Sorry to sound negative, but that doesn't say much for the other states...

If you weigh 400 lbs and lose 100, you might be in the top .0001% of people in terms of actual pounds, but you are still morbidly obese.

More of Wright's self-serving BS trying to justify her ridiculous salary.

Has Shad White taken credit for this yet?

This here's what Git-R-Dun looks like!

Plus, when educatshun's already that low then just about any durn thing is better.

I'm glad we're improving, but just like with COVID we're starting from a severe low point. Here's what the self-serving announcement doesn't tell you; Mississippi still ranks just 45th in the nation. Doesn't sound so grand now, does it? Dr. Wright owes the state a refund on what we've paid her. You can see the entire results here.

I knew Elon personally back in his Paypal days. The man is a literal con artist. Everything about him (including his fake hair) and everything he does is a scam. And this is no different. He is a an excellent hype man and bullshit artist.

Take Tesla for example. Its number one product is its stock. Second would be the flamethrowers Elon sold a few years ago. The deal with his relative who owned SolarCity was a scam on stockholders. Sold the green rubes on solar shingles and the Tesla PowerWall. Never going to happen.

Lumumba doing great things in education too. That's a leader we can all be proud of Lumumba.

I looked at the report. Mississippi is ranked above four states. It is tied with eight states. And it falls below everyone else.

Hell, Britney Spears is a distant cousin of mine.
Gawd, she has embarrassed the family over the years,
but I'm glad at least one of us became a millionaire.

BTW . . . she wears fake hair too.

I've never lived in a state that hated itself and its institutions so much. Serious question: is it just plain old racism, general hatred of government, or some kind of brainwashing from having the rest of the U.S. poop on you since the 1960s (which was sort of your own fault)?

I thought Shad White determined they had cooked the numbers regarding attendance and graduation rates? How does Wright get away with publishing such drivel? Is the media on the take in the Mississippi scam of the taxpayers?

7:27am In the event you are not illiterate, go and read the MDE response to Shad. They were following the law. Oldest trick in the book--pass a law and when they follow the law but there are questions, easiest thing to do is blame them. Been done that way for decades.

It comes from being right about everything back then, while the federal government has been proven wrong in every social experiment from integrating the schools to affirmative action in the work place. All they have done is spread the misery equally instead of lifting anyone up. Everyone knows who is and isn't pulling the weight in an office or learning environment. But the only slackers you can discipline these days are white slackers.

It has been amusing to watch the government's social experiments fail and soon collapse the republic. It will all be over when they can no longer money-print their way out of the problems that they create. Another fat stimulus handout followed by the most epic dotcom crash should do the trick. Then Americans will line up and submit to anything to fill their hungry stomachs.

"All they have done is spread the misery equally instead of lifting anyone up."

Lifting up was never the goal. The goals, which were achieved, were these: Dumbing down. Mediocrity. Averaging. Reducing excellence. Lowering the bar. The same goals exist today and are being pushed by democrats.

You don't pour water into a bucket of wine and expect it to improve the quality of either liquid. All you'll ever get is watered-down wine. And you'll be told, repetitively, that it tastes fine...until you eventually believe it.

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.
