Jackson mayoral race edition of We Report, You Decide.

The Jackson Advocate published this letter endorsing Chokwe Lumumba, Jr. for Mayor. Since the newspaper has a limited circulation and does not have a diverse readership, JJ is posting the letter in an effort to help the Jackson Advocate reach more readers.

I think if they descend upon Jackustan by the 24th or 25th and work like mad all weekend they'll be ready to get their voters to the polls on the 28th. Sounds like a good plan.

What a nut job. Unfortunately, the uneducated electorate will probably send a lot of votes Octavians way.

Spewing more deviveness.

Is this written by one of the 500,000 minions who were supposed to move to Jackson?

Yes, well, this letter should help Yarber in the black community.

The illiterate won't even try to read it and the literate know too much to fall for this BS.

It's the kind of thing that might work in the speeches of someone charismatic.

Doesn't fly on paper.

As a Jacksonian and a Yarber supporter, I do hope all of Lumumba's supporters show up and vote for him on the 28th.

um, after reading this trash (jfp) I would imagine the other guy will win hands down

Wretched writing. It's like someone put all the slogans and some verbs in a blender, and this is what came out. Maybe their slogan needs to be revamped to be "Free the Language!"

The article doesn't even string together a coherent sentence.

I wonder how often the Jackson Free Press and the Jackson Advocate meet to discuss various ways to appear influential.
They are so misguided - tilting at windmills doesn't make one significant in this day and time.

To those criticizing the poor writing, I'm sure it reads better in the original Swahili.

Sadly, you couldn't be more wrong. The illiterate retards who elected the father will do the same for the son. It won't be close.

I wonder how many of those who voted for senior have been encouraged to vote for junior and now have a large ham or turkey in their 'fridge, compliments of the corpulent one?

Since there is not a way to comment on the "Ben Allen post" guess it will fit here. Is Sir Ben going to make an endorsement on the air tomorrow? If so, maybe that will offset this wonderful endorsement - probably carry about the same amount of influence. But at least if Uncle Ben makes an endorsement, we could understand his.

I tried, in my head, twice, to pronounce the name of the person who wrote that drivel, but failed. He failed. I failed.

I second the comment re being unable to post on the Ben Allen announcement. Can't we just replay one of McGowan's many speeches about the lake? And replay one of Ben's earlier commentaries on the same subject? With Leland humming in the background maybe?

Dear April 14, 2014 at 8:36 PM,

Aren't we all, deep down inside, libationists at heart?

Darryl Hamilton - not the Baptists, or so they claim :-)

It's difficult to take seriously people who claim to want "power to the people" but who at the same time refuse those people the right to choose their children's schools.

Horseshit! Might be too kind.

A luta continua (in English: the struggle continues) was the rallying cry of the FRELIMO movement during Mozambique’s war for independence. The phrase is Portuguese but was used by FRELIMO leader Samora Machel to cultivate popular support against the Portuguese colonial presence. Became the motto of Mozambique. This all sounds like SEPARATISM instead of UNITY.

KF, to Jackson Advocate's credit, this is a guest writer post, not a Jackson Advocate endorsement.

A fitting use of the term "comradeship". Although they could've spelled it with a 'k', the traditional spelling is more subtle. Thumbs up.

One can only hope this endorsement does for Lumumba what Bennie's endorsement did for Priester.

ok, the debate is on....just who is running? the dead guy or his son? chokeweed, jr. starts EVERY answer with "my daddy" blah blah blah

Why has this runoff gotten so boring? Will there be some endorsements soon from the losing candidates?

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.
