TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! BLOGGING THE TOP 5 KANSAS CITY TURKEYS OF 2013!!!



This year Kansas City witnessed a great many controversies that betrayed the public trust and eroded faith in local government. Still, we're grateful for our CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED FREE SPEECH which allows us to call out so many local disappointments and apply the appropriate "turkey" tag.

To wit . . .

ONCE AGAIN, LET'S CELEBRATE TKC'S 57TH ANNUAL KANSAS CITY TURKEY AWARDS!!!

Even better . . .

HERE ARE THE TOP 5 KANSAS CITY TURKEYS FOR 2013!!!

Let's dig in  . . .

Dead Tree Media Turkeys Are Increasingly Getting The Ax



Defenders of print journalism (lol) talk a good game and love to leave nasty comments but spend most of their downtime looking for better gigs @ local colleges, the Jackson County Courthouse or some other soft landing. Like it or not, this year continued the downward spiral of the daily newspaper despite a slightly improving economy. Now more than ever it's time to stick a fork in the newspaper as an effective content delivery system . . . Sadly, there isn't a viable profit model out there that will sustain the old school institutions still clinging desperately to the outdated technology.


Councilman And Pastor Brooks Squawked About His Innocence Until His MANCHICKEN Texting Was Revealed On The TV News



More than any other elected official. . . Councilman and Pastor Brooks represents the very worst Kansas City politics has to offer. In the aftermath of his sexting scandal he somehow managed to stay in office and there's even talk he might run for reelection despite the fact that his behavior has shamed an entire district and has basically turned the City Council into a bad joke.


Toy Train Streetcar Supporters Like Staubio Gobble Up Whatever Propaganda City Hall Serves



Staubio & Co. represented themselves as selfless advocates for fixed rail right up to the point wherein streetcar supporters took jobs that raised red flags about a possible conflict of interest. As the toy train moves forward it's important to remember that most of the voices supporting the streetcar are on somebody's payroll for their "activism" and this tragic hipster welfare scheme that's looting the bus system has been rammed through mostly out of self-interest and not any reasonable hope to create a viable transit solution.


$2 Million Might Be Chicken Feed To The Civic Council But Their Translational Tax Still Didn't Fly



The Civic Council threw a ton of money away this year for a birdbrained Jackson County scheme hatched out of corporate greed with the help of Exec Mike Sanders and Legislators Theresa Garza Ruiz & Crystal Williams at a direct cost to taxpayers of more than $800K for the not-so-special election. Thankfully, voters gave this vote the hatchet by an epic margin and the local 1% seem increasingly disconnected from the rest of the population despite the help of their political consultants.


Rock Chalk KU Prof David Guth Stuffed His Foot In His Mouth With A Tragic Death Wish Tweet



And the "winner" is . . .

WITHOUT QUESTION KU PROFESSOR DAVID GUTH IS THE BIGGEST TURKEY OF THE KANSAS CITY 2013 NEWS CYCLE WITH A DEATH WISH TWEET THAT SPARKED OUTRAGE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

Don't get it twisted . . . The schemes to take funding away from KU Journalism School in the aftermath of the NRA Death Wish Tweet were nitpick-y and wrongheaded but that doesn't forgive the tragic incompetence of this journalism prof.

While wishing death on the children of the NRA after a mass shooting was bad enough . . . What's really intriguing about Guth's story was the he's in charge of teaching students how to effectively communicate . . . And that's probably the greatest tragedy of the entire hot mess . . . That somebody paid for his advice.

Since the controversy erupted Guth has apologized but nothing really makes up for distaste that he created among locals who would like to imagine a higher level of discourse among academics and not the same of reactionary chatter that dominates nearly every facet of the current American lexicon.

Now . . .

PLEASE SUGGEST YOUR OWN KANSAS CITY TURKEYS FOR 2013 AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO OUR TKC BLOG COMMUNITY!!!

  3. Glass Family opens their checkbook to buy a winning team in 2014.

    Yoder reveals small indiscretion. Says he'll never do it again. Again!

    Brownback tours campuses to show his 100% for higher education.

  4. No love for the single terminal airport?

  5. How the hell does Guth rise to the level of a turkey in face of the large field of much kore highly-qualified contenders?

    Especially when you have the likes of Carwash Cleaver's bankruptcy; Krazy Kris Kobach's home invasion rant; Yodeler Yoder's nekked drunken dip in Galilee; Butterface Peters-Baker's prosecution of rural rape while urban murders and priestly peccadillos are largely ignored; or the grounding of Vainglorious VanLoh's ego-trip at his own hand from his duplicitous double-dealing.

