

Get your facts straight first tool.

Well, one thing is for sure... You sure aren't up on politics. Let's see, you said the polls prior to Election Day were wrong, the exit polls were garbage and you used every single line Fox News fed you on your blog. Plus, apparently, your blog is about Alaska now.

Go back to complaining about the JFP. You obviously ain't up on your national politics.

Kingfish said...

When busted, change the subject.

Quite a few people said exit polls were wrong and there was alot of evidence to support such an assertion. In fact, most of the mainstream media polls were wrong while polls like Rasmussen were accurate. I think the polls being wrong in elections has been documented repeatedly.

Fox? What lines by Fox news did I use? I simply used Morris quotes a few times as he's someone whose opinion I respect as opposed to Rove, who I don't. Michael Barone is a well-respected political analyst regardless of his leanings. Wont apologize for one second for liking his work, not one bit.

And apparently you have no clue why I named it Alaskan Jambalaya. Here in jackson we have a little alternative weekly whose owner went on a tear about Palin after elected, making 20 straight posts on her blog about Palin, showing a clear obsession. I got so tired of that and the crap on KOS etc about Palin I changed the colors and name as a joke.

You really have no sense of humor. LIghten up Francis and quit taking everything so seriously.

Boy, you're the one that seems worked up, Donna. Maybe you should quit taking everything so seriously.

In all seriousness, this blog sucks. It's totally random and hard to follow and the analysis on... just about everything... stinks.

That's actually what I came here to say.

Its a BLOG!!! He can write about whatever he wants to write about.

Absolutely, but most bloggers try to at least be coherent instead of ranting about every little thing. At least the good ones do... Blogging just isn't random crap, you know.

Gotta love the a-holes complaining about this blog. Why do they read if they dislike the product?

I continue to laugh at those complaining about someone's PERSONAL blog. Geesh. If they don't like it, they don't have to read it.

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.
