keep your eye on the 8-ball

one of those ridiculous assistant principals at that high school i went to used to say that:

"Students! Keep your EYES on the EIGHT ball!"

and he wore a tie every first day of school that had the balls on it. he was a clever man. also slightly strange.

anyway, so i am reminded of him because of frank melton and his hijinks. if nothing else, you have to admit that those of us residing in jackson are always entertained by his current concerns.

the JFP reported on his State of the City address, held at the Alamo on Farish St. my favorite part of the article is the recount of the opening prayer:

Rev. Charles E. Polk of Saint Luther Missionary Baptist Church gave a long, rambling prayer, in which he called on God to bless the audience but “especially” Mayor Frank Melton. “God,” Polk thundered, “I ask you to give this man supernatural powers to lead Jackson.”

(emphasis mine)

bwahahahahahaha!

maybe he should call tom cruise. the last person on earth who should have any kind of powers is frank melton.

or suri cruise.

oh and in case you are still wondering where that elusive scientology miracle is:

Where is Suri?