    Hell, there's barely room for the Hairless Wonder Rat Mikey Sanders; the Bong Brothers LeFever and Hand (aka the Tokin' Twins); Crystal "Meth" Williams, who's intoxicated on Girl Power to the point of delusion and hallucination; or Danny "The Undereducated Communicator" Rotert's falling out of favor at City Hall (indeed, did he do something to piss of his protector, the BowTie Daddy? Was he unable to stand up to the internal skulduggery at City Hall? Was he the target of jealous external PR-types- e.g. Staubio- who are always on the lookout for an opportunity to move up on the food chain?).

  8. That fat fuckin piece of shit KU Prof is right out of Central Casting. Never in harms way, never burdoned with an original thought, cocooned for life in the Halls of academe, nursed into tenure and now assured of sinecure, he pontificates daily to our children and creates unicorn worlds in their heads while the liberal abattoir grinds relentlessy away, eating piece meal the soul of what is left of America.

    ReplyDelete
  9. And way chuck do you feel you have the right to say what ever you want but nobody else can?

    Plus you condescending asshole, do you think freedom of speech only applies to you?

    Rather you agree with the professor or not he still is entitled to his opinion just the same as you.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Hey chuckles, it ain't just the liberal abattoir eating the soul out of America. It is from the abandonment of values on both sides of the aisle, in corporate board rooms, in churches and pulpits, in homes, schools and in every other facet of American life. When truth becomes relative (relative to how the spin benefits ME!!!!) soulless anarchy ensues. Enjoy the United States of America, Inc.

  11. 8:27, I in no way question his 1st Amendment rights, nor yours. That in no way negates my right to address the political proselytization of our children in schools by liberal apparatchiks and pedagogues who bend emering minds to their will, not by way of reason, but rote. And fuck you too.

    8:36

    I am ok, right now, with lining up LLoyd Blankfien and the host of shitheel fucks who sunk our economy with mortgage backed securities and legerdemain, against the wall and shooting them. The race to kill off what is left of the middle class is a 2 front attack from Wall Street on the right and liberal pukes like this proff on the left.

  21. happy thanksgiving tony! byron! chuck u crazy asshole! (im with u on the bankers though, up on the wall, bitches!)

    Turkey Yoder, for generally being stupid and incompetent, and for saying whatever AIPAC or his other shills ram down his throat in exchange for campaign contributions.

    Turkey redlight cameras, google, the nsa, and the surveillance state in general. we seriously gotta smash this shit before it gets outta hand.

    turkey KC pro sports fans- both the royals and the chiefs look just promising enough to cop your money, while a nazi supporting, jfk murkin billionaire family like the hunts continues to cash in on jackson county every year. the glass family isnt much better, what with running the largest plantation in the history of the world. and no, i dont think its racist to use the phrase "wage slavery".

    hope all my working folks enjoy their day off! everyone get some rest and enjoy the time with your families!

  23. I am thankful for my faith. It helps me keep perspective when confronted with all the negativity that seems all too profound today.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I'm thankful that so many readers here are the result of family dating. The comments on this blog would be much, much less entertaining if more of them had normal IQs.

  25. Fuck You 11:01

    Family dating? You're just pissed off because your sister broke your glasses when she sat down on the couch. Next time, take 'em off.

  27. I can't think of anything more pathetic than you group of losers taking time out of this day of thanks, to sit around and post on this stupid blog.

    And you are the ones who know how to fix health care, address the debt, fund government, and run a professional sports franchise?

    Right.

    You're comment is self-contradictory. Are you say that you're not really here?

  32. Top Turkey of 2013? Black youths....why do we let hardly 12 percent of the country hold Us hostage with violence, gov. Handouts and guilt?

    ReplyDelete
  33. flahs mob turkeys!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Yes, it seems "CK" has been blessed with a cornucopia of Turkeys!

    Wholeheartedly agree with Councilman Pastor-wannabe Brooks, the Toy Train, and Civic Council. I would include Cleaver as a fourth, for not only proving to be financially incompetent, but then refusing to address the issue, which should have garnered an automatic expulsion.

    To name the #1 Turkey, I believe we must loosen the residency requirement and travel to this fowl's roost in D.C. Yes folks, it's none other than Barack Obama...the odoriferous B.O. This turkey's second term has started so poorly that all his lies are rapidly unraveling.
