Tara Reid and her drunken awesome inspire us to have a bit more fun with the power rankings tonight . . .
POLITICOS
1. Mayor Sly James And KCPS Board Director Airick L. West - They both lead embattled institutions but at the end of the week they're both still in charge and have more support than their critics would like to admit.
2. School Board Member Crispin Rea - Quietly and behind the scenes this young Kansas City power broker helped assure a victory for The Kansas City Public School Board at the State Level. Politicos in the know are already talking about his impressive lobbying work this week.
3. Jackson County Prosecutor "Mean" Jean Peters Baker - In her first adversarial press conference regarding the Kansas City No Violence Alliance we hear she held her own quite nicely.
4. Council Lady Jan Marcason - She's staying quiet while so many in the City Council and around her expend their political capital early in their term.
5. Jackson County Legislator Theresa Garza Ruiz - She's looking good and attracting a lot of attention from TKC Tipsters.
NEWSIES
1. Darla Jaye - The Queen of Talk Radio in Kansas City has what is likely the most loyal fan base in this cowtown.
2. Bottom Line Communications - The definitive Kansas City media resource.
3. Stephanie Ramos - Damn.
4. Kris Ketz - Our friend on Twitter and yours.
5. The whole gang @ Northeast News - Maybe KC's best community paper.
ALTERNATIVE KANSAS CITY PIZZA PLACES
We can fight about Kansas City Pizza all day . . . These are local places that don't get enough credit.
1. IMO'S Pizza In Westport - Sacrilege to serve STL style pizza in KC . . . And that might be what makes it so good.
2. Art of Pizza - The First Friday Hangout Of Choice.
3. Sarpino's in Westport - Seriously good stuff and probably quicker than any other delivery or pickup thanks to the appetites of so many nearby stoners.
4. Red Baron At Your Grocery Store - Sorry, this is better than most people realize and definitely a worthy alternative for basement dwellers all over this cowtown.
5. D'Bronx - This one is probably my fave and because of the gourmet pizza explosion they don't get as much play as they once did. Still, the over priced boxes and loud atmosphere make it one of KC's best for those with some extra cash.
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.
Maybe.

ReplyDeleteD'bronx faithfully replicated nyc pizza. Thin, crappy, devoid of character and flavor with a price 3x what it should be. Pretty much my experience living in nyc.
ReplyDeleteAny politician that doesn't send unsolicited bulk e-mail.
ReplyDeleteWell done TKC. Pizza is much more important than politics.
ReplyDeleteYour right 9:02, D'Bronx sucks..nothing like the real thing on the streets of NY and three times the price. Not to mention what a hole 39th is. They've gotten by far to long claiming to be what they say. Italian Delights on Martway is the best KC has to offer...and they're nice people!
ReplyDeletePizza Bella you ignorant prick. Bow town to your new Crossroads overlords.
ReplyDeleteBow down that is. Sorry, it's sometimes hard to type from this iPhone.
ReplyDeleteNo jean didn't do well at the press conference.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. Red Baron. Firing up the stove right now.
ReplyDeleteKIKI isn't upset about the 17k kids, KIKI is upset that the URBAN SUMMIT lost out and weren't able to CONTROL an SAB. SHAME ON YOU KIKI, Now is the time to REELECT YVONNE WILSON!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a good rallying cry if I ever heard one...REELECT YVONNE WILSON!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure.
ReplyDeleteYes I am.
"Quietly and behind the scenes"
ReplyDeleteAs always that means somebody did not do Jack Shit, but wants to sound important after the fact.
Uh, Yvonne Wilson can't run for the Senate again. Also, she's like 85 years old. Great lady, but I think she's done with politics.
ReplyDeleteA half a bowl and then a giant size bag of Totino's Pizza Rolls. That's living!
ReplyDeleteIMOs for the WIN
ReplyDeleteWhy does Darla Jaye look like an Oompa Loompa? Tony, you're her friend. Tell her to lay off the cheap self tanner and dye her hair back to a color found in nature.
ReplyDeleteShe scares me in person
ReplyDeleteShut up, faggot.
ReplyDeleteSarpinos is great! Yummmmmmmm.
