Recently I've been critical of some of the editorial comments that appeared in both the Shawnee Dispatch and the Shawnee/Lenexa section of the KC Star.
One thing I'd like to say is that at least Loren Stanton truly has the courage of his convictions. When he writes an opinion piece for the KC Star his byline and picture accompanies it (at least on line). Believe that the print copy just has his byline. Personally, I respect that.
On the other hand, John Beal "hides" who he is. Hey John, it's a small community paper. Be really involved. Tell ya what.......the next time ya take a shower, reach down and see if those certain special items are still there. If they are, start taking credit for your "editorial opinions". The byline would be nice......we don't necessarily need the picture.
