TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! FUTURE POWER PLAYER GRADS: MEET UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI - KANSAS CITY LAW SCHOOL ELITE CLASS OF 2014!!!
It's graduation time in Kansas City.
This weekend parents will watch their offspring begin the long and perilous journey toward middle-management while carrying mountains of student debt.
Meanwhile, this blog has the KANSAS CITY INSIDER DEETS on who is gonna be running this town for the next 20 years.
Unreported and BREAKING NEWS FIRST on this blog . . .
THE UMKC LAW SCHOOL GRADUATING CLASS OF 2014 FEATURES RISING STAR POWER BROKERS READY TO RULE KANSAS CITY IN THE FUTURE!!!
Here is FIRST LOOK at the UMKC trio of elite local future power brokers . . . As always, click the image or these links for a bigger, better view . . .
From left to right in this TKC collage . . .
Malik James - Mayor Sly's son is a former Marine and continues the family's legal tradition. His graduation date this year is a big deal and a hint at a higher profile for the attorney in the very near future.
Brian Noland - He's a longtime Kansas City campaigner and political operative responsible for the "ground game" political move that earned Sly James a surprise Mayoral win not so long ago.
Crispin Rea - Former Vice Prez of the Kansas City Public School Board. Crispin is now leading the race for the 3rd District at-large Council job.
More fun facts . . .
Remember the whole Mammy-gate deal that destroyed disgraced former KC Mayor Funkhouser? Her son is graduating in this class too but he has a lower profile than this trio.
Also . . .
Rumor has it that Brian Noland and Malik James are going into biz with one another after graduation and will start their own firm mostly focusing on discrimination law.
Commencement is Sat. May 17th and the big party for UMKC Kangaroo Lawyers and their families is tonight.
So, while Kansas City mainstream newsies are covering graduation fights among high schoolers . . . We're teaching this community about the future and offing FIRST LOOK at who will soon be running this town. Natch.
Good luck to all of the UMKC Law School Graduates of 2014 . . . They'll need it now that armies of lawyers are being replaced by cheaper software and this post kinda proves that political connections are really the key to success in any field.
Developing . . .
Simple fact, lawyers rule KC. But it's getting harder for all but top level graduates to make a name for themselves.
ReplyDeleteCrisipin Rea is cute. Is he straight?
ReplyDeleteStraight as a hairpin curve!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAntonio, I so wanted you to go to law school. My son, it's not to late.
ReplyDeleteLawyers are a dime a dozen. These men seem to know that politics is the real future.
ReplyDeleteOuch. That means the mayors son and the grandson of the dude Noland Rd is named after didn't even get law firm job offers. Not a good sign for entering 1Ls at UMKC.
ReplyDeleteThe UMKC numbers have gotten worse too, with KU and MU both widening the gap between our lovable try-hards at 5100 oak
I graduated from law school a while ago. I don't see you posting about me on this blog.
ReplyDeleteSly James ..yet ANOTHER successful black guy.. who married one of them WHITE WIMMINS!!
ReplyDeleteI've had black female co-workers who go NUTS when they start yakkin' about how their OWN men go for the Pale Tail... they get livid!
hell .. even Michael $am scored himself a White "partner".
I don't know any gay black dudes .. but-- they gotta be steamed too, about $am's choice.
Brilliant deuction moron. Hmmmmm,,, make 150k at a big firm and get treated like shit,, or makes millions with their own practice.?. Thanks professor. Why don't you rest your head now.

Why can I always tell when Mike Hendricks is reading this blog? Keeps scowling all day. Pain in the ass.
ReplyDeleteLawyers are the only way.
ReplyDeleteJust what we need, more fucking "Discrimination" lawyers sucking the life's blood out of civilization everywhere.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading the story of the African Negro shooting AT the dude at the FUNERAL 9 times....perhaps the Kangaroo Butt Munchers could defend that loser.
ReplyDeleteSuggested defense: Stupidity !
They should go into business with Lynn aka Tonys hack lawyer. I can see it now, evenings at some martini bar, sucking down 13 dollar gin drinks, bemoaning the plight of the cowering masses of victims of evil corporate racist white Amerikkka. Discrimination lawsuits are the new reparations, doncha know. Sponsored by
ReplyDeleteLynn Thatcher
Our business is anti discrimination lawsuits......and bizness is boomin Bitches.
Just what the world needs:
ReplyDeleteMore scumbag lawyers.
Always have to begin the list with a nigger, if there's one anywhere...Disgusting.

Ah now we know why Tony's plugging him.
Several tens of brave ammosexuals and gun-fetishists, and ignorant parent's basement-dwellers are baffled by their own spectacular failure! http://atlasleft.org/missing-10-30-million-patriots-in-washington-d-c-images/
ReplyDeleteWell they wouldn't make it anywhere else so they may as well try here.
ReplyDelete1:47
ReplyDeleteThey should have squeezed the word "stakeholders" into that bullshit.
Nothing worse than nepotism. And isn't the younger James really ugly in comparison to his brother Kyle. Looks like Kyle got the good looks and this guy got to go to law school. Can't win them all.
ReplyDeleteSounds like someone had a couple of losers for parents dude. Don't blame people who are proud to follow their parents footsteps. You obviously aren't. Keep up the winning sour puss
DeleteI don't know why, but I kind of like the cut of their jibs!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of winners!! Hey 2:09,, I think we are all dying to see a picture of you now, or maybe a picture if your degree? Go Crispin!!
ReplyDeleteJust what KCMO really needs: More D-List celebrity wannabee "Power players".
ReplyDeleteHope dad leaves at least a little money in the city till for Malik and the millenials.
And Crispin is "moving up" from a complete failure during his tenure on the KCPS board.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well. GET READY FOR GREATNESS. Ha Ha Ha
ReplyDeleteMost solo practitioners do NOT make millions.
ReplyDeleteThat leaves a lot of territory now doesn't. Comments like these, gotta like their chances.
DeleteAnd to think... those are the obvious ones Tony would know. Imagine how many dark horses out there will probably eclipse the logical ones! And of course Tony never looks beyond Kansas City borders...so we can forget about ivy league types or even those over on the 'gasp' KANSAS side. Moreover, isn't UMKC kind of a 'townie' law school?
ReplyDeleteI expect the real clues who will move and shake will be those whose dads have built wealth and business already. That IS now it usually works, isn't it? Those are not the ones who have local media notoriety by their early 20s?
Whuh,, were you crying when you composed this?! Jeez, get done nuts thing!
Delete"Shakespeare's exact line ''The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers,'' was stated by Dick the Butcher in ''Henry VI,'' Part II, act IV, "
ReplyDeleteGood idea.
Like it or now, the J.D. is the new M.B.A.
ReplyDeleteIdiot
DeleteThat's how it works. As many MU grads have learned, a degree in Marketing is the new sales assistant or call-taker.
ReplyDeleteThese lawyers will make more money than all of the TKC audience put together.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. There's so many lawyers in this city. The pay is a joke.
DeleteWhen is Crispin coming out????? i have a hot hole ready for that lil cholo's chorizo!!!!!
