Houston, We Have A Problem
As soon as the Best of Jackson 2005 issue was put to bed, the JFP turned our attention to the upcoming city elections. My personal mayoral bias was that Harvey Johnson Jr. had done a pretty good job as mayor, certainly in the last four years; our readers thought so, too. They had voted him Best Elected Official and Most Under-Appreciated Jacksonian in the Best of Jackson awards—largely, I suspect because his long-term visions had started coming to fruition in the last couple years, and because he has embraced the emerging diverse, determined creative class here. It didn't hurt any that crime was falling and private investment was returning to Jackson.
51 Ways to Have Summer Fun
We here at the Jackson Free Press know that our Mississippi summer is here—even if the summer solstice isn't until June 20 at 5:57 p.m. Central Daylight Time—all blazing hot and sticky-humid. The last thing we want is for Jacksonians to be caught off guard with absolutely nothing to do for fun. We know how humiliated you'd be, caught wandering aimlessly about town, perpetually searching, fun-less and sunburned. So we'd like to offer up our failsafe, low-carb, Atkins-friendly selections for summer fun. Arm yourself with our ideas, some energy and maybe a little sunblock, and you'll be ready to stave off boredom and cancer-causing agents alike.

NFL Girls Gone Sleazy, Part 3
The lawyer for one of the Carolina Panthers cheerleaders arrested in a Tampa nightclub last week says his client wasn't having sex with the other cheerleader prior to the bathroom brawl that made the two women the most famous ex-cheerleaders in the NFL and earned them an offer to pose for Penthouse. But the woman who was slugged by one of the cheerleaders says the two were in a "compromising position." The slugee says she wasn't the woman who yelled at the two for taking so damn long. Whatever. Besides, the police say the women weren't arrested for having sex in a public bathroom, they were arrested for being drunk and disorderly and giving the police somebody else's driver's license. Namely, the driver's license of Doctor S' new best friend, Kristen Thomas (right). Kristen's daddy will only say, "It's pretty obvious you can look at those pictures that were arrested and it's not her." Study this photo carefully.
