I'm not going to show you the shirt. It's disgusting. http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/70400602.html We often hear how it's about teaching character and sportsmanship. If that's the case, the football coach at Washington State University has fumbled the lesson for a player accused of assault. http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/70229777.html I envision a true-life little ditty about how upper crust yuppies buy overpriced condos in a once seedy Seattle neighborhood called Belltown. http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/69980472.html Earlier this week I noted that my continued opposition to the death penalty leads me to believe that the person responsible for killing a Seattle police officer should not be executed. Others insist that justice demands such a sentence. http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/69856782.html I've received enough e-mail asking me this question that I feel compelled to answer it publicly. Would I support the death penalty for the person convicted of killing Seattle police officer Timothy Brenton? http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/69764527.html A nosy neighbor in Snohomish County has taken it upon himself to stake out bikini barista stands and post online the names of marked company vehicles that stop by. And he even calls their bosses to complain. http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/69569487.html I can't decide if it's creative or crazy, but a 3-cent tax on toilet paper could bring in hundreds of millions of dollars each year to help pay for health care reform. http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/69379262.html I called out conservative Christians on the idea of putting yet another measure on the ballot try to take away civil rights protections for same sex couples. It didn't take long to hear back. http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/69289077.html They claimed they just wanted to give voters a say. But, not happy with how the election went, conservative Christians want yet another shot to try and steal away the legal protections gays and lesbians have earned.
