Quick think piece for tonight as we get ready to get nestled into our basement futon with visions of Brit glamour hottie Internets models dancing through our head . . .
WHO IS THE BIGGEST SCROOGE IN KANSAS CITY POLITICS FOR 2016?!?!
Check the choices . . .
Kansas City Internets Haterz???
Criticism is not hate. More than any other news or social media outlet . . . Our not-so-humble blog community is the LAST REMAINING KANSAS CITY FREE SPEECH ZONE ALTERNATIVE to the same old trite sentiment that clogs feeds across the Internets. An alternative perspective is important when challenging the status quo or popular perceptions that define reality. Either way, we constantly fight spammers attacking the community but keep the well-thought out original commentary whether we agree or not . . . TKC may not agree with you . . . But we all defend your right to be a jerk.
Mayor Sly Working For The 1% Kansas City Power Broker Elite???
Speaking of jerk . . . Mayor Sly is the opposite of Robin Hood and something of a Kansas City scrooge given that he has actively worked to tax the poor in favor of the rich by way of TIF, giveaways and power broker advocacy. To his credit, a quick smile and some EPIC dancing puts a better face on the Scrooge routine than just the same-old "bah! humbug" . . . Which at least is honest.
Rex Sinquefield And His Big Bucks Activism???
Trolls, jealous lesser-bloggers and conspiracy theorists suspect a connection they can't prove betwixt TKC & Rex and that's part of the reason we take pride in clowning Sinquefield and all his riches to demonstrate that the butt of our jokes isn't going to bankroll one of this toughest critics . . . What's wrong with Rex is that the rich dude doesn't have a mind for neighborhood politics, he's tone deaf when it comes to persuasion and the antics of his closest associates are going to inevitably land police pensions in the hands of City Hall in order to flex his muscles.
Kansas City Trump Voters???
Deportations, a weird vendetta against Rosie O'Donnell and a whole lot of mean tweets would put Prez-Elect Trump on the naughty list . . . Fact is, supporting the antics of this reality TV show star simply isn't nice . . . No matter how horrible the idea of Krampus Clinton might be . . . That still doesn't explain this rude dude disgracing the office of the President even before he takes power and is subsequently impeached by his Republican colleagues. None of this to say that the guy isn't entertaining. And so, Prez-Elect Trump isn't so much a leader as a guilty pleasure for the entire nation watching him quickly crash and burn like a metaphorical orange, glowing yule-log.
Fight For $15 Protesters Or The Local Biz They Might Kill???
Class struggle and the sordid topic of coin is that the center of the Charles Dickens classic with Scrooge at the center. Most reactionaries flub a critical reaction to the fight for a higher minimum wage with a knee-jerk response. The fact is, helping workers get more cash is in everyone's best interests but WITHOUT over-regulating biz and driving more people out of work by way of robot replacements. In fairness . . . The illusion of a grassroots movement is hard to stomach for many fair wage detractors given this well-organized union effort always seems to coincide with partisan talking points.
But I digress . . .
Feel free to share thoughts about Kansas City scrooges . . . And instead of morning revelation and epiphany after Scrooge clearly just had a stroke, we simply advise that anybody climbing on rooftops tonight is mostly likely not a jolly, old fat man but instead . . . Probably a crackhead.
Whatever the case . . .
Have a nice Christmas Eve . . . We might do a couple of posts in the morning and attack Santa, his pagan roots and all the racism that's an integral part of holiday celebrations.
