So long sad times
Go long bad times
We are rid of you at last

Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past

Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again

Music and Lyrics by J. Yellen and M. Ager

President McQuirter is the Anti-Stokes. And I'm happy to see that Ms. Hobson-Calhoun is right behind him. At this point, anyone in Stokes' position might look to take a job in the private sector, but who would have him? Graham will sulk, then reinvent himself, but I will never trust him based upon the Airwave scandal alone.

Graham reinvent himself? Gimme a break. He's nothing but a fraud.

Stowers and Hargrove better hope Precious gives them a job doing janitorial work.

Please go into more detail describing the "Stokes not happy" for those of us unable to be there.

I hope somebody has the sense to call for an audit before things begin to vanish!

Well Graham you can always impersonate a Lieutenant of the Jackson Police Department.

The bad thing about a rotation for President is that eventually it will be Stokes turn. Hopefully he is ousted by then or sulks and quits. District 5 better wake up and vote differently next election. Having attending some meetings, his agenda has never included any district 5 concerns. I'll bite my tongue now.

Stokes is the only one willing to question things and challenge them. The others just sit there and look stupid. I realize how much of a pain Stokes can be,but at least he is asking questions,as oppose to just saying "yes" to things that affect the citizens of Hinds county.

I know I'm dense, so please don't point it out; but, will someone explain the magic of 9.5 month rotation. At first glance I see that it's impossible to start and complete a full fiscal year, every fiscal year will be presided over by at least two supervisors, nobody can be held accountable at the end of the year for something he pushed at the beginning of the year...

@2:46, You are clueless. Stokes questions are idiotic and most times irrelevant to what is going on but as long as he is on the take he might as well sit there and look like a buffoon with stupid questions. Faking the people into believing that he is actually contributing instead of doing harm that the county cannot afford. His talking points and his questions very rarely have anything to do with his district and the voice of his constituents of district 5. That my friend is dereliction of duty and if he were in the corporate world would have been fired a long time ago. Hell, he probably couldn't get hired in the private sector. And as for your misguided knowledge, it wasn't until McQuirter and Greer got elected that the tough questions started getting asked. McQuirter has already asked that Hinds county contracts be reviewed and Stokes opposed the vote. Greer has already asked questions in regards to the jail and maintenance work. Greer also brought up the board President question which was also opposed by Stokes. Stokes said something about a law that a team of lawyers couldn't find. The first month on the job for the new supes and the slush fund was gone. Congrats to newly elected President Mcquirter.

Where have you been 2:46? Certainly not listening to what has been going on in the county of Hinds. There are truely no words to describe the unruly, ignorant,outbursts that we have tolerated from Stokes. He has taken decent people and thrown them under the bus and never blinked his eyes, and you know why, they weren't his buddy or crony, the right color, or, there was nothing in it for him! He has said "yes" plenty of times to the ones that were. Stokes has been a pain alright, one that along with his Lieutenant friend has almost killed this county.
But you know I really kinda feel it is unecessary now to say all the bad things about them because you know what, it has all come back around and they are reaping what they have sown.It is truely a new day in the county of Hinds, and we now have a fighting chance. I thank GOD that their greedy voices have basically been silenced.

Sounds like transparency to me.

My guess is that there are 5 superintendents and they have 4 year (staggered)terms. In order for each to have a chance to preside over the board their term as president would be 9.5 months (48 months / 5 supes = 9.6 months). Like I said, thsi is just my guess.

Wrong. You must be a JPS grad.

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.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

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.
