The food fight in The Palisades continues as a band of rebels seeks to overturn the status quo:

I'm so glad I live out in the rural country and have no HO association to deal with. Been there, done that, served as an officer for HOA years ago, thankless task. Good riddance.

So glad I bought land and built.

Hell is other people. And upper end subdivisions are the ninth circle.

The current board of directors is going to great lengths to keep their positions. I don't have a dog in this hunt, but it makes me wonder why anyone would go to such lengths to keep a volunteer position where they are not going to be appreciated by a large number of people. It really does play into the hands of the Rebels that the current board of the HOA are nothing but power-hungry mongers.

"Ho, Ho, Ho, the board must go."

That must have been a nice Christmas sign!

I don't live in Palisades, but I do live in a neighborhood with a HOA. I've lived in my last neighborhood!!

Imagine a life so miserable that your own self worth is tied to serving on an HOA board. You actively campaign to stay on it even though your negligence cost your constituency $200,000!!!

Yes 2:13 is is quite obvious that you don't have a dog in the fight with your "objective" take on this matter.

I've got this. Everything is under control, so quit your complaining and pay the special assessment that will soon go into effect.

Dear 3:14 p.m.:

2:13 p.m. here. I seriously don't have any skin in this. I am not a resident of Palisades, nor do I know anyone who lives in Palisades. However, it is pretty clear that you are one of the Palisades HOA board members who is desperately trying to hang on to your position. Why on earth would you want to retain your position on the HOA board when so many people want you gone? I mean seriously? Are you hiding something else, or are you really the power-hungry bully that the Rebels have made you out to be?

I’m sure, when ask, all the people who want a new board would not volunteer to serve on the board. Reminds me of a Doctor in my neighborhood who bitched incessantly but when ask to serve he had every excuse in the world.

If you think David Lane was the only crook invoked,
And that his HOA biddies are clean...
Well I’ve got some ocean front Palisades houses to sell ya.

@4:59 there were actually 13 people who volunteered to serve on the board. The “rebels” had to vote to narrow it down to only 7 to fill the board seats. And amending the bylaws to allow more participation is a top priority of the new board. So yes, there are a lot of people who are complaining who will gladly take a turn to serve the neighborhood.

There are a few members of the Palisades HOA Board that are absolutely great, friendly people. However the way the Board as a whole has handled all of this is questionable. In some circumstances they have come off hypocritical and just plain childish. Many believe someone on the Board staged the Santa Claus hoax to create chaos. Hard to say on that one but I sure hope that's not true. They know that most of the neighborhood wants a peaceful resolution with no personal attacks. They are saying a small group are against them when I believe the number is well over the majority of the neighborhood. That is a lot and it says a lot. If they wanted to stay on the board they should've given the neighborhood positive information and ideas from each candidate to help everyone make an informed decision. Instead they've only badmouthed their neighbors, been very condescending, and assumed they are best suited for the positions just because they think so! The letters they are putting out are too much. They are the only ones making this drama. It's sad because it's a waste of time and after these letters have been given to JJ it has created embarrassment for the whole neighborhood! I think it's safe to say that more than just a small group do NOT want to find anymore REPETITIVE letters, postage unpaid, in our mailboxes. You have no right looking in our mailboxes or leaving anything in them!

Warming up a second bag in the microwave.

Still think the current board is acting in a more reasonable transparent manner. New Board = Angry Dems. Old Board = Trump supporters begging for some cooperation and reasonable minds to help move America forward.

After making such a disastrous financial mistake, one is to ask why in God’s name would they want to continue serving on the board?

Oh, LORD! This is just like "The Cadillac" - the two-part Seinfeld episode, about the condo board in Florida. Only this time, the pool and clubhouse are way nicer.

It’s just classic Gene Delcomyn. Same behavior when he was at the bank.

How amusing to read these posts. Nothing funnier than butt-hurt old miserable retirees complaining about everything. The main reason they are trying desperately to hang on to their failing campaign is to try and cover up their involvement in the financial malfeasance. The proof is coming! You can hide, but you cannot escape. From the illegal petunias to the overpriced sled painting- justice is coming!

PassThePopcorn said...

Six people signed that letter. A letter with multiple grammatical and/or punctuation errors. If six people - and it only takes one - don't have the ability or inclination to proofread a letter and fix its mistakes, then why should any Palisades homeowner believe they'll be detail-oriented or conscientious enough to "manage" their neighborhood? Palisades can recoup some of their losses by selling seats to the upcoming HOA meeting. It's going to be a real sh*t show. I'd love to see it!

Petunia said...

I never knew petunias were illegal. Are they of the hemp family?

Anonymous said...

The current HOA board created the rules and regulations that are about to get them thrown out. You dug the hole, now it's time to jump in it.

Anonymous said...

I wonder how many times Pass the Popcorn aka 'Grammer Nazi' had to recheck their post to make sure there were no grammatical errors?

Methinks more than a fee realtors are following this and will use it when steering their clients to other saner neighborhoods.

@7:04 Pure fear-mongering. The majority of the neighborhood is together and are lovely families. The issue at stake is growing pains. Palisades did not used to be a neighborhood with young families. Now there are many. It’s a wonderful place to live and these neighbors are organized and working for better amenities and covenants. So many families from all different generations, many with kids here now and it’s a great place to live! It’s culture clash between what Palisades “was” and what it “is”. Disruption is sometimes necessary when making things better. A lot of neighbors love Palisades so much that they are committed to change that fits the neighborhood and that includes representing everyone and removing control from those who have held onto power from the days of what Palisades “was”. It’s still awesome. We are evolving and growing. Agents may be following this and if so they know the agents who live in our neighborhood and can explain what’s really going on if they don’t already see it. We’ve got amazing neighbors who are closer than ever working with a common goal which is a more inclusive neighborhood with representative government.

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.
