Social media rhetorical tactics and political consultant advice have brought about a curious trend to the Kansas City discourse.
Our top political and local leaders have been dancing quite a bit online lately.
We don't want to be a spoil sport . . . Dancing has its time and place . . . For instance, TKC celebrates the finely-aged curves of old school strippers working at 3 in the PM on a weekday.
But this is an important question to ask our community . . .
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF SO MANY KANSAS CITY LEADERS DANCING UP A STORM ONLINE?!?!
The social media theory is that this makes our leaders more accessible and approachable or at least makes it seem that way for the uninitiated. But here at TKC we are initiated and so it's important to ask people what they REALLY think about this trend in KANSAS CITY'S LAST REMAINING FREE SPEECH ZONE!!!
It's probably worth discussing this strategic bit of political communication beyond a mere cackle from an anchor lady hottie . . . Let's get it straight, we don't for a second believe that this isn't A CALCULATED MOVE TO DIRECT PUBLIC OPINION . . . Only fools would think that the spirit of dance overcomes our local leaders without some motive . . . Which is fine, we're asking more about efficacy, not intent.
Sure, dancing for the crowd is an easy way to garner news coverage and generate clicks but we're not sure if it's the best way to engage the community.
You decide . . .
Where's the "twerking & jerking" guy. He probably has something important to say about this topic!
ReplyDeleteThey are pandering to the mindless idiots on the east side.
ReplyDeleteI'll give the guy on the lower right a pass since he was doing it for the children.
ReplyDeleteSly, however, has less class than the Showbiz Pizza Gorilla.
I've seen Reservoir Dogs a hundred times
ReplyDeleteEverything's up to date in Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteThe 1940's is where we're headed for.
A streetcar's coming in a year or so.
We've gone about as fur as we can go.
Do your job first, THEN dance.
ReplyDeleteThat's how we used to do it in Kansas City!
River Market to Crown Center.
ReplyDeleteThat's as fur as anyone needs to go.
You can find anything with the streetcar.
Even a Kansas City ho'.
Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music.
ReplyDeleteNig jig........nothing here.....move along....
ReplyDeleteIf they are dancing at least they are not killing anyone.... so get your "nig jig on"
How are things at the car lot bear
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You Tony.
ReplyDeleteObviously you have not seen Ruckus.
Ed Ford hates you.
God is on his throne, the wind, the wind, the Carlos Castadeda, and the truth is your ally.
You ascend, you are power by way of Free Speech and your intrepid insistence that all voices must me heard.
It is a great day for you.
The carapace cracks, the truth seeks unbiased dissemination of the news.
You, mutherfuka are a bad boy.
You, are the truth.
Ed Ford's pathetic attempt, to blame TKC for the death of a emotionally unbalanced politician who would have ben better served working as a Barista at Starbucks, is a Medal Of Honor, for TKC.
ReplyDeleteWhen, seriously, when was that last time we all had any, ANY respect, for the 4the Estate?
Nice job Tony.
You are, as we all are, diminished in the shadow of heroes.
Today, you typed and projected the soul of Ambrose Bierce.
Talk is cheap.
God Bless America.
God Bless you Tony and God Bless the Truth.
Who watches Ruckus? Not many. Some people have quality lives.
ReplyDeleteFAIL!
ReplyDeleteNIGGER monkeyshines....
ReplyDeleteIf you called any of these people dancing fools, you'd be no more than half right.
ReplyDeleteBread and circuses trying to pass as governance and education.
And all at public expense.
How's Circo doing in Milan telling the world about the KCMO innovation miracle?
