MCPP: Enough of This Neurosis

Did Medicare Crackdown Cause Nine-Figure Bankruptcy?

The bankruptcy of Flowood's Wound Management Specialists brought to light a battle being waged at Medicare.  Medicare is cracking down on companies providing skin substitutes after it discovered a loophole created a gravy train.  Such tightening apparently caused Wound Management's finances to crash, leaving it owing between $100 million and $500 million to creditors while revenue fell by 80% in one year.

Flashback Friday: When Kingfish Took on the Good Ole Boys of Hinds County

Once upon a time, governments in Mississippi could keep their settlement agreements secret.  Nothing like burying your dirt - until the Kingfish went to court.  Precious Martin tried mighty hard to keep his million dollar fee secret from the voters.  This post was published on July 13, 2013.  It sure is nice having a precedent to wave around when the government settles a case behind closed doors.  

Special Chancellor Larry Buffington ordered Hinds County to turn over to Jackson Jambalaya a copy of the settlement agreement between the county and Motorola. Hinds County sued Motorola in 2009 for damages. Hinds County claimed Motorola allowed Ridgeland and Madison to "bootleg" off of the radio system.*  The case settled for an undisclosed amount in 2011. It is not known how much money Hinds County or its attorney, Precious Martin, received in the settlement agreement. Attorney Curt Crowley represented Jackson Jambalaya.

 Imagine  walking through a war-torn city with bodies strewn all over the street.  Snipers shoot from behind buildings.  Bombs go off.  More carnage.  Some shooters smile with promises of safety but they pull out a gun and shoot those who were so enticed.  Then you notice there are some whom the guns don't bother for they are bulletproof.  The late Dr. Frank Pollard preached only with faith can we survive spiritual warfare.  We are too weak, easily outsmarted, prey to deception if we try to fight such battles on our own.  So how does one become bulletproof? Dr. Pollard answers the question in the 1998 sermon posted below.  Enjoy.

The Lindsay Clancy Case Has Exposed Something About Us

Jackson attorney and radio talk show host Shaun Yurtkuran authored this guest column.  His show, Both Sides of the Bench,  airs at 11 AM on Saturdays on WYAB. 

The internet decided what Lindsay Clancy, her husband and even the holdout juror 
were supposed to be. The evidence was considerably less convenient.

I have spent a lot of time talking about the Lindsay Clancy case over the last few weeks. Probably more time than I ever expected to spend talking about a murder trial in Massachusetts. I’ve discussed it on my radio show. I’ve been interviewed about it by national media. I’ve argued with people about it on Facebook, which is generally where good legal analysis goes to die. And after watching the trial, the mistrial and especially the public reaction to both, I’m not sure the most interesting thing about this case is Lindsay Clancy anymore. It may be us.

Russia’s shift to constant surveillance and plentiful cheap bomb-carrying drones, many supplied by Iran, had dramatically shortened the time it took to spot, strike, and destroy targets.

What a Heaven is For

 "When Mohammad invented his religion, one of the things Muhammad understood that he needed to do was create a heaven that would really appeal to the men in his world and so he created a heaven which is very sensual... and the kind of heaven is an entirely different thing than  our heaven.  Our heaven is a heaven where you go to bed at night not having done anything wrong and so you don't feel bad.  You've not been wronged by anyone else so you're not hurt. You've not been affected by sin.... You have a very wonderful existence. It's a life of joy and peace and towering purpose but the Mohammedan heaven is one of sensual pleasure, like it's going to a party every night. It'd be like that forever.  It was simply invented by Muhammad for people who are not going to have their natures change, who are not going to be made different by the powers of Jesus Christ so he invented a lie for them that really doesn't exist," said the late Dr Frank Pollard as he preached on preparing for heaven.

Chaney: Mississippians Need More Health Insurance Options

This guest column is authored by Mississippi Commissioner of Insurance Mike Chaney. 

Over the past year, more than 200,000 Mississippians have left the Affordable Care Act marketplace as the cost of coverage has increased due to the expiration of the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits at the end of 2025. At the same time, insurers are requesting significant rate increases or leaving the market. Families who are already struggling are having to ask, “What can I afford?”

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.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both will entitle you to free drinks.Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required, just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '07 is for EVERYONE!!!
