An arrest warrant has been issued for one of the organizers of a large gathering Saturday Uptown who refused to cancel the event when officers tried to shut it down due to the restrictions in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19, New Orleans police said. The gathering was reported around 4:30 p.m. in the 3000 block of Audubon Street.

According to police, 2nd District officers were notified about a large gathering and then found a band playing with 100 people who were attending a funeral repass at the location. Rest of article.

More Coronavirus deaths occurred at the Lambeth House. The Times-Picayune reported:

 Lambeth House, a nursing facility in Uptown, sent a letter to residents and staff Saturday alerting them to the now 53 cases and 13 deaths due to the novel coronavirus, a jump from the 42 cases and 11 deaths as of Tuesday. Article.

Are they saying the virus rewards the young and healthy? Guess the virus hate the old and unhealthy. What a hateful virus. CNN should be calling this virus out.

It should be obvious more healthy people have a greater chance of surviving any type of illness or injury. It should also be obvious that the disease can strike anyone and kill them even with no other issues.

Actually that's not true. The disease is killing very few people without pre-existing conditions. 5% of 151 is what? 7 people?

I tell you a good one. That worldometer that is flying around online. One person put on FB this morning that the mortality rate was 18%. Well, if you actually clicked on the link, it was 18% of closed cases but the dummy was running around saying it had a mortality rate of 18% and you couldn't convince her otherwise.

New Orleans Mayor now blaming President Trump for not stopping Mardi Gras.

Hey 5:04, he knew it was here and said it wasn't.
Who was she supposed to listen to?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. If the Democrats had been on charge, the response would have been even slower. Trump was knocked for shutting down flights from China by the Democrats. The Europeans complained about closing off travel from Europe before they followed suit. DeBlasio was actively promoting keeping schools open In NYC, even after it was obvious they had to be shut down. Didn’t the mayor have her own resources, like two medical schools with experts in her own city? It’s always easier to blame somebody else.

Everyone does realize if you are positive for the virus and die it gets reported as a Covid19 death whether it caused it or not. It's not exactly the most reliable statistic.

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.
