As promised, we've compiled the votes and thoughtful comments from our KICK-ASS TKC BLOG COMMUNITY of insiders, activists, politicos, sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies and dickheads in order to devise one of the most highly anticipated and critical Kansas City lists of the year.
To wit . . .
CELEBRATE THE KANSAS CITY 2015 TURKEY AWARDS WITH TKC AS WE DIG INTO A CORNUCOPIA OF LOCAL FAIL!!!
Without any further ado and for reasons that will become clear . . . Here's our DEFINITIVE local listing of all the people, places and ideas that made this town worse this year.
Here we go . . .
Mayor Sly James Remains Kansas City's Increasingly Angry Turkey In Chief
Mayor Sly James has been in a bad mood as of late and that's probably because he has a council that's finally asking some questions and it's clear that his charm is fading in the midst of an increasingly violent and financially insolvent city that is still chasing every development dream despite harsh economic reality.
The Toy Train Streetcar: Long Delayed Kansas City Turkey In Wait
Kansas City continues to wait for the toy train despite the fact that it's killing the Downtown restaurant biz and creating a parking crisis downtown. Meanwhile, the long process of testing continues as cheerleaders on the payroll bother commuters who are constantly inconvenienced by this fake transit monstrosity.
Cathy Jolly: Turkey Of Jackson County
There are many people who say that the sword of Damocles hangs over the head of Jackson County Executive Mikes Sanders courtesy of continued fed investigation and that may or may not prove out . . . But for now there's no question that former courthouse denizen Cathy Jolly stays losing amid a tense departure and fallout from the end of a political alliance.
Crossroads TIF: Turkey Tax Break
Petitioners in Kansas City are fighting this bit of taxpayer subsidy for millionaires in an EPIC battle that could be a game changer for future discussions about involuntary City Hall crowd funding.
Dead Tree Media: Old School And Compromised Kansas City Turkey
The daily newspaper can no longer publish interesting reporting because they have been compromised by MILLIONS in local tax breaks . . . Even worse, their site has all but eliminated reader reax and seems more weighed down with adware than one of the Buzzfeed clones. This is a tragedy for journalism purists who are all still pouting because they where first to be laid off or bought out by the newspaper while columnists like "Hoopz" continue to inexplicably pick up a check.
UPDATE: EXTRA!!! EXTRA!!! TKC TIPSTERS TELL US THAT THE TURKEY DAY EDITION IS LATE IN THE GOLDEN GHETTO!!!
Delivery has been an increasingly troublesome problem for the Star amid falling circulation and stock price of their parent company.
Condemned Antisemitic Racist Killer Turkey: Frazier Glenn Cross
A racist killer was sentenced to death in Kansas this year for his shooting spree that killed three innocent people who weren't the intended target of this turkey and prove that blind hatred poses a danger to us all.
Waste of Time Turkeys Who Just Need To Get A Better Job: Stand Up KC
Just as our blog community warned, more than a year of protests and tiresome fair wage debate ended in a big nothing for low wage workers who should have spent their time getting more training, improving their skills and looking for a better gig.
Smart Turkey Out Of Politics: Russ Johnson
There's no argument that former Council Dude Russ Johnson is smarter than TKC and most people in local politics . . . Tragically, he seemed to know this as well and that's probably why he didn't get that ATA job that was perfect for him and matched his impressive qualifications . . . Sadly, the arrogance of this former council dude who was key in devising a toy train scheme to get around a city wide vote and create a tragic taxing district is why he couldn't run for dog catcher in Kansas City until people forget his legacy . . . Which should only be a few months.
Turkey Of A Divisive Kansas City Public School Plan: Southwest Charter
Southwest has been home to at least three student rapes over the past few years but the tragic and dangerous campus didn't merit any real changes as plans to turn it into a Frenchy charter ultimately proved far too divisive as well.
