Jackson Jambalaya

L'dMAO with the news from CNN that Thad says he's running for re-election in 2020.

12:15 If the choice is Thad or McDaniel, I would be happy to vote one more time for Thad.

Please tell me that old Bastard is not going to run again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We repeat the same things over and over---that's why we are #50.

According to Geoff Pender in CL a couple of days ago, a certain state senator from Ellisville would be Bryant's 4th choice after Tater, Harper, and Hosemann in that order... for whatever that's worth. Personally, I'd hold out for Hosemann as I no longer have any respect for Tater and never really did for Harper.

2:14 there is a lot of reasons Mississippi ranks 50 on the pageant circuit but it has nothing to do with Thad.

Did MacDaniel play in O Brother Where Art Thou? He looks so familiar.

Why is Jackson county MS the only county that allows Pogey boats to go almost onto the beach to harvest pogeys? These boats rape and pillage our natural resources on our coast! These practices have been discontinued on the East coast !! Google Omega protein. I have personally witnessed these boats and just observing them caused MS Dept of Marine Resources to come to see why I was there. Trent does have a nice house on the coast to vacation to and a personal airport at taxpayers expense, and he beat the '"I love MS drum" to get elected after Katrina, , but he sold out the electorate after Katrina because the Senate rules for lobbyists was coming into effect which was more important to set up his lobbying firm with his friend from LA . Google pogey fish, the most import fish n the sea. It's important in the food chain.

4:35, with all due respect, Thad has been an elected leader of this state for roughly 40 years and thus needs to be held accountable for Mississippi being #50. It happened on his watch....or in this case, didn't happen.

This state has been in 50th place for 200 years and it will be in 50th place for the next 200 years. There is nothing Thad or anyone else could ever do that would change that. There are no magical solutions to the problems we have in this state.

KF, bet the McDaniel it's won't be able to figure this one out - but if they went back and saw the fallout on old Trent after his trying to put Stennis in the grave early, they would realize the stupidity of their ways.

Oh wait - they showed plenty of stupidity in their ways last time: courthouse breakins, NJ using home breakins, fake legal fights..... never mind, they must enjoy showing their stupidity.

Excuses are for losers.....

I can not tell you anything about PogeyBoatGate. Lott's exit had nothing to do with a yearning to become a lobbyist. I remember something about graceful exits are better than being another Bilbo. Ironic considering he was in Bilbo's former senate seat.

1) Thad is too old with both feet in the grave; he needs to go home.
2) McDaniel is a nut job and needs to stay in Jones County.
3) Tater Tot will never be the right person for the job.
4) Harper is and always will be an empty suit.
5) Hosemann is on the verge of being too old. He would probably do a good job, but we'd be back in the same boat in 1-2 terms.

I hope that the Guv is spending at least as much time considering his choices for Thad's replacement as he is with JPS decision.

Electing McDaniel will guarantee we stay on the bottom as he will reinforce every negative stereotype CEOs have about Mississippi.
We keep electing good ole boys who just scream that they can be " had" and manipulated from their haircuts to their shoes even before they open their mouths and remove all doubt.
That's why when we do get any " economic" interest, we pay out more than we get back.
The most laughable part to those we'd like to have invest here , is that we are a state dependent on the federal government and we hate the federal government and squander or refuse the help we get or could have. We hate welfare and yet are the section 8 of States. But, it's even how fast our private schools wanted and needed and got federal help but we don't look at those tax dollars do we? It never occurs to us that the " employees" a company needs are not mostly in the future private school " managers" or "professionals". It's hysterical to hear us criticize blacks for their dysfunctional culture of poverty when our whites live a culture of poverty...except for our 1% who don't want outside competition.

If Anon. 6:10 yesterday is trying to tie Trent Lott to Omega protein and their pogey mill in Moss Point, he's talkikng out of his nether regions. The plant has been there "forever"; I remember it, well the smell, from when I was a boy in Pascagoula and Trent would have been no more than a teenager. I don't know about them harvesting pogeys "almost onto the beach", but the boats do have to go up river to get to the plant. Whenever one sinks or has other problems that make the news, it's always in deeper water . They don't just fish in Jackson County waters and the harvesting and processing have not been "discontinued on the East coast" since Omega has a plant/mill in North Carolina, oh and in Europe as well. Rape and pillage? It's a regulated industry/fishery.

Now back to topic, I was never much of a Trent Lott fan even though my grandfather on my dad's side thought the sun rose and set on him.

Watch it 8:32. You are being mighty cruel to people you consider old. How old are you? Hope you have someone who will be good to you and not throw you out to pasture. Besides, Delbert's pretty damn chipper and would do an excellent job! Though, I do like him as our Sec. of State. I'm a big Harper fan too. I'm in agreement with you on Tate and McDaniel.

Name two things Harper has done for his district or for the state of Mississippi. Well, other than call in on the Gallo Show every three months at straight up 8:00 a.m.

Meanwhile, the real tragedy here is that Phil Bryant will be the one making the decision.

Replacing Thad with wimpy Gregg Harper would not benefit MS. Harper used Crosgates Baptist to help elect Thad who had a mistress at the time. How about that for Christian values! I guess the Southern Baptist are one of many churches with no foundations, so they flop anywhere. Harper would be another Haley Barbour lap dog. It is time to elect a leader who does not answer to Barbour!.
