Terri Turner adorns this important collection of Kansas City power players . . . Let's rank the strongest of the week in this cowtown:
POLITICOS
1. MO House Rep. Jason Kander - His campaign started turning up the heat on the opposition and we like the more aggressive look from Kansas City's most favored elected official.
2. Mayor Sly James - He increased hours for a couple of community centers this week and the city cheered him.
3. Gov. Jay Nixon - He's up by close to 20 points and still doesn't want to help Missouri Democrats or even mention the name of President Obama - That's a rather powerful reprisal.
4. Claire McCaskill - Remember when people wanted to think Akin still had a chance? Neither do I.
5. MO House Candidate Jeremy LaFaver - This politico actually has a long record of doing work and lobbying for children but for some reason he has been name checked rather often as of late. Maybe his impending Corridor win could be the reason.
NEWSIES
Darla Jaye - The Queen of Kansas City Conservative talk radio is also one of the most entertaining voices from the right in this town.
Kris Ketz - A twitter friend and the leader of local newsies using tech.
Bottom Line Communications - Kansas City's media referee.
Mary Sanchez - Credit where it's due . . . Our favorite Latina token managed to stir public opinion this week.
Northeast News - Kansas City's Urban Core Community Reporting powerhouse.
KANSAS CITY PUSH BACK
Occupy Sesame Street - Kansas City Blogger Leigh Ann is doing rather excellent work in order to push back against the possible firing of Big Bird.
Kansas City Star Haterz - Notice a gread deal of push back against the so-called paper of record and The Star is now on the hook for PC decisions and one-sided coverage despite their Dead Tree journalism pretension.
Baby Lisa Doubters - Local media denizens join with police in putting the tough questions back on the mom who won't talk.
Kansas City Pro-Sports Realists - The Wall Street Journal leads a movement of people who realize the historic failure of Kansas City teams doesn't look to change any time soon.
The TKC Roasterie Boycott - We've got some delicious surprises in store and already we're happy to see that we've changed the company's branding. Given that they're now playing mini-mogul instead of pretending to be the little guy.
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.
You forgot Jolie.
ReplyDeleteNeat!
ReplyDeletethis list is nothing without naming Big Bird.
ReplyDeleteThe dumbing down of murcia continues.
ReplyDeleteTime for all local newz media to go to sleep. After all it is the weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhere is Burt. America will fight for bert and Big Bird.
ReplyDeleteWell I will tell u this, u are right and wrong about Kander. He will lose this race but then he will make a comeback and rule the city. There is no stopping him once he gets inside city hall. Only then will we have a true revolution and bring KC into a new day.
ReplyDeleteDarla Jaye is awful. C'mon T, get on the right side of this. If she had a smaller penis she'd be Kevin Keitzman
ReplyDeleteI agree with 1/4 of your choices. I would like to see that data that backs this up but I appreciate this guide to local "players" nonetheless. Keep up the good work T and maybe see if we can get more people of color next time.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Byron pretend to be White? Everyone knows you are black Byron. You put to much hate on White people to be White. Are you ashamed of your black race?
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:19 PM
ReplyDeleteWhy do you need to pretend I'm Black? Did you know that northern whites don't think of themselves as white people? We think of ourselves as English, German, Polish, French, Irish, Russian, Italian, etc. Its just the damn southern, English, wanna be aristocrat, racists that I don't like. I wouldn't expect you to understand. I hate false dichotomies.
Please, is that the best you racists have got?
ReplyDeleteIt's like white trash show down on here.
Fucking trailer park debate and knowledge.
I like suckin weenies! Black or white.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I made it on the list!!! Every Friday I buy some special food to celebrate making the list, and up until now it's always turned into "comfort food". Hooray! and Gracias!!!
ReplyDeleteFucking Bushnell, his man tits are bigger than his wife's
ReplyDeleteBREAKING NEWS! Bushnell is a fucking old man balding
ReplyDeleteI fuck sheep hooves
ReplyDeleteBushnell fucked me, once. The rest of the time, I fuck HIM! HE IS MY BITCH! FUCK YA!! My mom fucks him too. in his extra large ass. he is not balding on his ass, let me tell you what.
ReplyDeleteWhen an ad sheet is listed as a "power house" this town's media choices are non-existent.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing good about the northeast news is the hotness of its young editor.
ReplyDeleteBushnell's ass is nice, but its his man tits that I get off on when I suckle on. I am JJ Rizzo's mom, and I suck on Bushnell man tits. and I cant even cum, but they taste funny. like a cow udder. which I really like. WHY CANT I CUM TONY?!?! Your mom is the only guarantee ever for me to cum.
ReplyDeleteI got to Renaissance Festival and get turkey legs. And stuff them in my mangina. and cum on them.
ReplyDeleteGross but true. I have pics.
ReplyDeleteBe nice to Bushnell. His paper is dying from its cancer - him. what a boob.
ReplyDeleteNortheast news sells ads to beaners and slum lords. No news. Gossip, at best.
ReplyDeleteBushnell and his wife couldnt even make a baby let a good newspaper. His wife has a nice twat, I could make a baby in her, but bushnell doesn't even shoot blanks, he just doesnt shoot. unless its in tony's ass. he has made a white sticky mess of that fucking man cave.
ReplyDeleteIts true. Sometimes its a blowout, like a Chiefs loss.
