We may not be as strong as Miranda Kerr pretending to be Wonder Woman but we did our best this week. Take a look at some of the strongest people and trends here in Kansas City this week . . .
POLITICOS
1. Former Kansas City Councilman Terry Riley - He's BAAAAAAAAACK!!!
2. Kansas City Council Lady Jan Marcason - She's now the budget
3. Council Dude Russ Johnson - He's the engineer of Kansas City's toy train nonsense but let's not forget that the rest of the Council and Mayor are on board.
4. Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders - Pretending to call term limits reform . . . More on this later . . .
5. MO State Senator Will Kraus - In a powerful gesture of hatred, he doomed his career in a legislative vendetta against undocumented children. Now he'll remain forever out of the mainstream and in god forsaken Lee's Summit.
KANSAS CITY FEMALE JOURNALISTS!!!
Christa Dubill - Ms. Dubill inspired me to dedicate this list to female newsies this week because watching this journalist in action was an education and made me realize how much I don't know about the profession/vocation.
Cynthia Newsome - Back on TV after a valiant cancer battle and one of the most inspiring ladies on the air.
DeAnn Smith - The kick-ass blogger and journalist in residence @ KCTV5
X-Tina Medina - She put together more than a few high profile stories this week that covered everything from murder to school issues.
Diane Cho - Strong because she does great work and her profile says she's into Muay Thai kickboxing.
TKC FAVORITES!!!
Uncommon Courage - Currently my favorite Kansas City blogger and somebody SERIOUSLY willing to take a stand in Kansas City. Double Bonus: Some of her posts really do crack me up, you'll find them quite funny and informative as well.
Kansas City's Bold New Poets - A Kansas City Artistic Movement. This really is a great collection of people from all over Kansas City who are coming together to celebrate art, culture and the power of the spoken work.
Kansas City's Greatest Piano Man Mark Lowrey - Defining Kansas City's sound for the future.
Where To Find Chocolate Ale from The 816 - The only resource you'll need next week as Kansas City goes INSANE for coco booze.
Kansas City Maps and Geographic Information Systems - Putting Kansas City in perspective in a visually exciting way.
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.
Miranda nice!
ReplyDeletewhere's Mary Puta Sanchez????
ReplyDeleteLolz
ReplyDeleteQuit promoting the Chocolate Ale app from 816. Its a stupid joke that doesn't work. We get it, they mentioned your name, Tony. Makes it even more stupid.
ReplyDeleteTerry Riley is back?? You're implying he left for some place. He's still a cockroach, scrambling under the chairs and in the cabinets of those who matter, scratching for crumbs to stay alive. And like a cockroach, Riley will survive a nuclear disaster. Not that that's a good thing.
ReplyDeletetony, with your broke ass living in your parents house, you would think you would be on board and support the streetcar. You wouldn't have to steal your parents car anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning me on your blog, Tony. And just so we're clear ... as I told you after the interview, you have no fucking chance with me. None. I prefer that any man I date has an actual job.
ReplyDeleteChrista, since an actual job is a requirement for a guy to be with you, I guess you won't be doing Terry Riley anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteLOL@Christa
ReplyDeleteLooking at the names of politicos on this list is all you need to know to start planning to move out of KCMO.
ReplyDeleteAnd taking your money with you.
agree
ReplyDeleteShow us your tits Christa! It is almost Mardi Gras.
ReplyDeleteHas Mike Sanders done a damn thing to beat Republicans since he became Democrat State Chairman? Sanders is scared. He has always been a Republican but ran as a Democrat in a Democrat majority county. He cannot bring himself to say anything combative about the Republicans. He is living a lie on so many levels, not just that wig he wears.
ReplyDelete"Uncommon Courage - Currently my favorite Kansas City blogger..."
ReplyDeleteShe's your favorite blogger because she's your lawyer, you great bloddy fool, and mentioning her blog on your blog is probably the only was you can "pay" her for defending your libelous ass. Why not be honest and simply say it?
Hey, Tony. Just read your attorney's latest post. No offense, but for your sake, I hope she knows more about the law than American history.
ReplyDeleteA couple of facts for you, Lynne:
1. It's "leeches," not leaches -- and they ARE being used in some medical settings today.
2. About half of the states ALREADY had full suffrage for women when the 19th Amendment was passed.
3. Pipes and indoor plumbing existed in parts of Europe and elsewhere for centuries before this country was founded. The U.S. may not have had indoor plumbing, but a good part of the civilized world did.
Saw Lynne's resume, by the way. Can you really be "a certified practitioner of psychodrama"? Hmm. Yeah ... that's who I want representing me in court.

Mike Sanders called for term limits. He should lead by example, he can not ethically seek re-election.
ReplyDeleteDid he start something that he is unwilling to finish? Did his people get him to flap his mouth on this non-issue issue? Poor Mikey...what will he do!? look like a fool and seek re-election or vacant a position that he still wants?
terry the crook is back so what else is new.
ReplyDelete10:59, did Terry O'Riley ever really leave? He's been living off crumbs from Tindall and Company since he, thankfully, had to leave office. But he doesn't make enough to pay his water bill!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fucking pussy you are. I'm laughing here: "Ms. Dubill inspired me to dedicate this list to female newsies this week because watching this journalist in action was an education and made me realize how much I don't know about the profession/vocation."
ReplyDeleteshe does a puff piece on yu and you're smitten?
Wuss
"Ms Dubill?"
ReplyDeleteYou in 3rd grade?
Wonderful milk sacks!!
