You would think this would have received immediate attention, given all the liberal environmentalists who work and attend there-

Destination Pearl River. Where is the EPA?

Looks clear to me. Inspection passed. Move on to the next block over.

Well, conveniently, there is nearby a stack of the most appropriate paper product on Earth for wiping this all up- Millsaps Diplomas.

The sign that warns not to come in contact with the material has, of course, fallen down and is now immersed in sewage.

Going right into the Pearl River.

Not the city’s fault. That’s just the teachings of most of the professors leaking out.

No wonder enrollment is down.

Millsaps, the one of the few positive things still remaining in Jackson is now being polluted because of lack of city leadership. Maybe if we collect the money owed by the 6500 exempt water recipients, we can get this corrected.

I got a MBA by attending Millsaps
at night. I found it to be a very rewarding conservative experience and will always appreciate the experience.

Hello, 1:28. Evidently something is missing from your education. An MBA, not a MBA.

The leak is from a city main, not Millsaps campus, and has been reported numerous times.

That’s actually a very small leak compared to others around town.
Nothing to see here.

@3:08 PM - He failed to mention his BS degree.

Ack-shoe-uhlly, if one reads "MBA" as "Masters of Business Administration," one would employ "a," The word "Masters" beginning with the consonant sound "muh."

And if one were to read it as three letters, the first letter M being pronounced "em" and beginning with a vowel sound, then one would employ the word "an."

So you're both correct, 1:28 and 3:08, just depends on whether one reads wirds or letters, although there are plenty who hold an MBA -- which I pronounce Em Bee Ay here -- and cannot spell to save their own lives.

And that's your grammar and orthography lesson for today. Let's stay safe out there and not create any grammar wrecks.

Problem is the sewer line was laid the same year Millsaps opened! 1890!

For correctness - not grammer, I ain't gonna go there - this is not a sewer leak.

This is a Sanitary Sewer Overflow - SSO for short. Plenty of these around Jackson, and the EPA has been supposedly fining Jackson for every day every one is overflowing. AND, Jackson has been supposed to be addressing this problem and making it sto, under the Consent Decree the city entered into in 2013.

Under that decree, Jackson had 17 years to fix all the SSOs throughout the city. But, being Jackson, they have done nothing to fix the problem while spending over $30 million in consulting and legal fees trying to 'renegotiate' the decree - to get more time to fix the problem; to lower the fines; to reduce the work required.

That effort - under CAL Sr, Tony the dancer Yarborough, and now under our radical new social justice Mayor Lumumba Jr - didn't do a damn thing to change the fact that whenever there is a significant rain, the sewer lines overflow - generally just like this one. The excessive rainwater inundates the collapsed and failing sewer lines and the easiest way to freedom is through the holes in the manhole covers. And then, of course, out on the streets, into the yards, eventually into the creeks, and on the east side of the divide, into the Pearl and to the Gulf.

But - its really not a lot of untreated sewer after all, why get worried about it. The sewage (I'll leave off the description, you kinda get the picture) is normally full of various solids - but with the influx of rainwater, it is highly diluted. Make you feel better? Good. What's bubbling out is a whole lot of rainwater, mixed in of course with the output of other connections to the sewer line (yes, all those personal things you do at home, or after work in the bar - whatever).

If Jackosn officials - Im not about to call them leaders - had spent half the time trying to play politics, and hiring consultants to play politics - all to change the requirements of the Consent Decree and started working toward solving these problems that occur all over the city - much of this would be fixed by now.

But - the zoo was more important. The Food Mart on Farish Street deserved use of that Siemens settlement dollars more than the utility failures that were used to justify the settlement (who knows where the rest of those millions went, there has been no report of it other than it clearly did not go into the water / sewer funds).

So, we live with "up from the ground comes a bubbling crude". Problem is, in this case it was not oil that let Jed move, it was just crude - that we all have to live in here because we can't move; to Beverly or to anywhere.

Biden's EPA doesn't enforce standards for entities led by Biden supporters. The fact that this oversight impacts actual people is irrelevant.

Just what fine did Jackson receive for dumping over 50 million gallons of raw sewage into the Pearl River? Zero. If a business had made such an egregious environmental impact the EPA would have buried said company.

Our poop fountain or SSO bubbled up for about 3 years while the city blamed it on grease in the lines from restaurants … truth was that the line had collapsed. The city just sent the same crew out and guess where they wash the sewage yeah, right down into the ground water so more power to that. I just want to thank Robert Graham for coming out and getting Hinds County to agree to fund some of the repairs - finally, working together with the county, we no longer drive through poop, used tampons and gosh knows what else… and guess who the mayor was then - yep, same one we have now! And the zoo - well, what zoo? Sad for the animals and to think, we could’ve had a zoo over there by the children’s Museum that would’ve attracted more tourist to the city but our current mayor decided that wouldn’t be a good idea so now…are there really any words ?!

Vote for Mayor Lumumba. He gets shit done.

Unless one lives in a newer part of Jackson, there are many miles of crumbling water and sewer lines under rights-of-way for Henifin to fix because COJ can't or won't.

If Henifin devotes his $400,000/yr time in Jackson suing the state, instead of completing his mission, his reputation will be ruined as a limp wristed commie hand maiden to Jackson's marxist mayor.

Post one thing about Millsaps, and the haters who know NOTHING about Millsaps come out.

Thats the most appropriate and accurate campaign slogan I have ever heard. The sheer volume of shit that has occurred since this guy got into office is staggering.

Suppose you educate us 10:17. Tell us about Millsaps. What goes on behind the gates, stays behind the gates, right?

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.
