Jackson Jambalaya

Goodness this seems incredibly dumb. But not as dumb as the Jr. League holding Mistletoe Marketplace INSIDE the trade mart a few weeks after.

Required face mask not required.

Speaking of what is wrong... Why are the COVID-19 data of some big private schools in the metro area not on the MSDH aggregate school COVID-19 report? Maybe because the kids of certain politicians go there?

Is Gipson going to be held accountable when there is a spike in cases after this trainwreck?

@7:10pm - it will be gone by Christmas. It will be a miracle, just like it was gone by Easter.

WAPT, no surprise.

WAPT has to be the worst about posting headlines that don't agree with the stories. Last week the had a story about "Ridgeland" by the lead line had "Richland." The TV stations have gone the way of the CL. No proofreading.

No proofreading and little in the way of actual journalism.

Will the fair "social distancing police" have tape measurers?

No one proofreads shit on the local BIG 3 website "journalism" coverage.
Holes like swiss cheese in the stories.

WAPT is hands down the most vacuous.

The Marketing Director at the Andy Ag Dept facebooked Melanie Christopher at WJTV and said masking is not required, except for the workers.

No masks for attendees.

These dang whippersnappers who call themselves Journalists. Just another example of the world swirling around the toilet bowl.

I was fortunate enough to catch some cat from the fairgrounds being interviewed by some blowhard on the super(commercial)talk radio station. I heard "yeah, we're gonna shut down the flame throwin' booth and a couple of other things that have folks too close to each other. Everything else is gonna be fine."

I'll have to be honest here. In today's political climate, the last damn thing the state of Mississippi needs to be doing is shutting down the dag-gum flame throwin' booth. We're the state that threatened to send Cliff Finch to DC on a road-grader back in the day, and we can't keep the damn flame throwin' booth at the state fair operating? Dammit boys, we got standards to live up to down here.

11:52, I forgot about ol’ Cliff Finch. We sure have had some doozies running our state haven’t we? And we still have a former governor running it but I’m not saying no names. And that’s why 200 of the wealthiest families run this state and call the shots

WJTV's turn. "Posted: Oct 6, 2020 / 06:51 AM CDT / Updated: Oct 6, 2020 / 07:06 AM CDT


JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV)-Authorities are on the scene of a crash involving a car and 18-wheeler on Highway 80 in between Terry Road and Raymond Road.

The crash happened Tuesday morning just before 6:30 a.m.

There are injuries reported at this time."

Ahhh, I lived in Jackson all my life and I don't think Raymond Rd. intersects Hwy 80.

I like Christana, though.

The Jr. League comment seems incredibly specific. Are you a member of the organization?

Looks like the "No kids left behind" actually left behind journalists who WRITE for a living.

Keep the masks off. We need to just try to get to 100% confirmed cases. That fact alone doesn't mean a damn thing with a survivable virus very similar to a common fucking cold. People die, but apparently not that many from this one. No masks. MAWKE member.

You're gonna need more than a mask to get out of the fair alive.

I have my lunch box and hardhat from the Finch campaign days.

Governor Finch was one of a kind.

There's no doubt he would have driven a bulldozer to Washington DC.

After all, what other Mississippi Governor had a photo taken while in a heart shaped tub (bubble bath) ?
I really can't remember if that was before or after his wife shot him in the butt. Gawd, the Finch administration made "The Dukes of Hazard" look like "Masterpiece Theatre".

But back on topic.

I'd wear a mask at the flame thrower booth.

( A flame thrower is actually a good part of Andy's wild hog control program)

Eradication and BBQ at the same time.

Cliff and his wife Zelma Finch. The weirdest first couple in Mississippi history. Remember when cliff ran for President in 1980. Still makes me laugh.

" Remember when cliff ran for President in 1980. Still makes me laugh."

I Remember it like it was last year.
That was embarrassing but funny.

He didn't win the White House, so by 1982 he was back in private practice in Batesville.
But that didn't stop him from driving over to "happy hour" at the Ole Miss bars every afternoon.

Hell, I think he had a reserved bar stool at the Warehouse & the Gin.
( Two popular bars in Oxford in 1982).

But back on track.

WE NEED THE FLAME THROWER BOOTH AT THE FAIR !