Turkey Out Of Bounds: Theresa Garza Ruiz
Thanks to our KICK-ASS BLOG COMMUNITY we served the head of this politico turkey on a platter as TGR was forced to withdraw from a city council contest in the midst of a residency controversy that ultimately cost her political career.
Tax Break Fowl Play Turkey Or Proposed Coop Near The Loop: Downtown Convention Hotel Scheme
Petitioners are demanding City Hall show a bit of accountability as the fight for Democracy and the citizen initiative process according to the City Charter are now on the line for a hotel idea that's shaky at best.
Hashtag KCK Turkey: #Team Tamika
KCK politico Tamika Pledger might be a bit of a hottie but blaming the victims in a deadly car crash amid a contentious manslaughter case is a turkey of a strategy that hasn't earned her any friends.
Kansas Tax Turkey: Gov. Brownback
Not even the GOP likes this dude who is purportedly one of the most unpopular Governors in the land.
Suburban Turkey Plucked From Kansas City Metro Crime Headlines: Oak Park Mall
Armed robberies and repeated shootings signal that this turkey of a mall is caught in a violent tailspin that plagues much of the inner suburbs.
Troll Turkeys Gobble Up TKC Content!!!
There are many haters, racists and all manner of d-bags lurking in the TKC comments and then there are the douches who complain about this fact and blame this town's least favorite blogger for offensive comments that were written by some other d-bag.
Internet tough guys on TKC constantly complain and warn that our bloggy community is withering . . . But that doesn't stop them from visiting several times a day. Strangely enough, commenting has actually been rougher in years past and there are still some really thoughtful and smart people who leave their opinions, offer correction and far better insight.
Nevertheless . . .
TKC REMAINS THE LAST REMAINING FREE SPEECH ZONE IN KANSAS CITY!!!
We are dedicated to protecting Kansas City's 1st Amendment rights and realize that an open and critical discourse is necessary for understanding our local Democracy. While other blogs are shill for their advertiser masters or push a lame partisan agenda . . . Our blog community leads this town in creating a captivating conversation that speaks to the lizard brain and the ID of our readers. It might not always be pretty but our leadership, reporting and all around SPECIAL SAUCE BRAND OF AWESOME powers the best blog in Kansas City for 75 years running.
Accordingly . . .
We're Thankful For This Diverse Community Of Kansas City Turkeys!!!
Forgive us if we're slow to return an e-mail, missed a call or didn't write-up that link or tip the way you thought we would . . . The fact is that no matter what, we APPRECIATE our community at TKC and give thanks for everyone who spends a portion of their lives with us on this online home that continues to break ground and lead the local discourse.
We are GRATEFUL for the readership and the support of our TKC BLOG COMMUNITY.
We are humbled by the record number or readers we've earned this year and this important KANSAS CITY FREE SPEECH ZONE we have created together. Thank you.
Don't make me like you TKC.
ReplyDeleteHalf the fun is that you are the local bad guy. Kind of like the KCMO dunk tank.
Good fun, but are you grateful or all the haters??? Some of these people seem to have real problems.
ReplyDeleteA nice list but that's only the beginning TKC. You need to look at the council and take apart their donors and patrons like the fact that Kathryn Shields gets some very conveniently timed donations before her vote for the Crossroads TIF. Also look at the county, the jail controversy is not over and there are conflicts there that deserve attention from real reporters. I like the jokes and you obviously have your fans Tony Botello but don't break your arm by patting yourself on the back.
ReplyDeleteLess news, more tits please.
ReplyDeleteI thought "niggers" won that thread.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful Cathy Jolly still takes hard cock in the ass in exchange for lucrative consulting contracts.
ReplyDeleteObama is the biggest "Turkey" of the year Tony.
ReplyDeleteHow could he not make the list?
The current Tyrant…, er…, president’s lies compares well with Bernie Madoff, with the exception that the financial damage is National and light years worse than Bernie just screwing his friends and family. The Progressive Ponzi Scheme known as “Obama Care”, birthed from the complicit corruption of the White House and the cellular deceit on the left, in the fraudulent and malevolent mind of Johnathan Gruber escapes the attention of the Liberal Media and sickens the Americans promised succor and assistance, when in fact it delivers economic pestilence and dysfunction.
