KOMO - Ken Schram

Ken Schram: Some are just too old to drive

Let's face it, there comes an age when people start to lose coordination and reflexes. We have a minimum age for driving, but I'm thinking we need a maximum age -- or at least more frequent testing.

Schrammie: How did he get so spiteful?

Ben Schroeter is the grumpy malcontent who is trying to put a big wet blanket on the city's Fourth of July fireworks display.

Ken Schram: A sanction in search of a reason

A Tacoma city committee can't quite agree on what makes a park a park, but they're still gung ho about banning smoking in whatever a park may be.

Viewers to Ken: Squatting sculpture isn't art

Rallying to the defense of the sculpture of a nude woman on display next door to the new Burien library brought a flurry of e-mails that, in part, called into question my artistic sensibilities.

Ken Schram: Freak out! Or, just enjoy the art

Look at the vulgarity that has erupted in the bucolic village of Burien. No, wait, don't look! You just might have to enjoy a remarkable expression of beauty.

Schrammie: Your honor, you have none

I think assaulting a police officer is a serious crime, but it's too bad that King County Superior Court Judge Chris Washington doesn't see it that way.

Ken Schram: Another way for the city to gouge

Seattle just spent $160,000 on some high-tech cameras that will now automatically track and ticket when you've overstayed your welcome in a parking spot -- even if you've paid for the extra time.

Ken's E-mails: Neighbors heard loud and clear

Schram: Seattle school officials deserve better

Not only do they have to contend with the financial mess that's impacting state education, they have to also put up with an endless supply of cranky parents who refuse to look beyond their own selfish demands.

Schrammie: It's noisy near the airport. Duh!

Longing for more peace and quiet, residents near Sea-Tac Airport's new third runway filed a lawsuit. But if they wanted tranquility, pray tell: Why buy a house where little was to be had?
