The living wage in Hinds County is $8.93 hourly.

The Jackson Free Press pays below the living wage @ $8 hourly. Ain't a whole lotta local shopping at those Fondren boutique shoppes gettin' done rolling in that much green. Just sayin' sweetheart. ;-o

Doesn't one of those extra tall fat- free tofu lattes cost more than $8?

Oh, the humanity.

Typical Ladd. Do as she says, not as she pays.

Thank you for bringing this up! I picked up one of their recent issues, and it was themed, shop local. Ok, good so far. Into the issue, there's an article comparing local stores vs Kroger vs Walmart, etc. And how much of your spent $ remained in the community at the local stores, and how the chains invested little back. First of all, it was bogus and not researched well. They claimed WM invested -0-, however, I know better than that for a fact.

So, then I'm looking down the list at where I should shop to be a good citizen....and I think, man! I'm not shopping there. Be damned if I'm paying nearly twice for the same stuff over here.

I hate it that the locals need more business, and if I had a ton of discretionary income, it would be different. Has word not gotten around to JFP that there's a bit of economic upheaval going on? People need info on how to SAVE money, not spend more! It was a ridiculous, ridiculous issue. One of their all time worst. Rant over.

I prefer Kroger. Better selection, lower prices, better service. I'm in McDades every day almost so I'm very familiar with it. Poorly run store and whoever orders inventory could do a much better job. Example? What is most popular of Paul Prudhomme's seasonings? Blackened redfish? Think they carry it? nope. but the do carry the pork magic, vegetable magic, chicken magic, etc. Everything but the most popular one and that is just one exmaple.

Wanted to save money so I looked for some energy saving outdoor floodlights. DIdn't even carry them. Oops, that means Kroger or walmart just to be green.

Ever notice at various walmarts around the south local products are sold? So I guess those vendors should be subject to a boycott. I also bet Walmart offers more benefits to its employees than does the local hardware store or McDades.

what is even funnier is watching the JFP take up the cause of the Pelosi health care bill. Guess they don't realize its going to make THEM offer health insurance to their employees that aren't free interns or how it will affect their preferred local businesses. Of course wal mart is for it, its going to burden their competitors with more costs but they don' think that far ahead because Krugman didn't tell them to think about it.

Kroger has a better selection than Walmart for groceries but not better everyday prices. BUT if you leverage the weekly Kroger ad sales and Walmart everyday pricing and clip coupons you can do lower than 100% Walmart shopping.

I shop for 7 every week. I know. Donna Ladd is clueless. Thank goodness she is childless.

And now a word from local visionary, activist, mogul, developer, progressive pontificator, parenting expert and all-around know-it-all Brad Franklin as he takes a few minutes out of his busy, busy day to bash a local Fondren restaurant business and their clientele.

Brad Franklin: "Uhhh. Schimmels is ugly stoop stoopidy stupid packed! Yikes!"

Who needs the people of the suburbs to diss Jackson when it is ProJack to just do it yourself. Way to go Brad.

That's the truth ... sho-nuff!

Brad should really lay off the cartoons for a while. When you start twitting like Scoobie, it's time to put the 'toons down, man.

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.