This Thanksgiving, I give thanks for, we can see the light at the end of the tunnel for this malignant, 8 year Face Plant.
While the 4th Estate has been preoccupied with global warming, advocating for “Black Lives Matter”, covering up for their “Boy” and welcoming terrorist into America, the Administration has place many feathers in it’s cap, or, should I say Crown.
His “Firsts” are noteworthy.
First President to apply for college aid as a foreign student, then deny he was a foreigner.
First President to have a social security number from a state he has never lived in.
First President to preside over a cut to the credit rating of the United States .
First President to violate the War Powers Act.
First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
First President to defy a Federal Judges court order to cease implementing the Health Care Reform Law.
First President to require all Americans to purchase a product from a third party.
First President to spend a trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs and later admit there was no such thing as shovel-ready jobs.
First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters.
First President to by-pass Congress and implement the Dream Act through executive fiat.
First President to order a secret amnesty program that stopped the deportation of illegal immigrants across the U.S. , including those with cr imi nal convictions.
First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees.
First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present.
First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.
First President to threaten insurance companies if they publicly speak-out on the reasons for their rate increases.
First President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state they are allowed to locate a factory.
First President to withdraw an existing coal permit that had been properly issued years ago.
First President to fire an inspector general of Ameri-corps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case.
First President to appoint 45 Czars to replace elected officials in his office.
First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records.
First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing NOTHING to earn it.
First President to publicly bow to Americas enemies while refusing to salute the U.S. Flag.
First President to go on multiple global apology tours (What a pussy.).
First President to go on 17 lavish vacations, including date nights and Wednesday evening White House parties for his friends, paid for
by the taxpayer (We all love vacations, but come on!).
First President to refuse to wear the U.S. Flag lapel pin.
First President to have 22 personal servants (taxpayer funded) for his wife.
First President to keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000.00 a year at taxpayer expense (Hey I love dogs, but come on!).
First President to repeat “the Holy Qur’an tells us,” and openly admit “the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth.” He should play it in Paris the next time he is there.
What a fuckin Turkey!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
yeah it's funny you didn't mention niggers, they're the biggest turkeys and were all over your suggestion post. Everybody seemed to agree niggers are a detriment to human society and yet you don't even admit this fact.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that funny? I think it's funny. No niggers. Guess we know who Tony's master is.
Guess you never noticed where IS weapons came from?
ReplyDeleteChuck you spew so many Fox News talking points I'm amazed you have time to give niggers blowjobs which we all know is your main hobby.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/jun/18/chain-email/does-obama-have-dog-trainer-retainer-102000-year-t/
No he doesn't.
So get back out to the parking lot, Rastus is waiting. He's got $5 for you.
What about that one blog where the guy quit to try and sell bmws in a corn field? That was a turkey of an idea.
ReplyDeleteOh Chuck. Please crawl back under your uneducated rock and trade blowjobs for meth. You sad piece of shit.
ReplyDeleteThink about how fucked up that is. The ONLY thing that Chuck got wrong was the dog trainer.
ReplyDeleteWow.
10:27 must be a Black Lives Matter social justice warrior.
This is the kind of sicko's who need their computers taken away. I just happen to see this.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous Broken Violin with the Same Ole Song said...
8:11, Play that Violin, aka StupidFatPedoDave the Toilet Cleaner, I love free speech, niggers and the right for you to look like an illiterate moron when Tony lets you write. Your wife died just to get away from you, but not without seeing Cum Guy first! Happy Thanksgiving, lap up that free speech, loser. It just gets uglier from here.
11/25/15, 8:30 AM
As your idiot President compares the Islamic Refugee Invasion to the Pilgrims on the Mayflower and ignores the unambiguated evidence of the entropy and dysfunction that is taking place in Europe one week after ISLAMIC TERRORISTS attack Paris, you dumb fucks might do well to read the truth about the "Religion of Peace".
