Jackson Jambalaya

To me the most ironic thing is the ad for the Roller Derby girls on the same page, “…with part of the proceeds to benefit the JFP Chick Ball and the Domestic Violence Intervention Center, “

Too bad Heather Spencer won’t be able to benefit from it.

go down in flames, and she took that literally??

Hey do you think if I told Ms Ladd to get thick skin she'd drive to Rainbow and get skin growing pills?

Ladd and Carroll, cats and dogs. I get that. But what is the connection between their longstanding dislike of each other and this election crap Carroll and his unnamed cohorts are perpetrating?

There is a certain level of vitriole reserved just for him. Although Wyatt is getting up there when all he has done is be a nice guy to people.

Are you saying that Ladd's reaction to the secrecy and tactics of the Better Jackson PAC is overkill?

I read the letter and it was so over dramatic on Ladd’s part. She’s such a hypocrite. Lange put her in her place.

I love the JFP! I always keep a copy or two in my bathroom in case I run out of TP.

I like to line the bottom of my kitchen garbage can with it. It absorbs all of the fat. And it's great for house-training a new puppy, because it actually attracts &@$% and pee! It's amazing how well it does that. Just read all of these comments. It really works!

The Jackson Free Press... They don't call it a "rag" for nothing! Keep up the cappy work!

Crappy! I meant crappy!

Not many people but political junkies here know who wilson is. She wouldve been better off keeping attention on it as a pro-crisler mailer.

I promise I am not trolling or trying to be redundant BUT...Can anyone please tell me why people pay attention to Donna Ladd?

That's a very good question, Anon 8:12. Why do I care about what Donna Ladd says?

I don't like someone who leaves MS swearing never to return coming back in their later and wiser years on a mission to educate us poor backward folks on what's wrong with MS and how it needs to be fixed. That's how Ray Mabus lost his re-election bid, and it's one reason why Donna Ladd draws so much criticism.

OThers have to do with her constant trumpeting on her own exalted opinion of herself and on her constant need to define herself as the toughest reporter on the beat when she won't touch truly controversial stories anymore herself--she lets Adam, Ronni, or Ward do them.

Others include her exploitation of people and issues for her own benefit--from her use of Frank Melton to publish on the national scene to writers and interns so desperate to get into print that they let her use their work without pay.

I could go on, but those are the highlights.

Anyone who knows knows that Schizo and Jane have alot of creds in Jacktown. Just sayin'. :-o

I just don't get it.

It is so amusing seeing how DONNA LADD intimidates these mental midgets.

9:23, I don't know anyone who is intimidated. I just read people taking her seriously, which is beyond my comprehension.

It is like taking Rush or Michael Moore seriously. Why?

I think she is ridiculous and can never admit when she is wrong. I avoid the JFP like the swine flu.

Obviously Donna Ladd is very important to y'all or you wouldn't be obsessively blogging about her all the time. If somebody who wasn't from Jackson read this blog, they'd have to conclude she was either mayor or Pope.

or so in love with herself that she just has to defend the posts on this site as 'Anonymous said...'

Michael, to clear it up, I wrote

8:12, 8:48, and 10:17.

Is there a purpose for this post and comments?

Donna Ladd does not intimidate me. She and I disagree on a great many things, and I think various outlets staying on her case keeps her from overreaching as much as she did when she first came into town. Just like King needs to apologize when he gets it wrong, she needs to be called to account on what goes on in her publication.

Intimidated? Nope. I'm just disgusted. I was disgusted when her rag referred to Mississippi as the "Mexico of the USA", trashed Leah Rupp on several occasions because she was jealous, tried to smear Marshall Ramsey with the dreaded P word, the way she trashes Wyatt Emmerich when all he has ever done is be nice to every one around him. Wyatt will publish any column as long as its well written and not inflammatory, slanderous, etc. He will publish something by Hanchey and is Lambumba or whatever his name of the week is submitted one well-written, he would publish it as well. Its called he believes in free speech, not just publishing only those that share his opinion. He one time published a column by me slamming Swan Yerger, generated no less than twelve angry letters and he caught heat for it, didn't matter, he backed me up. But to her, he is a klukker. Then there is Miki Dickoff, award winning film producer and one of the loveliest people I've ever met who earned a screaming fit from Ladd because she dared to produce a film about Neshoba. Then there is Ladd's obsession with Sarah Palin. More than 15 posts in a row about Palin. Anyway, no intimidation, just sick of it.

