First, a recent news note informs us that tricking fanboys is always fun and good sport . . .
CNET: Mark Hamill tricks Comic-Con into thinking he wore Vader-Trump cosplay
Now, a look at the movers and shakers who exerted the most influence over our local Democracy this week . . .
GWEN GRANT & KANSAS CITY URBAN LEAGUE
Ms. Grant and her organization led the fight to SHUT DOWN Mayor Sly's regressive tax scheme in favor of better community based solutions. More importantly, the Mayor is now in full retreat and might soon realize that he's a LAME DUCK for the remainder of his tenure.
KANSAS SECSTATE KRIS KOBACH & PREZ TRUMP TWEETS
Amid a sketchy vote . . . Prez Trump pretty much gave SecState Kobach a victory. The connection to the White House deserves recognition because it might dictate policy across flyover country for years to come . . .
BIKE/WALK DUDE ERIC BUNCH & KCMO TRANSIT GEEKS
A horrible tragedy and a wrist-slap sentence power the career of this political rising star far more than cringe-y campaign videos. It may be exploiting death or advocating to save lives, either way, transit dudes like Eric Bunch hope to ride to victory on this important issue.
And so . . .

ReplyDeleteCan only agree that this week belonged to Kobach. He made history and will continue to do so!
DeleteGood list but have you thought about expanding it to include a bigger cross section of categories like news people and athletes. I know the focus is mostly political but it seems like there are more people that deserve to be called out for both good and bad.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, get to work on that and we'll see what you come up with.
DeleteA$$h*le
Government is fully automated makes everyone replaceable
ReplyDeleteYou really have to agree with 12:41am.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best of KC for the week?
If you brought back Murphy's downtown cattle drive, if this is the competition, the cows would win in a heartbeat!
KCMO is on the moooove!
sLIE got his ass handed to him, finally, that’s moving forward and being the bestus City ever!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely should've had Mark Bedell over Gwen. He's the first one to come out hard against the mayor. It is his city