ReplyDeletehttp://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2014/05/the_greatest_murder_machine_in_history.html
Now you Progressive pussies get back in line with all the other Beta-Male Dhimmis that are ready to get on their knees and hand over what is left of America to Pederast, catamite, misogynistic, female genital wrecking, wife stoning, honor killing, camel fucking pukes who have the IQ of a "Black Lives Matter" dead between the eyes perma-victim.
Great pic of Sly, Tony! Looks like the obese turkey he is. I know you had to dig through the vaults to find that one. I almost spit out my drink. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteYes there are a few good jokes in here and a lot of useful links but let's think about this. It's our fault that these characters are operating with impunity. What was the voter turnout like this year, Tony?
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you: awful.
If people don't get out there and vote, if they aren't informed about the candidates and if they don't ask questions then we as a city and as a nation are doomed.
If you don't like some of our elected officials, go out there and change it.
Naw, 1136. TKC caters to those who sit on their collect asses and complain.
ReplyDeleteTony has a major self esteem issue. people who toot their own horn usually do.
In Texas, we used to call it "big hat, no cattle". People with genuine success, do not feel compelled to tell others how special they are. If this is Tony's high water mark, I wonder who is going to support her in her old age.
HarleySays - So, anonymous 10:56 (FatAssSuperPedoDave) youre a lover of free speech, you want to spew what ever hate you want, attack who you want but if it steps on your toes, that person needs to be exposed and have their computer taken? Your medicine doesnt taste so good when you have to gulp it? Get back on your knees in front of Tony, thats where youre most talented. Its not in writing or scoring with the chics, loser.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a shame that the real reasons for the race problems can’t be addressed in a straightforward manner. Perhaps a solution could be found then. As it is, whites will be blamed and targeted until they’re forced into the very apartheid behavior that they never intended or wanted and, indeed have fought and died to prevent. There’s only so much unfair denigration and blame that can be absorbed before survival mode kicks in and retaliation is inevitable. Niggers will be emboldened by a false sense of entitlement by their Liberal handlers until the delusions lead them to start attacking whites in ways that will make deadly force against them unavoidable.
ReplyDeleteThat is, unless whites can have enough intestinal fortitude to stand back and let them destroy their own race by themselves. That would be much more desirable. But, as I said; there’s only so much pushing that can be tolerated.
I come here because I find it humorous to witness a blogger with a 5th grader's understanding of complex concepts of free speech, transit planning, social equity, and professional sports economics, attempt to appear knowledgeable.
ReplyDeleteIt's much like watching one of those ant farms when I was a kid.
Seriously? Free speech ^^^^^^^^^^^, this?
LMFAO
Fuck the police!!
ReplyDeleteI've got something for the little blonde PETA wench to gobble.
ReplyDeleteGuys that get wood from posting crap like this ^^^^^^^^^^, don't ever get any.
ReplyDeleteBTW, the cum guy and his "rusty trombone", is 12 years old and is afraid of talking to girls in his 6th grade class.
Fuck off Tony, you sack of shit.
ReplyDeleteJust from casual observations it would appear to me that Paul Wilson has to be that Harley person. But then I'm not Sherlock Holmes either, or am I? Only the Shadow and Morgan LaCruex knows.
ReplyDeleteSo Tony asks for nominations and it seems to me there's a consensus: niggers.
ReplyDeleteYet I don't see them mentioned in the list at all today.
How are he ignore the awful truth about niggers. But I'm gunna tell y'all what really happen, OK? Like...OK. So. So. Dis black guy jus goes into da store, and he's like....hey....I jus wanna buy sumthin's wits my monies. OK? Like, den, this MuthaF%^%% store owner comes out, wit dis attitude.....you know what I'm sayin? You know what I'm sayin? And den the store owner, is like.....I don't serve black people! Dats what he says! It's the truthes! And so my boy, he don't do nuthin! He just walk out! Dats it!!! Dats all dat happen!
