THE TKC WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS!!!



Recently, I think Lindsay Lohan made a powerful statement about the nature of celebrity with a controversial photo set:

Similarly, or not, take a look at these Kansas City politicos who do their best to approach the spotlight confidently.

POLITICOS



1. Mayor Sly James - It's party time in Kansas City and that's when this politico shines.

2. Jackson County Legislator Crystal Williams - A coup and hard feelings after an LGBT group endorsement give her a temporary bump.

3. MO House Rep. Judy Morgan - She's attempting to create some excitement about her candidacy and doing a decent job getting out in local neighborhoods.

4. MO Sen. Claire McCaskill - Her rural area challengers don't seem nearly as formidable as most had hoped. Call it the "Romney Effect."

5. Congressman Cleaver - Also, we thought his race would be more competitive . . . It's not.

NEWSIES



Hey Cameraman - Kansas City's top resource for new media and advice about digital news-gathering.

Darla Jaye - Celebrating 7 years of winning in Kansas City this week.

Jabulani Leffall - Thought provoking radio and consistently great insights.

Amy Anderson - KCTV5's stunning female newsie that offers a great many facts in her report.

Kris Ketz - My Twitter friend and yours.

ALL-STAR ALTERNATIVES



Visit a small biz East Of Troost - They exist and they're awesome!!!

Read A Book - Seriously, when is that last time you cracked a book?

Check Alamo Drafthouse - Rather than listen to the words of aging hipsters or movie snobs. See your yourself . . . We might be starting with Batman Rises.

Dream about the iPad mini - Low tech and cheap is the new hi tech.

Listen to old school Prince songs - It's what I'm doing right now.

As always, this list has been compiled according to scientific TKC polling and market research data and it's a weekly comprehensive guide to local powerful people.

Superdave- I believe you may have mistaken a crown for a jester's hat.
