Ken Schram: Rantings, from soup to nuts
SEATTLE -- Too many things in the wind right now for me to pick just one.
So here, in no particular order, are some snapshots of issues that I didn't want to let slip away without comment.
Raise your hand if you don't think Jesse Jackson is nuts for wanting to cut off Obama's?
Next...
Miss Washington says embarrassing photos of her posted on the Internet were stolen from her private stash.
Gee, I wonder if this will keep her from achieving world peace?
Next...
After just one year on the job, Seattle's school superintendent just got a whopping raise, in part because she paid a visit to all 93 schools in the district.
She'll get an even bigger raise next year if she eats lunch at any of those schools...
Next...
A former state historic preservation officer says he wants to have the Alaskan Way Viaduct declared a historic landmark to keep the structure from being torn down.
I figure if it isn't one now, it will be by the time public officials decide what to do about the roadway.
Next...
The other day a California group submitted a proposal to name a sewage treatment plant after President George W. Bush.
Hell, I can't add anything to that.

And be sure to join Ken, along with John Carlson, on "The Commentators", which airs every weekday from 3-6 p.m. on AM 570 KVI.
It's a lively exchange of information, insight and perspective with two guys who don't agree on much, but still manage to enjoy each other as they tackle issues of the day. Even better, callers are invited in on the verbal action.
