J.I.O.T.W. . .

Nils has been all over me to resurrect the Jackson Idiot Of The Week postings. Ask and ye shall receive!

This week's installment of J.I.O.T.W. is a special event, because this week's winner is not a person concurrent with past episodes, like this doofus or another fine example in these two defective sub-humans. This week's winner is, in fact, The City of Jackson.

Nestled on the fringes of downtown Jackson is a cemetery that is home to countless Civil War soldiers, known and unknown, as well as several prominent politicians, both black and white, a handful of governors, and not forgetting scores of commoners from our great state.

But let's not let any of that get in the way of the City of Jackson. Face it, if Greenwood cemetery is a football, then the City of Jackson is the monkey fucking it.

Recently, severe storms passed through the area and an old oak tree, by some estimates over a hundred years old, was felled during the foul weather. So, who do you call to clean up a giant broken tree? The nationally recognized and well-respected Asplundh? or a local outfit like Advanced Contracting Tree Service? Or hey, maybe even Ghostbusters?

Nay, my dear reader. Those are far too expensive and by jove, we're in a budget crisis!!!!11eleventy!!1 We have a new old mayor who is going to show his stuff by being fiscally responsible and contract the work through the city. Why, we have countless tree removal experts. For example, ol' Bill cleaned up a tree round his chicken house last week and heck, even ol' Tyrone has a chainsaw so we won't have to buy one of those either!

So, said city sends a crew of able-bodied, but weak-minded dopes down to the cemetery with a rented backhoe and well. . .managed to desecrate several graves in one of the oldest portions of the grounds and in one case, dragged multiple headstones some 30 feet away from their original location according to WLBT news.

In a word: disgusting!

I can just picture our crew of hapless shitheads, no no. . .on second thought, who the hell knew what was going through the seven brains cells these mongoloids apparently shared with one another. Need I remind them that cemeteries are places of divine solace for the dead, a final resting place of recognition and remembrance for families, friends and loved ones.

Known or unknown, the dead deserve our respect and the City of Jackson, Mayor Harvey Johnson and the football fucking monkeys who did this should all be ashamed, ridiculed and personally responsible to the full and complete restoration of this valuable part of American and Mississippi history.
