One sorry SOB

Watched the preview and as soon as I saw Jerry Mitchell I knew it was going to be a hatchet job on the state of Mississippi. Can't wait to see how he links this to Emmett Till and the civil rights murders in Philadelphia.

Excellent teaser. I'll watch for sure.

There were no doubt people at many, many levels (employees, associates, friends and politicians) involved who will never pay for their misdeeds. Many, I suspect, are drawing PERS benefits today or soon will be.

Can someone update us on the wife of Bennett Malone? She was convicted and sentenced to serve time, but became ill. Bennett had suddenly retired from the legislative body, then died and I've heard you can't indict a corpse in Mississippi. If you could, Jerry Mitchell would have pressed that point on many occasions.

9:47 may be linked to our former Governor. Since he didn’t tell Brett and Nancy no way are you going to pilfer Federal Monies on my watch.

9:39, you need to add "stupid".

The one thing Mitchell never shares is that the Parchman legacy was conceived, birthed and nurtured under the total control of Mississippi Democrats.

When will the episode on John and Michael Coleman come out? They were the owners of Express Grain.

12:50 - John and Michael Coleman did not steal any money from any form of government. They were business people that stole money from their clients/vendors/etc who made the b usiness decision to give them their asset (grain) without getting anything for it until sometime in the future.

They (you??) made a terrible business decision, but they (you??) chose to do business with the Coleman's and trust them rather than take your grain elsewhere.

Yes, they were sorry folks. But unlike Epps (or New, or Davis, or whoever else may be included) they were not government employees misusing their government position to steal money from the taxpayers. Businesses go bankrupt every day across this country, and generally when that happens a bunch of people get screwed. Trying to bring your beef for making the decision to trust a bunch of crooks and not handle your business any better into this conversation is worthless. Kinda like Crawford trying to blame Greenwood Leflore Hospital's failure of the lack of Medicaid expansion rather than the true cause which was total mismanagement.

Once Jerry and Jimmy The Racebaiters appeared, I was out.

Those two racist a**holes don’t deserve any more of my time.

Add Gravy-Faced Jim, and it’s a liberal’s wet dream.

12:50 - Virtually nobody in this state (other than a few customers) had ever heard of the Colemans. That's the difference.

Epps was so well known as to be a virtual household name, crossing multiple governors' terms and legislative bodies. Everybody trusted him and his judgement, and in some ways, he was thought to be a poster-boy for justice, rising through the ranks and a shining example of diversity in leadership. He sorta shit in that nest.

Quit chasing rabbits and hijacking threads on the Blog.

I swear this fool watched Shawshank Redemption but went to sleep before the last 20 minutes and came out confused about who the hero of the story was.

Let him out. He has done enough time. House arrest is warranted.

To make room for the next high-profile thief.

CNBC drinking game: take a drink when thru misrepresented the truth.

Speedrun: straight liquor only

12:50, there is an American Greed episode on Bernie Ebbers. 6:08 is either being sarcastic or should be locked up for insanity.

Phil Bryant's crooked ass makes Chris Epps look like an altar boy. Another distraction

I can’t wait until the one about Brett Favre & Phil Bryant comes out

"I'm the tallest hog at the trough," said Epps.

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? 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.