I made this post because outside of a few people or political junkies, not many people are going to know who the hell Wilson carroll is. I keep up with this stuff and all I know about the guy is he ran for DA against Faye and is a lawyer. Thats about it. If she was trying to help Harvey, she's better off going after the PAC and how its Pro-Crisler instead of getting hung up on Wilson Carroll. I'm guessing it is so just so he could burn her up a little and she had some proof. There is a history of animosity between those two and I thought it was relevant to bring it up. He once dated one of her friends for a while a loooooooooong time ago, it didn't work out, and I imagine it has something to do with it. Its clear she hates the guy and I thought i would give you guys some of the reasons why.

Projack covered the flyer on this site and didn't get into all the Carrol bashing, he just pointed out the PAC, the flyer's claims, and made it look like the trash it was. What Ladd failed to realize is no one really pays attention to these mailers. I get them, they go in the trash without even reading them. Instead, she relished the excuse to go after Wilson Carrol.

I'm glad we got that all straightened out. Any more questions on why Ladd ain't popular in certain circles? I think KF addressed it eloquently, if not so succinctly.

Not disputing anything you wrote but this. Wilson's back room political dirty tricks and readiness to use any means necessary to achieve election ends runs a might wee bit deeper than the white wash these two sentences works to paint. You need to learn more about him and how he plays the game. He isn't some boy scout nor, to his credit, does he pretend to be.

Not disputing what you said. Its just that it means nothing to 90 percent or more of the people who read it

Funny that two guys from Greenwood could get on Ms.Ladd's bad side.

I am a part of the Better Jackson PAC. There is nothing secretive about it. I will have a column in this week's Northside Sun commenting on this non-event that has the JFP so exercised.

There goes my respect for you Sanders. Always thought of you as better than that. Spin it any way you wish. I don't give a damn. Asshole.

Flyers like this come out all the time in races. I may not like them, but I fail to see why the sky should be about to fall out over them.

When it comes to shrieking idiots at the JFP, you could line them up and march them four abreast into the sea forever.

I know of what I speak.

That flyer is a whole lot better than the trash the Harvey campaign has on the streets. Geez. Trash!

Email the flyers to me. I'm going to publish them Wed. I have a couple already.

David, email me the column and I'll run it on here. I think Mr. Emmerich will let me do it since I appear on his editorial page sometimes. It would be nice to have it out before the election.

Why wait until Wednesday?

Because I don't want to take something sleazy and spread it around.

am still thinking about it but I'm leaning towards waiting until after the election.

Expose the sleazeballs after the fact? How does that help?

Because that is what they want, to spread the message far and wide. I'm not going to help them in that end.

Am I right in thinking that if you were going to support a candidate like you did with Robert Johnson you'd write an endorsement here on your website?

Is someone impersonating you on Othor Cain's website?

If you read Tony Geiger's numerous posts you'll get it.

Wyatt is a jealous master. (Oops, I didn't mean "master" in the sense HJ uses it.) He wants it to premier in the Sun

Emmerich zealously protects his first run Klukker columns. He's got quite the lineup over there.

David: Just got permission from da man if you want to send me an abridged version to me. I just thought if I could put it up here. Plus if it goes up here, someone over in Fondren will not use it as an excuse to attack you guys even more as she will not acknowledge my existence.

So are you calling me a klukker, 12:16?

He prints pretty much everyone's column if its decently written. A radical black muslim could get a column printed there as long as it was well-written and not slanderous.

Now as for hanchey, look up his myspace some time.

Not you KF. The other Klukkers. Plural. Sanders included.

Wow. Sign off for thirty minutes and see the thread light up. You've got a tiger by the tail here, King. Keep it up.

Klukkers need love, too.

Where's the column Sanders?

I sent it to Kingfish. I don't know what he plans to do with it.

I've got it. I'm going to put up an abridged copy of it tomorrow. Already made a bunch of posts for today and this isn't THAT earth-shaking.
