And so it begins

Huggie Bear said Mitch Tyner qualified to run for Public Service Commissioner as a Republican. Huh?

Will soon-to-be-former state senator Sojourner be his campaign manager?

He might as well run for office. After that performance representing McDaniel, he probably doesn't have much of a future in the practice of law.

Just more evidence he's lost his mind.

At least he's now aware of the deadline for filing a challenge once he loses.

Just call him John Arthur Eaves. Built his law practice by unsuccessfully running for political office.

Feeling really sorry for this gentleman; not sure if he realizes the extent of embarrassment he caused for himself and McDaniel.

So, someone associated with an ideology that opposes gov't regulation, wants a job enforcing those regulations vs utilities?

Grifters gotta grift, I guess.

Is he still delinquent on his property taxes????

I am truly baffled.

Is it that a Cochran is running and that last name causes Mr. Tyner to react emotionally?

Mr. Tyner, if you are one of those whose political experience has left you with an " us vs. them" mentality so intense that you can't objectively assess why your guy lost and your role in that defeat, you shouldn't be involved in politics.

That mentality dooms you to failure.

Ronald Reagan didn't personally attack Gorbachev or belittle the Russian people or get caught up in details of policy. He instead demanded action ( " tear down this wall"), stated that the policies of the government were bad ( Evil Empire) and articulated the positive values of a democracy and described his vision of the future.

That's the same tact President Reagan took running against opponents. He didn't get his hands dirty. He remained above the fray and stayed on message. He used humor and wit, rather than acting like an attack dog.

That's what political success looks like.

The McDaniel campaign started out well and then the candidate clearly had no ability to define or maintain a strategy or message. Instead, his ego responded to the emotionalism of his " true believers"...his " fans". That's a huge mistake. The "true believers" are blinded by hero worship and are the vote you have, not the vote you have to get!

Even if McDaniel had won, like Nixon, he'd have self-destructed for the same reasons. And, unlike Nixon's time, the social media is different and you can't hide that " us vs. them" mentality so well or defray it to boogeymen.

Study politics first. It's not about being loved , it's about being effective.

Reagan might be dead, but his business model isn't. SNOREeeeeeee that.

Sun Tzu and Machiaveli are also dead, but successful people still study their philosophies and strategies.

Today's GOP talks alot of game when it comes to emulating Reagan's economic policies but votes nearly every time in the opposite direction.

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. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