The greatest Turkeys of the Year?
ReplyDeleteThe Kansas City Atheist Coalition!!!
Seldom has a group that claims to be able to delivers so much, actually delivered so little.
Yah yah yah just remember real friends who care about you are willing to tell the truth when it needs to be told. No matter how tough it is to swallow.
ReplyDeleteWhich is exactly why all your fake internet facebook and twitter followers are never around when you need them.
I'm thankful I'm white.
ReplyDeleteI try to imagine a world in which there were no people of color, and I can imagine it being quite good.
Then I try to imagine a world in which there were no white people, and it is a world that is very tribal, very warlike, very regressive, and very atavistic.
So, sorry, have your pro-failure little white-denigrating jerk circle; but I ain’t buying it.
I love my azure, crystal, shimmering blue eyes. The whole brown eyed world is jealous that we have them. And my porcelain white skin shimmers in the sun, taking on a golden hue in the summer. Yes, it’s hard to be so perfect. God’s best made creature.
And smartest I might add. We are magnificent!
You are labeled a hater, racist or douche bag if you are not working a scam of some type or if you make a comment that is critical of any of the gutter trash that survives by taking from others.
ReplyDeleteListen and you can hear Tony Gotello bellowing about racism and blaming his lack of achievement on white privilege. It's easy to see why Botello feels a kindrid spirit with the black thugs that inhabit the Kansas City metropolitan landscape. It's so much easier to cry hate, racism or douche bag than accept the fact that you are a loser. A bottom feeding failure.
But then it's Thanksgiving. I'm just thankful for the comedy show that is Tonys Kansas City.
^^^^^
ReplyDeleteIs that why you're reading his blog on a holiday instead of being with your family?
There are a lot of blogs in kc but most are boring. I like this one because i love all the charming people. Kc is home to many good folks.
ReplyDeleteThere are parts of this site I sometimes dislike. But I know the score when I come here to read and observe life. At least the administrator of this site does not act like everything on here is what you might see in a church bulletin. But I almost be willing to bet that those who post the most vilest stuff on here are church goers. Just my opinion on the matter.
ReplyDelete^^^^Chritians are evil people. Do not underestimate their hatred for mankind.
ReplyDeleteI love KC and I guess TKC is a part of that too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!
RS: That retort is really getting old.
ReplyDeleteI mean OLD.
Right up with TOY TRAIN, FAN BOY and LIBTARD.
STFU and wrap your mind around the reality that your mentor is a loser.
^^^^^
ReplyDeleteAnd yet you're still here, so lonely for Thanksgiving.
I'd fuck Cathy Jolly in her ass. Then cum all over her tits.
ReplyDeleteWhy not the face you may ask? She's Jewish. Jewish girls never take it in the face.
Cum Guy---Cathy Jolly??? Have you lost your mind??? Tsk, tsk. And here I was holding you in such high esteem for your taste.
ReplyDeleteWhoever this ass clown is (^^^^^^^^^^^), I agree with 5:35. The TKC suck fest is getting old. Stop trying to spoon shit out of Botello's bung hole. You sick fucking stain.
ReplyDeleteI just jerked off to A Serbian Film. Great film.
ReplyDelete12:53, 2:46 & 5:35: So maybe you should go buy another ant farm like you had in rural Kansas. Your pets would care just as much about your lack of a life as we do.
ReplyDeleteTIF commission = the ultimate turkeys in KC. Sly rules the roost.
ReplyDeleteI agree TIF commission and especially Cindy Circo. The entire previous city council for pushing through the hotel mess at the last minute and the faster than anything ever contracts that we are stuck with.
ReplyDelete......and God Bless us, everyone!!!
ReplyDeleteNow pass the gravy, you douchebags!!!!!!
Yeah we all voted niggers but evidently Niggatony ignored THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
ReplyDelete
