Ken Schram died yesterday.   I really liked his and John Carlson's show "The Commentators" and I enjoyed a lot of other work that he did in the media.    KOMO did a nice little piece on him here:

I remember this guy. Mild bummer.

QuoteKen had been battling an internal infection for the past several months.

That's some hard-hitting investigative journalism right there! Before he died, I wonder if he had time to do a report on how colloidal silver worked?

Apparently Horror Retro and YumYum didn't give a shit about Schram.   I think he died from a failed kidney, but I could be wrong.  He was a heavy smoker and drinker, his early demise isn't a huge surprise.

LEGALIZE THE WE... oh, wait, we already did that. Moving on. *cough*

Dori Monson was telling a couple stories about Ken. I happened to be getting into my car and turning on the radio and the station had been left on the station that plays Coast from the night before, and due to this series of at least three semi-unlikely coincidences, I found myself listening to this... this fucking eulogy. And I barely paid attention to Ken Schramm when he was alive. That's the power of broadcasting!

It's good that there are no proof that angels and demons exist, or I'd get totally freaked out. Anyway, these stories that Dori told were good--they weren't his usual, smarmy, snotty bullshit.

Man, if they replaced George Noory with Dori Monson, I'd just have to start my own radio station, just to get out the screams. Anyway, these were good stories. I bet there is audio on the kiro website, if anyone is interested. He mentioned that he wrote on his blog about him.

I won't retell his stories here, I could not do them justice. So, anyway, I'm wondering what Ken Schramm's awareness level of the fluoride and the rogue geoengineering was? He sure knows more now! :)

I do. I saw the story yesterday. I was really surprised, as I didn't even know he was sick. KOMO has lost a lot of good people over the past month or two.
