WLBT at its finest. Halfway through the story they report that 'there were no injuries' (as an aside, why would on expect injuries in a situation like this, but I digress). Then they close the story with a comment that they are investigating further to determine if there were any injuries, and where the SCHOOL BUS was going. (hint:maybe to school?)

CLICK BAIT! That is not a sink hole. It is a mud hole likely caused by a leaking water main or a storm drain pipe broke.

GMAFB!

That means that they initially didn't know if there were any injuries or where the bus was headed and then they updated the story later with those details once they found out. Hopefully that makes sense to you!

This city has a lot of problems. More than it can really handle and yet the issue with the Forest Hill Band has been on the front burner for them for 2 weeks. If the City leaders and community activists would display as much passion about the state of their city as they have with the “band issue” it might make a difference. But when you don’t really know what you’re doing then...well, this is what you have. A stagnant city that cannot dig itself out of a hole that it’s in. It’s a lose/lose situation for them. Our Flagship City, what can I say. I have watched for 4 consecutive days as the City has worked on a water and sewer leak on North President Street. Privatization of repairs would be the smart thing to do. What has taken 4 days, and the Street is just filled now with gravel, would take a private contractor 1 day. But, you know that minority participation thing......that would have to be addressed.

The City fathers (and mothers) are developing a strategic plan to hold “listening sessions” regarding what might be done about the potholes. Then, a committee will be appointed to hire a consultant to study the situation while insuring that all have a seat at the table to analyze how the city might consider various approaches to further study that focuses on inclusion to insure that all people have a voice in the pothole strategy.

Just throw some bottles and rocks under there for traction

I read 12:55's comments three times and I'm still not sure if that's a joke. That's how dysfunctional this city's leadership has become.

Every time I hear someone call this a sinkhole I feel like Deniro in Meet the Parents...”that Bob is our sh$&!”

Wait a minute, word on the street is that the JPS bus driver and its student passengers were reenacting a scene from the movie Speed. So inappropriate.

The City Council is going to audit this bus and get to the bottom of what happened.

Shad White has just announced that a bully onboard was stealing several classmates' lunch money. Great work, Shadrock!

@2:51...and a demand letter has been sent to Metro PCS where the ill-gotten gains were used.

If the bus was filled with band members on their way to embarrass the city again, then the sinkhole served a good purpose.

There is a lie hidden in the story that you all overlooked. 'A barricade was in place'. That's a lie. There was no barricade put there, ever. Barricade's don't just disappear. The maintenance crew thought they had tamped down the mud sufficiently to support a small sedan. At least one head should roll.

Repairing a "sinkhole" caused by a water leak is entirely different from repairing a pothole. Fillings exist that can repair, evenly, pot holes and that filling is made in Mississippi. Other towns are using it.

@12:55 PM, don't forget the "Blue Ribbon Commission," with live coverage on C-SPAN for days, followed by a 2,500 page report that will be filed away for eternity.

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. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
