Off the subject.....SORRY. I am just wondering why hardly ANYBODY comments on the JFP site (well the same predictable hacks over and over), and this one (JJ) stays "lit up"?

for what office?

Who the hell will MHB support since she opposed Hall last time and Johnson is her devil incarnate?

Kingfish said...

I don't think she will be getting too involved in any such races this time around since her husband is not well.

The word this weekend that Butch Brown is cancer-free helps Dick Hall -- had Brown's cancer gotten worse, the timing of his firing would have followed Hall into the campaign. Maybe not as an actual ISSUE, but just a negative undercurrent of "tacky."

That said, Brown IS cancer-free, and Tim Johnson is a tool. Hall's years in the Leg as a loyal Republican soldier, and his High Noon-like battles with the MDOT Trifecta will be remembered by most R's. All most people remember about Tim Johnson is angry TV appearances and Elvis.

I predict Hall with 60%+ of the vote.

Johnson is a Dick.........wait, what?

Tim Johnson is an awful supervisor, who acts defensively when confronted about how he handles taxpayers dollars. He is a terrible candidate!!! I will not vote for him and would advise anyone considering donating to his campaign to read up on some of his antics as supervisor!! Lets stop voting scumsuckers into run our government!!!

Dick Hall has to be doing cartwheels to have gained such a weak opponent.

Treat me like a fool...treat me mean and cruel...so lonely... I'll be sad and blue...cryin' over you...

Tim Johnson should stick to rhinestones and the Geritol crowd.

Thank you, thank you very much.

He wants to give his buddy Rudy "Super Mullet" Warnock and his attorney Eric Hamer more government contracts that they won't oversee. This will be the most entertaining year in Mississippi politics. Elvis needs to leave the building.

I thought you had to be a Republican to qualify as a Republican? Tim Johnson's website say's that he promotes open government. HA what a frickin' joke. He would not even give the people of Madison County a public hearing when they asked for it. He will screw things up if he touches it.

Let's see the city of Madison passed a resolution last year calling for Mr. Johnson's resignation as supervisor. Maybe that is why he did not run again for supervisor because he would have gotten beat!!! will Rudy finance his campaign with all the money Tim has allowed him to make with the county!!! Dick Hall will beat Tim like a drum, because he has integrity and leadership and he has fought the whole good ole boy regime at MDOT!! Tim Johnson is a joke!!! Elvis should leave the building and the state!!!

Regardless, there is no reason to vote against Dick Hall. The man has done a good job and will most likely continue to do so.

Dick Hall in a landslide.....

Dick Hall seems to have thin skin and a chip on his shoulder. He is not a leader, IMO.
I will not vote for him.

Dick Hall single-handedly saved the taxpayers of Madison County over $20 million on the ridiculous Reunion Parkway interchange at I-55. Why would anyone vote for his opponent, the man who tried to pull off this local tax money grab.

Anonymous said...

Let me get this right? Elvis went out and told the good taxpaying citizens in Madison County that we need to borrow MILLIONS of their hard earned money to build the Madison Reunion Interchange (with county money-not federal dollars-which by the way is unheard of), could not come up with a way to fund it completely without going to the taxpayers again and tried to impose a 6.33 mil increase (3 mils behind closed doors-ha…didn’t work Elvis), took multiple trips to Washington to lobby our Representatives with his buddy Rudy Warnock and still could come up with the money (still didn’t work Elvis).

Then changes his mind saying that he won’t allow MDOT to oversee the project, takes the money and puts in toward other things that no one can tell you it went to, then decides to sue MDOT because he stopped the job.

How is this cutting through red tape? How about Parkway East? How’s that working for you?

The citizens of Madison County are left holding $42,000,000 (YES, MILLION) on that one. Over $100,000,000 MILLION Dollars and what do we have to show for it?

A few new roads that no one travels in North Madison County?

10:00 Any chance Tim will be running his campaign from a jail cell? Sounds like it's time for the feds to start investigating MadCo again.....

I'd love to replace Dick Hall but not with this clown/crook.

This is a Morton's Fork if there ever was one:-(

Anonymous said...

I wouldn't be surprised if this is a tag team effort. That Johnson is meant to weaken Hall and deplete his resources a bit in the primary so Warnock can make another run at him in the general. Suppose we'll see in the coming days. Either way, it won't work.

Anonymous said...

for the JPS grads: Morton's Fork is similar to a Hobson's Choice, or a Catch-22 situation.


I wonder why the JFP blogs don't attract such erudite contributors ;-)

Ya know, you look at candidates like Johnson, Warnock, and--well, heck, every elected official I can think of in the Mad County--and you wonder. On some level, they have to know that they're unfit for public office. Morally, intellectually--unfit in every way.

Wouldn't you think there would be something in these people that gives them pause before seeking a position of public trust? Yet they continue to run and win.

Will the sheep ever awaken?

KF, Any updates on the State Auditor's report on Madison County?

Anonymous said...

Why is Madison's version of the Little Rascals so interested in this position, and what do they have to gain from it? Have they sucked all the money they can from Madison County and need to expand their territory? First Spanky ran and lost, now Alfalfa is throwing his hat in there. Will Darla be in the running next go around?

The little dog with a circle around his eye has a better chance of getting my vote than either of these losers.

Madison county politics are a joke. The road department is horrible, no leadership.Tax accessor gouging citizens out of every penny on values in hard times , all to be wasted on people lobbyist and special groups like Warnock. Supervisor do nothing. Taxpayer not getting nothing but more shady politics. Its sad for Madison County. Ha Ha dumb tax payers of Madison County I moved to Rankin County where we have real Public Servers trying to better our county unlike Madison County politician linen there personal pockets. Donald Trump is right from Washington to town halls to counties we need successful people, not crooks. Good luck taxpayers of madison county

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.
