Hopefully after this hot super bowl today, we will be hearing some interesting news this coming week. Some little birds are chirping again – has anyone heard any ties of Puhl-ass-o and Jamie Miller to the S. H. Anthony situation? I had not heard this information before. Anyone know any intel on this?
And I am hearing some names again from the bird – dejavu – LS, JM, and even some MDA names!!! What the hey is going on folks???
If what the bird is cheeping is true, the good times will really be rolling on the coast this Mardi Gras!!!!
I can’t say that I have heard anything “out of the ordinary” regarding Miller since the DMR land purchases made headlines, his doings with “Da-Frontier-Boiz’ and the reckless firings that have occurred under his wholesome Christian dictatorship. I would not put anything past it. After all, Miller was some sort of “chief of staff” for BLO-ZO a few years back–Remember the drunk party and such that made the headlines.
It looks like Millers’ boy will be visiting the coast this week for some sort of promotion ceremony at “the agency.” This should be some good PR for Miller and a treat for the public. I am sure the governor will flap his lips about the great job Miller is doing. He may even elaborate on how Miller has turned the DMR around and Pickering has brought the former DMR crooks to Justice.
Anyone know if its open to the public?
Uh-oh Eye – Maybe old Pul-ass-o feels lonesome fbmwor Mississippi??? What an embarrassment to our State! And what business does a Federal representative, like himself, have to do with State business anyway? I thought they were supposed to keep a strict line between State and Federal Agencies when it came to employees. Most of the employees that were hired at the DMR were sent there through Pul-ass-o via Fata$$. Hmmm – yet more unethical actions. But oops – I keep forgetting. He thinks he’s invisible – Also, it looks like the FEDS will be taking over the Coast oysters from the fishermen. Ole Phil has an interest in it, so just follow the $$$. It’s about time they put the million dollar DMR building in the Pass harbor to work. A lot of butt kissing got that monstrosity built. Too much money wasted – could have been spent a lot wiser. But I forgot again – Someone needed a new Range Rover – or BMW!
Laissez les bons temps rouler !!!!
Horny Problems in Pascagoula. Kicking over some rocks to see what’s under.
Just the other day I was out for a walk. I heard the train horn and thought to myself something like “Hope Morris didn’t hear that!” Then I thought to myself why would he have such a problem with those trains? Because even before the SRHS financial fiascos were revealed, Morris seemed to have the proverbial hard on to do something about those horns. I know they are loud and no doubt many guests at the Hilton Garden Inn in Pascagoula appreciate such old fashioned sounds less than I do (see various online reviews/complaints for the details.) Then too, building the Jackson County Chamber building about 50 feet from the crossing and then complaining about the noise was a stroke of something.
Then I thought to self something like: Maybe there is more to this horny problem?
The first item was finding out that one of SRHS “investments” was the Pascagoula Senior Center. The second item was a proposed senior assisted living center right next door to the new senior center. There turned out to be government financing, an LLC, Morris Strickland, a new Pascagoula Redevelopment Authority, bids; need a timeline to help sort it out!
I did my best but there might be a typo or a mistake. Post any corrections right here!

Miss Press apparently first report on the horny problems in Pascagoula headline is “Pascagoula should hush noisy train horns, businessman Morris Strickland says ”
One thing I’ve noticed over the years: in order to “secure” federal (aka HUD backed) funding for residential properties a developer must meet a certain noise threshold. This can be hard to do when you are building next to train tracks. Seems to me Mr. Morrison and krewe are trying to dupe the taxpayers into subsiding the extra funds necessary to meet the “noise” criteria or to build a case for an exception. Seems they have been somewhat successful in their endeavors so far. Very smooth move letting the taxpayers pay for a “feasability” study to justify government backed loans and/or developments. Oh the tangled web some weave.
