Star Praises KC's Lucky, Unguided Snow Removal

For those of you who think the "Uncaused Cause" refers exclusively to the Creator of heaven and earth, think again.   In an editorial praising how "nicely" Kansas City handled this year's first big storm, the Kansas City Star could discern no guiding hand behind it.  As Mayor Bloomberg of New York City can attest, when a city mishandles a snowstorm, all fingers point at the mayor. In Kansas City, however, when snow removal goes well and as planned, the Star at least chooses to credit no one, let alone Mayor Mark Funkhouser.  There is a rumor that City Councilwoman Deb Hermann has taken credit for the good work, but that rumor may have emerged because of Hermann's historic reputation for snow jobs.
