Be careful what u wish for cause it can come around and bite you in the butt. It's an Egyptian problem let the people of Egypt deal with it.

As speaker, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., engineered a $2 million, 71 percent increase immediately after that transfer of party control. You people better ripping the tea party and republicans must have missed this paragraph which didn't even include her travel expenses on air force jets for her, family and staff. I'm an independent they are all dirt. Don't limit your anger or rage to one side of the aisle or the other. The entire system is broken and will require term limits to even begin to fix it. Now if you want some real reading look at the white house budget and see what bama boy spends everytime he goes campaigning in air force one. Think about. And republicans you certainly remember how much Bush spent doing the same thing. You see people, it's the system and it's broken.

One of the reason our traffic laws DON'T WORK is the fines are wayyyyy to low. Make it $1,500.00 for a first offense $ 5,000.00 and loss of your car for 6 months on the next offense then you will get peoples attention. These scum in Olympia will have to get their faces out of the cell phone industry trough and do what right for the people and not the cell phone companys who in many cases write the legislation and recommend the fines. Bet ya didn't know that did ya.

It isn't the "financial crisis" that got us here it was to much spending that got us here. Now because you couldn't swindle us out of more money in the last election your out there making the point that it's the Fed, it's the voters, it's everybody but you clowns in Olympias fault that we are in the shape we are in. Well, actually u did have some help from our Govenor.

I'm really hoping this will be it for Democrats in Olympia. They have had more than enough time to fix the state and it's only gotten worse and based on what Chris and friends from Olympia are saying it's only going to go down hill from here. Remember, you clowns are no different than me and every other working stiff in this state. You can't spend more than you make and not have it catch up to you. Unlike the clowns in D.C. you can't print more money so here we are under funded and it's getting more dangerous every day.

Yes, really. High school kids will in time become 18 and get to vote. Barb Baby is feathering her nest with new hatchlings so when she runs for reelection not only will these mush heads vote for her but they will get their buddy's to vote for her and in the part of the world where they live those votes can put you over the top. No, I'm not kidding this is what the politics bring us. Sad to say.

If we need to collect revenue then lets take it from people who are breaking the law. I see absolutley nothing wrong with that and I actually see a lot right with that. If we can't control drunk drivers, which apparently we can't then lets at least get some revenue from the scum that run red lights and speed.

It's that simple. What idiots are these that put unarmed women among convicted felons. Lets just suppose for a moment that we had all kind of prison guards and they could patrol in pairs. I'm telling you right now you put a gal with me on that yard and I'm leaving. Same with riding with a gal in a patrol car no way in the world. And you can take all that "training" stuff and put it where the sun don't shine. A 5' 120 lb gal can't cover anyones back. Thats a fact.

I'm bettin this guy has a rap sheet a mile long and has done this before. Know what? He will do it again. Sun, 30 Jan 2011 22:14:19 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114897564.html#IDComment124793490 http://www.komonews.com/opinion/kenschram/114650764.html#IDComment124731015 "tact is a way of making the point" No Ken, it's now called political correctness. Yes indeed this guy put his opinion out there for the world to see and he wasn't tactful. Good for him. I'm so sick and tired of this political correctness stuff I could throw up. The city of Seallte does on very good job of making sure that these cops go out everyday with one hand tied behind their backs and one eye over their shoulder. It's one thing to have to fight crime it's another to have to fight the city and these guys do every day. Why do u think that police chief candidate from Sacramento pulled his name and headed home. He could see this stuff happening big time and wanted no part of it. Diaz on the other hand is the citys "boy". Whichever way the political wind is blowing thats the way he's pointing and that is NOT leadership. Thanks for bringing this to everyones attention Ken.

He will go to trial be found guilty of whatever the plea bargain turns out to be and the cut loose to perhaps this time be more aggresive and perhaps even kill someone. Thats the way it works in this country like it or not. Look back at all of the cases over the years where when one of these crazys has a rap sheet thats a mile long. Same thing here and with the way the system works we havne't heard the last of this scum bag. Trust me. Sun, 30 Jan 2011 15:25:18 +0000 http://westseattle.komonews.com/content/neighbors-alleged-park-attacker-he-has-long-history-crossing-line#IDComment124728510 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114858854.html#IDComment124727100 And why exactly is this news? What this guy gets for compensation is between him and the board of directors at starbucks. I know the media folks like to float this stuff out there to drum up the class warfare thing but these storys are getting a bit tired. If people don't like the pay, the benefits or anything else about starbucks there is always tulleys or some other spot to get a cafine fix. This is dead end journalism. Sun, 30 Jan 2011 15:19:17 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114858854.html#IDComment124727100 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114860624.html#IDComment124725773 Two things. One, this should help with the "wet back" issue. If there isn't anything free for them here they will quit comming here. Last numbers I heard of illegals comming across the border was down and down because our economy is in the tank not because of any help from the government. Two. I'm sure that most in Washington State had no idea we even had the programs that are being cut. We shouldn't have had them from the start. If we follow the immigration law it says you have to speak and understand english and you have to have a job or other means of support when u enter the country. You aren't supposed to be able to get in here unless u meet those two criteria and yet look what we have. We don't need immigration reform, we need to enforce the immigration law.

Don't wave a bunch of goofy signs for the media here get back to Egypt and do some good. Sun, 30 Jan 2011 15:07:12 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114867194.html#IDComment124724205 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114867194.html#IDComment124723725 Don't we ever learn from history? We let the leader of Iran get run out of his country by muslim extremists in the 70's and now we are sitting back and doing nothing and letting the Egyptians do the exact same thing back by the a similar bunch of extremists. It happened in Iran and it will happen in Egypt and in 10 years there will be another Iran. Because we have the society and culture we have here doens't mean it belongs anywhere else and quite frankly people have a hard time explaining to me how our way of doing things is sucessful anymore Sun, 30 Jan 2011 15:05:01 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/114867194.html#IDComment124723725 http://www.komonews.com/news/problemsolvers/114842984.html#IDComment124537974 Similar story to the firefighter that died of cancer and now we get to support his family. This is the same type of thing and ya know if the chests of money in Olympia overflowed with money I wouldn't have a problem with it, but they aren't and so there is no money to pay these kinds of benefits. Survivor benefits for police and fire are supposed to be for acutual injurys suffered in the line of duty. Shot, car accident, knifed etc etc not getting sick.

Come on. That should be a straight up or down answer. Did she shot the 13 year old? If she can't answer that then perhaps put her back in the office filing stuff as I for sure don't want her involved with anything that has to do with a fire arm.
