There are lots of people out there still saying KA-shama, and I can't take it anymore. Not just haters and apathetes either, but real-life socialist sympathizers, too. Talkin' about YOUNG EDUCATED PROGRESSIVES, of all people. Seattle is supposed to be some kind of united global literature whatever whatever, and we're acting hella sans culture (that's French) when we say KUH-SHAMA. She's been in these political streets for so long now that I feel weird correcting people. I don't blame them, really, because there is a K and whatnot, and I only know it's silent because I actively looked it up a few years ago. But can we PLEASE get the word out? It's shameful carrying on this way.
