Hmmm, Matt Ward Not At The Pahrump Valley Times?

Matt "Jerry Sandusky" Ward is the editor at the Pahrump Valley Times, or maybe he isn't.
In their "From the Editor" segment of the PVT, it was written by Mark Waite:
FROM THE EDITOR: Looking forward, it’s politics and hope for change

Maybe Waite overthrew Ward in a coupe?
Maybe Ward is in Colorado, smoking up a few joints, seeing that Colorado legalized pot?
Maybe Stephens Media fired him?
Maybe the aliens got him  Nah, aliens from out of space are not that stupid to take him, but if they did, the probing of the ass would be kind of funny.
Whatever the reason, if Ward is gone, great, if not, just more time to make fun of this funny, coward and deranged little fellow.
